It's nice to see some on Twitter finding ways to blame SWT for the whole situation -_-

These new "Buy before you board" signage has been put up at a lot of stations, I saw them today, best one I saw was a huge one attached to the fence at Holytown. A station without any ticket buying facilities

And then you have ScotRail, who, due to Scots Law, rarely (have they ever, does anyone know) prosecute.

What are the time differences between using the scary red button and the not-so-scary yellow button to get a block put in place?

Not In Use is what comes if the platform validator is, well, not in use. So sounds like a problem with the validator to me

Already being discussed in this thread: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=121652&page=3

If it was a DOO service could have been out of view of the DOO cameras, if service had a conductor on (majority of service through Wester Hailes are conductor operated) they could have possible thought the child was with somebody else

I was assuming that the kid went down to the end of the platform and down the wee sloped bit to the track

http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2016/04/29/boy-3-ran-along-one-scotlands-busiest-train-tracks-half-mile/ Glad everything ended up ok without injury, but this incident shows the need to keep an eye on your kids while travelling. And yes this driver deserves a some sort of commendation Edit...

I saw a tweet not long ago claiming that the barriers were not yet connected to whatever system the Smartcard uses. Unfortunately I'm too lazy to look for the tweet as it was a week or two ago and could have been a load of rubbish for all i know

Never been on a service that missed a stop, but been on a Glasgow to Ayr service that additionally stopped at Newton-on-Ayr that wasnt scheduled to. It did confuse some passengers on the train who thought it was Ayr as no announcements were made

I was travelling a few Sundays ago and had the unfortunate luck to be on the same train as the Celtic fans going to Hampden for whatever cup match it was against Rangers. The amount of sectarian, vulgar language in use on that train was unbeleivable, and this was before the match. Somehow...

Well, on a service with a conductor or TE, most would have the feeling that something was out of the ordinary, and tried to contact the driver. When they didnt get a response they would head up to the cab and be in a position to help. It may not have changed the outcome, but at the same time it...

I dont think exempt would be the right word here, I think it would be better to describe it as a reasonable time to adjust their facilities to meet the DDA (now the Equality Act)

That wasn't a news article, that was something somebody hastily typed up on the Notes app on they're phone

For me theres a balance where I get to little information so that I cant understand like the feelings in a conversation, so for text chat I wouldnt be able easily to tell if someone was being sarcastic, bored, angry etc. At the other end for me if its a face to face conversation sometimes i...

As to the getting involved scenario, best not to in almost all cases. Unfortunately getting involved puts yourself at risk, TOC staff at risk, other passengers at risk, and the fare dodger at risk. The TE/conductor will be able to assess the situation better than a passenger, they may have...

For someone fare dodging? Good luck with that

Some people prefer actually speaking to someone over a text-based chat. As someone with Autism I find it difficult enough to communicate with someone when I only have their voice to go on, it's even more difficult with just some text on a screen
