Train fettling

Planned return train from Glasgow cancelled. 
Grrr
Next train via Stirling wouldn’t make Dunblane connection.
Feck.
Checked geeky real train times app
Hmmm
Worked out Glasgow to Aberdeen fast train would take priority over a stopping service trundling from Edinburgh to Dunblane, as it uses same northbound platform at Stirling.
Hmmmmmm!!

Ended up on super comfy intercity 125 (shamelessly occupying  a first class seat as I’d been mucked about!), non stop to Stirling, where I exited, joined fuming folk on platform waiting for delayed local train, which arrived two mins later, and I was then home in 20 mins.

Quietly pleased, but by gum you need to know your choochoos and the network to avoid the buggeration factors sometimes!!
