Details of #ScotGov owned #ScotRail timetable changes; good to see extra #trains on Sundays on many routes, making #CarFree leisure travel more do-able.

(But when did ScotRail remove the few other operator services from their timetables? Not helpful for full overview of #Inverness + #Aberdeen #InterCity trains and especially not for #EastLothian travellers! #Integration is much more important than hiding other services out of spite and making travel options look worse!)

In past years I've had swallows resting on the phone lines behind my house, but alas not this year. So I was especially delighted to see several swallows on the River Esk this morning. (Excuse the poor quality video!)

It's not quite a #SilentSunday scene, but the #bird song is peaceful which is close enough I think. #birds #EastLothian
