This is probably more of a rhetorical question, but anyway. I was on a train today (won't name it) that had the absolute worst and rudest ticket examiner I have ever had the misfortune of coming across. He was just unbelievably rude to people. As a result, the passengers became a bit rowdy...

Hi there! Say, for example, I bought a Bellgrove to Balloch RETURN, would the ticket still be valid if I hopped off at Dalmuir and got another train to Balloch? An example.. I'm on the Springburn to Dalmuir train right? I buy a Bellgrove to Balloch RETURN on there. I get off at Dalmuir...

Glasgow Central, Queen Street, Partick, Charing Cross. Outwith those four, what do you guys think is the busiest railway station in Glasgow? Thanks a lot!

Anybody know what is happening with this? Horrendous delays this morning. Do you think it'll be the same tomorrow? Bellgrove was the busiest I've ever saw it around 9:30am. Thanks! (In Glasgow, Scotland)

..when I'm honest and want to actually pay for the journey I've had where I haven't encountered a ticket examiner? For example, Bellgrove - Partick, more than likely you won't see an examiner until past Partick, so I go up to the bloke at the counter (at Partick) and ask for a RETURN from...

..to Blairhill, missing out Bellgrove. Any reason as to why this happened at Queen Street? I noticed that a few old boys were trying to get off the train (when it was announced via the intercom), but by the time they got up, the train had started and was on its way. Two old boys were battering...

at Garscadden? I was on this today and when it got to Garscadden some guy ran on (he didn't look the full shilling to be honest, wore a yellow waist jacket, noticed that it didn't have any logo on the back of it) and said that everybody was to leave the train as it was terminating. Any idea...

Haven't used these. Are they what I'm thinking? The bus just goes to each train station on the original trains intended route, or does it hit every stop like a normal bus? Thanks a lot!

Hi there! This one is for our Glasgow readers. What trains go over the City Union Railway Bridge, which is around the Glasgow Green area? I saw one going along it a few days ago and that is the first one I've saw in years. Here is a link to the bridge...

Had a bit of a scary journey between Bridgeton and Glasgow Central today. There must have been some sort of cycling carry-on happening in Glasgow Green, so tons of people had their bikes with them on the train. I was crushed up against the doors and these two cyclists wouldn't move their bikes...

Sorry about the confusing title there. What I'm basically looking for is a site that allows me to check out what trains are going into Glasgow Central and Glasgow Queen Street at 9am tomorrow. Are there any sites that allow me to do this? Thanks a lot. This site is great.:wub:

Hi there! I like going places that are very scenic. Are there any decent places to go from Glasgow Central that are like that but under a tenner? I need some ideas from you guys. Thanks a lot!

Could that scenario happen on the British lines? Two criminals escape from a high-security prison and hitch a ride on a train. Unfortunately, the train driver has a heart attack and falls out of his cabin onto the ground. The train is stuck on "Speed: HIGH" with no brakes for hundreds of...

Tried to get a train this (Sunday) morning around 9am and it seems that all trains are cancelled both ways (on the train computer screen thing). Any idea what was happening? Bellgrove in Glasgow. Thanks a lot!

Didn't know a particular good title, but how often do you Ticket Inspectors get this? I was on the train from Balloch to Bellgrove today (at some random time, don't want to get anybody into trouble) and in just one carriage there were SIX people spinning the "I left my wallet at home guv...

Came back from a visit to Bowling in Scotland and was on my way to Bellgrove. I had to stand due to how busy the train was. Woman comes on with this gigantic bicycle. Oh I forgot, before she actually came onto the train she shouted as the doors were opening "Where is the help? I need help. Oi...

Hi there! According to the NR website, it'll give me a fare for the journey between Bridgeton and Ayr in Scotland. No Bridgeton trains go to Ayr, I'd have to get off at Glasgow Central and get a train from there. Just that the fare seems quite cheaper than what I used to do (ticket from...

This sounds nasty.. From the BBC... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-14530719 Is Coatbridge Sunnyside a "dodgy" station? Notice a lot of these crimes seen to happen around that particular area. ADDED: Already posted. Didn't know it was due to unclear other title.

From the Sunday Mail.. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2011/08/14/town-launches-campaign-to-save-ticket-seller-after-he-s-forced-out-for-crossing-train-line-86908-23344295/

Yeah, so I nearly had this happen to me a few days ago. Absolutely pouring down here in Glasgow and my ticket got absolutely soaking wet. Luckily I didn't have to go to a station that has those electronic barriers. Basically, I just want to ask, what happens if you've got a soaking wet...
