    Scotrail - RMT Strike Ballot

    It'll be interesting to see what they have to say. I know quite a bit about this situation and feel it is absolutely worth having balloted for. Hopefully it will not go as far as striking on the day's quoted. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Unfortunately, that seems to be all to...

    Class 156 lifespan

    I find myself working 156's nearly every shift, and I love them. Reliable, simple to operate, and not too shabby off the mark. I do think the ex SPT units could do with an internal refresh, though I don't care for the unit that has been fitted with non slip flooring throughout in lieu of...

    Maybe not quite, but for future reference Englandisgreat (and it is! ) in Scotland you must give your name and address to plod when asked otherwise they officially take the huff. Still think it was more than a touch harsh from what you say.

    Football

    I 'd be happy, to never leave the Scottish Football League, it was a selfiish decision based on greed to set up the SPL, depriving the remaining 28 clubs, (at the time) a fair share of TV revenue. I'd ideally like to have a united league once again. Failing that, remain in the SFL. It is up to...
