    Motherwell Level Crossing

    There's CCTV on the crossing itself: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.7982285,-4.0009164,3a,75y,294.77h,98.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sN6QNmG9WeMXcJ_aucqEudw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 But none at the lights themselves as far as I can see --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I don't know if...

    Motherwell Level Crossing

    Hi folks, The Level Crossing in Motherwell seems to be controlled by traffic lights rather than the normal 2 reds and a yellow signal. Is this common and does it happen anywhere else...

    Lost property collection fees

    Or... don't lose your item in the first place. Why should any TOC/Network Rail/business/individual have to look after something that you left lying somewhere. Now I know that people will naturally forget things are sitting on a table, next to them or wherever. I have done it myself, I left...

    "Ask the guard before boarding"

    Question, what is IRCAS?

    Plugs, electronic devices and trains

    All I know is the ticket examiner wasn't overly chuffed when he spotted her, they were having words when I left the train

    your post didn't make that clear

    Who's in the wrong?

    Let's not forget that all TOC's, all companies that have a customer facing role will have at least one person in their company like this. And it's not always a bad thing to have someone who is seen as "obnoxious" in your company, as they are always the best at dealing with customers who are...

    Reopening doors

    4tph does not always mean 15 minutes. For Example: Glasgow Central - Ayr services run like this throughout the day: xx00 xx04 xx30 xx34 Thats still a 26 minute wait if you miss the xx04 or xx34 service

    Bring back our travel centre!

    Similar issues at Motherwell station, where you can regularly be stuck behind someone booking long distance journeys on either Virgin Trains or CrossCountry at the only open ticket window.

    What to do when doors wont open

    As Neil Williams said in the post below you, I had started to exit the train before the doors had fully opened. I didnt consider reporting it as it was my own fault tbh

    What to do when doors wont open

    Had an issue on a 380 once, the door I was alighting from was in an open part of the station. It was also one of times we had the big storms up here a few years ago. Waiting to alight as normal, finger hovering over the open button. Train stops and door sounder sounds, all normal...

    Plugs, electronic devices and trains

    I once saw a woman on a class 380 using hair straighteners plugged into the passenger sockets. Just putting it out there cause no-one actually cares about who uses what type of phone or how successful they were

    "Dozy driver 'leaps off runaway train' - with passengers still on board"

    RTT (although it doesnt go as far back as the 14th), does show that two services just after 0800 today were both: Timed for 100mph max Diesel locomotive, trailing load 245 tonnes So I'm guessing so (That and it was a DRS driver)

    "Dozy driver 'leaps off runaway train' - with passengers still on board"

    I would have assumed that it's standard policy to make sure your train cant move or be moved before you ever leave the cab. I'm also assuming that the safety system in question that stopped the train was the dead mans switch (pedal?) in this case

    "Dozy driver 'leaps off runaway train' - with passengers still on board"

    Having read the article, is there not a better way for the driver to contact the guard in a situation like this? And wouldnt the guard have checked anyway whether the train was fully on the platform...

    New Digital CIS at Saltcoats

    It's like a fade and a slide in from the right side of the screen, but it's quick and smooth at least. It can get kind of confusing because four platforms at Motherwell, two used by many different services (ScotRail services to/from Lanark, Edinburgh, Anderston, Glasgow via Bellshill, via...

    New Digital CIS at Saltcoats

    I agree green would be better for on time, yellow for a delay and red for cancelled. Its an animation so each service slides onto the screen one after the other with the colour bar and then the on time/delayed pops out once all the services are on screen. Unfortunately I dont know who to...
