    Would Scottish Independence Affect services to/from England?

    Quite ironic that the most agressive and dismissive posts are coming from the very people accusing Yes voters of being racist, bigotted, etc. If Scotland votes Yes it is beyond me why anyone outside Scotland would be angry or want the new country to fail. If it was Wales and the people living...

    Police presence on late night trains.

    It was never really much of a problem to be honest. And if you're in a fit state with a few mates and not being loud the guard normally has no problem with it (a couple of times coming back from football games we've simply not noticed the time going past 9pm and are still having a beer and...

    First class -where's the profit?

    There should be no class on the trains, everyone should get the same service, all people using trains are equal.

    Scotland: Forward thinking with their railways?

    EGIP is now a pathetic immitation of what it was supposed to be.

    Network Rail racks up £1million air travel bill – because it’s cheaper than trains

    I live close to the centre of Glasgow but will choose to travel by air if it is for work, sitting on a Pendalino for 4-5 hours in a suit is no fun south of Preston when they are packed. The train from Glasgow Central that gets you into London for late morning meetings leaves before the commuter...

    London to Carcasonne

    I changed at Narbone for the train to Carcasonne, was different platforms but the station is small.

    Ghost Trains or Parliamentary

    Any in Scotland? I know there is a rare Glasgow QS - Kirkcaldy which is maybe once a day. And Golf Street and Barry Links stations in the north east get a train stopping once every blue moon to prevent closure. Anything else?

    Free first class upgrade... or not

    Had a closer look today and they seem to be Scotrail? Certainly have a Scotrail badge on and possible a logo on the high viz?

    Free first class upgrade... or not

    Who employs the yellow jacketed muppets manning the barriers at Central? Unprofessional and rude imo.

    Trolley Dolly @ Scotrail. Hints and tips?

    Always do this, often it is generic crap you get back that is of no use but if you think there is a chance you will go for a job with the same company again defo do it, shows your extra keen.

    Thanks for the info, seems unbelievable they have 314s sitting around and don't double some of the evening peaks. The 18.07 to Neilston must be the most packed train that leaves Central.

    How many units do you think the Paisley Canal line needs? I don't want 318s on the Circle lines, 314's are better for busy trains cause they have loads of standing room. Off topic but on Thursday there was a 320 on Platform 8 of Central around 9.15, what had that been up to? Very rarely see...

    Favourite Railway Journey

    Denver - San Francisco Took about 50 hours in total, great views through the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada, big comfy seats, viewing car, quality.

    Where are these spare 314s for Paisley Canal? Are they not only used on the Neilston/Circle/Newton services? Sending some to Paisley Canal will have an impact on these services surely? I like the frequency of those trains and hope they aren't cut because frankly they are all needed. I fail...

    Ban on alcohol on Scotrail between 9PM and 10AM

    Isn't the last train home, particularly on weekends, there to get drunk people home, if you don't let them on trins your going to end up with hundred of disgruntled ****heads milling around Queen St and Central. Also, what exactly are they targetting here? The rowdiest trains are the last...

    Rail Tour at Pollockshields West

    A West Highland Railways double loco pulling various old carriages with a lot of passengers some with their heads out the windows just went passed me at Pollockshields West, what is it and why is it here and where is it going? Seems like the most unlikely route ever, a bog standard commuter line...
