    Disabled traveller advice

    As someone who travels with a wheelchair bound person, we have found it easier since we gave up with the Passenger Assistance bookings and started just turning up for trains (still giving the ScotRail recommended 15 minutes before departure but) It's not so bad for us as we normally travel from...

    Railway embankments as rubbish tips

    Unless it was the Local Authority doing the fly-tipping why would the bill be sent to them? Surely it should be sent to the person doing the fly-tipping?

    Delay Repay - cheque/cash compensation

    ScotRail still send you RTV's, no option to claim a cheque on web form, instead they want you to go to any staffed ticket office within 28 days to exchange it for cash

    Delay Repay - voucher values

    Not necessarily, in my experience you get a bunch of vouchers for random amounts to make up the total Delay Repay you are entitled to.

    Too many bikes on train

    The same for any car park at a train station, you are responsible. And there will be signs saying as such. CCTV will merely be to give the appearance of being safe, and to assist BTP if there are any thefts.

    Too many bikes on train

    As far as I know we don't have Penalty Fare's up here in Scotland at all, we seem to have hardly any power to deal with fare evaders either.

    Too many bikes on train

    Unfortunately the services im thinking about do have dedicated cycle storage, but that means walking down to the next carriage

    Too many bikes on train

    There is currently an ongoing "thing" up my way because the new Class 385's will only have two spaces for bikes on the main Edinburgh-Glasgow route. But its not an issue because cyclists just use the wheelchair spaces then refuse to move their junk when a wheelchair boards.

    Scotrail Smartcards

    I know when I used the ScotRail smartcard it took a good five or six seconds for the TE's machine to validate it. Dont know what the problem was, but I hope that gets fixed, imagine it taking that long for everyone on the train

    Trivia - Rail Replacement Buses or diversions that are quicker than the normal route

    If theres problems on the Ayrshire Coast Line, ScotRail sometimes run direct RRB's between Prestwick International Airport and Glasgow Central, a lot quicker that the the X77 and about 10 minutes quicker than the AYR-GLC stoppers.

    Former LM Class 321s to Scotrail

    I was one 320412 today, and what appeared to be a new CIS system had been installed. However, there is some debate on facebook as whether it is new or not. It certainly appears to be newer that the rest of the systems on the train, but I am told that it is the existing LM CIS, which is being...

    Motherwell Level Crossing

    That would explain it, never passed it as they were lowering. Still, not ideal for those hearing-impaired, no visual warning

    Motherwell Level Crossing

    But that still doesnt explain how pedestrians know the barriers are about to come down, I've never heard an alarm when I've went past it with the barriers down, and we wouldnt be able to see the traffic signals
