I have heard through the grapevine that the weather is going to be horrendous from next Friday, worse than today and tomorrow and most likely the trains will be cancelled.

Who told you that? Michael Fish? John Kettley? God?

Thought they could only accurately predict weather about 4-5 days in advance.

Think someone is pulling your leg. The long range weather forecast for next Saturday in Edinburgh and Aberdeen shows the wind speed as being about 20mph. Compared to today that's summer.

Do you work for a bus company?

I know.

As for refunds, I'm not sure how quick you would get them, as it's Christmas time it might be into the new year.

What's the weather got to do with Felnon? Was that information right or wrong incidentally? :cb

Trains should still be running next weekend. They are running today albeit a country wide 50mph speed restriction is in place and the Tay rail bridge is shut due to the high winds so trains to Dundee and the north are diverted via Perth which means extended journey times for all journeys.

If your travelling next Saturday morning then get the 07:28 or the 08:29 Aberdeen trains because even if they are quite late then you will still have plenty time to make the game.

Would like to add that trains to Dundee/Perth and Aberdeen have now been suspended due to the poor weather conditions. You can check for updates via scotrail journey check.

It's heavy snow and winds next week I'm informed. :aok:

I suppose everyone talking about this, refunds on trains etc are preparing cautiously so my work is complete :greengrin

The weather forecasters can barely predict what's going to happen 48 hours in advance, never mind seven days.

I'm not saying this won't be true, snow in Scotland in the middle of December would hardly come as much of a surprise.

Ignore all the moaning fuds on here mate - they bring this place to its knees.

Thanks for the info.

Strange. Aberdeen is rarely totally without a train service. To have this much advance warning would be absolutely unprecedented. I don't think I have failed to get to a game due to weather once in the last five years. :confused:

Fair enough, what I'm saying is before pre paying for train tickets etc take into consideration there is severe weather foretasted throughout Scotland next week.

Trains might not be cancelled but you could find yourself paying for the train and the game being cancelled or whatever.

I'm sorry if I have the wrong info and trains up to Aberdeen never get cancelled but the University has advised staff to be prepared and cautious because the weather is meant to be worse the end of next week than it is today.

I ain't dismissing it totally...............if I did it would guarantee that there are no trains running next week. :greengrin

I know mate, to be honest I feel a bit of a fool posting it now. I just wanted fellow supporters to be made aware of the conditions predicted for next week, at a time money is scarce and Christmas coming up. :aok:

No need. Given what's happening out there today anything is possible.

No need to feel a fool IMO, it's just that predicting the weather accurately, this far in advance, is unheard of.
