At 84, he doesn't see too well these days and his hearing has sharpened as a result so he's aware that the train is a lot heavier than the usual Transpennine Express commuters.
Could it be freight?

The UK rail system is so often an absolute joke. Problems start right at the top IMO.

Have taken 40-50 trains in my time here since January 2017 and I'd say less than a handful have been on time... many have no or limited food service even when doing Wigan North West to Edinburgh/Dundee.
It really is dire, and fares are to rise way above wage inflation again. Quite scandalous.

Scotland have opened more previously closed lines and stations as well as new stations than anywhere else in the UK over the last 20 years.
Bruntstane - Newcraighall stations
Dunfermline Queen Margaret station
Laurencekirk station
Stirling - Alloa line
The Borders Railway
Edinburgh Park station
Edinburgh Gateway station (white elephant)
Not to mention electrification of most of the Central belt.

The train system is terrible; what a con privatisation was. Several times I've been required to get a bus for at least part of the journey between England and Scotland; several times had to stand for an entire journey of three hours; can't count the number of delays I've experienced; the expensive terrible food and lack of toilets. Another disgrace to one of the richest countries in the world in the twenty-first century. Anyone who has taken a train in contiental Europe will be aware of the enormous difference in performance.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but was wondering if anyone who contributed to it might know the answer to this question.
There's a large rectangular block of bright LEDs on the side of one of the buildings at the rail depot beside Portobello Golf Course. What is it for?

Thought I'd ask this question here to benefit from the rail industry knowledge we've read before...
I'm travelling from Edinburgh to Hull by rail. Due to social distancing, I had to pay for a first class ticket. I change trains at York. Having collected the tickets, I only have a reserved seat from Edinburgh to York.
Is that just because the train from York to Hull won't have a first class carriage?
