    Glasgow Central Upper Level Refurbishment

    Hi, I'm specifically referring to the upstairs section above the shops on the right as you face the departure boards. Upstairs used to have a bar on both sides with stair and lift access. This has been 'under refurbishment' for what seems like years now (maybe it is years) - has this been...

    FANTASY: You're in charge of refurbishing a train

    Class 158 in particular (but any train really) - replace the current tables with continental style ones where the sides fold into the middle.

    Scotrail Franchise - Abellio

    Regarding the scanning of the smartcards - generally I find the examiners on the train do scan the card (and sometimes the trolley staff as well for the club 50 water) but the yellow circle machines are very hit and miss. the automatic barriers always seem to work but the ones at stations with...

    Study to consider Borders Railway extension

    Carlisle was always unrealistic but I would argue that Hawick is required as a public service and that viability shouldn't enter into it. Unfortunately, in the 21st century, literally everything is down to money. Had today's attitudes prevailed in Victorian times then we would have no libraries...
