Question from a non-staff 16-25 railcard holder! Who causes you more grief, YP or Senior railcard holders? Most young people I see generally have the card out and ready resulting in a pretty quick inspection.

The local press has today picked up on the ongoing issue surrounding the reliability of the escalators at the Waverley steps entrance/exit. I don't travel often enough through stations with escalators apart from EDB but surely other stations manage to do better!? Why are these (not even 3 year...

I suspect the keywords are "with you" - i.e Yourself (1 person) + an additional 3 adults is the same a maximum of 4 adults.

The key question is what was said during the discussions with the guard when the tickets were withdrawn. If the guard believed that there was no possibility of getting the railcard to the OP's son (or even one was held in the first place) then arguably the course of action taken prevents further...

Several of the Fife Circle services that start on the Edinburgh side of the Forth Bridge call at stations on the way to the 'circle' then call again on the way back to Edinburgh. All part of the same service, the train can start and terminate at the same station.

On the other hand, the cost to the NHS in treating those with smoking related health problems will be correlated with the percentage of the population who smoke! The cost to the NHS due to smoking related issues is certainly not insignificant.

Definitely has to be a contender, this is quite a good video of both services. Plenty coaches in Inter-City livery and the interiors don't look any newer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD2djY5Jvqw

I'd be surprised if this problem is not more or less solved in 10 years time (it shouldn't take anything near that length of time but I bet it does...) by all season tickets moving to smart cards. Lose it and it can be instantly cancelled and re-issued - infinite times. I suspect the worry for...

I make this journey most weeks, I have the choice of getting on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow train that terminates at Queen Street, walking to Central Low Level then getting on the next service that stops at Bridgeton. Or I can get on a service that stops at Bellshill and change onto a Dalmuir...

https://www.facebook.com/ScotRail/posts/580206132003434 The seems to be the latest 'viral' post on ScotRail's Facebook page. With more and more trains being internet enabled for passenger use (I know this one won't have been), is it time to look for an upgrade to Avantix and the associated...

In Scotland drinking on football coaches has been banned for a long time. If you can change the football culture here you can change it anywhere. (http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/ArtsCultureSport/Sport/SafetyIssues/SportsGrounds/AlcoholControl) Personally I think the way the problem is...

Personally, I think the right balance has been set by ATOC (if this guidance does exist...) and it is up to those in the front line customer facing roles to be in charge of applying the common sense here. I disagree with changing any rules on Advance ticketing, they are there for a reason and...

Dundee is my local station and I suspect that this topic is, for a reason that I'm not sure of, a station mangement favourite. At least a year ago now there was a A4 piece of paper stuck on the staffed wide access gate that stated in bold and underlined text that access to the platform was for...
