Unlike some on here I made a decision based on what I wanted to do and how far from home I wanted to go. Its a temporary phase of life and I had no qualms about moving away and striking out on my own - these people are adults and 18 years old, its time they made their own way in life instead of...

Oh look another remoaner Gammon has been triggered by someone having a different point of view from them. Please point out where you think in my post I've come out with anything approaching the point you have made.

The new Scotrail timetable has also brought with it additional information on the display screens at stations. Now you get "a Scotrail train formed of 4 carriages" PLUS "this train departed<insert previous station name> on time at 08:18" Handy to see for everyone instead of faffing about on apps.
