Surprising that the previous supplier didn't bid considering the app was functional and ready to use

Great, thank you.

I thought about that but Lanarks go that way anyway. I can't see anything that overtakes on the mainine either. Do ScotRail drivers sign the WCML on that section?

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:L87077/2026-08-19/detailed#allox_id=0 Does anyone know why this service is routed via Bellshill and not the WCML route direct to Uddingston? It doesn't call anywhere between Motherwell and Glasgow Central.

Another disimprovement with the app is with flexipasses it's not easy to see how many individual tickets are left available to use.

1K50 showing on Traksy as near 2K71

I think as soon as an interim report can be made available from RAIB the better. But I agree with your thoughts.

I've been recommending the Northern app to people in work and also a couple of people at my local station who were having issues with the app. Most people are oblivious that you can buy from another retailer though. But those that have switched, I doubt they will return to the ScotRail app.

Ah that's not so bad then but still an inconvenience for those affected

Another issue someone on X queried was annual tickets. They only work on the old app until October. After that, the ticket won't work at all and you have to get a refund and buy a new one on the new app - but wouldn't that be more expensive after the annual price increase? What an absolute shambles.

A pop up now prevents buying new tickets in the old app. The only two available options are to download the new app or to see existing tickets in the old app.

Thanks for the replies. I'll look at a smart card or just have to suffer the new app

The 3 car stopping marker on P1 at Hamilton West has moved to the 6 car marker and now labeled as 'S car'. So this means everyone waiting near the station building and under cover now has to shuffle along the platform when the train arrives. So this is inconvenient for passengers and increases...

That's good to hear. Could you suggest one that sells ScotRail flexi tickets please? I've tried Northern but that doesn't offer the flexipass ticket (12 singles)

For flexi tickets, I presume I have no option but to download the new (cr)app?
