    ScotRail Industrial Relations issues (including conductor strike action)

    Is it just me that's noticed cancellations due to train crew issues seem to be more widespread on Saturdays compared to the rest of the week? It's never been this bad before, but it seems to be significantly impacting the DOO routes around Glasgow.

    First Greater Glasgow

    First Glasgow need to hurry up with the night buses. Was out in Glasgow last night and had to wait ages for a taxi to Shawlands because there was no N38.

    GP Surgeries - What is your experience like?

    I do think some GP's are much behind the times when it comes to not offering many online services. I'm considering switching my GP to another one down the road for me, which allows appointments to be booked in advance as well as an eConsult service. My current one makes everyone phone up at...

    GP Surgeries - What is your experience like?

    This is my main issue, the dastardly phones. In total today it took me around 300 redials and 3 hours of trying before eventually giving up. My surgery makes everyone phone up at 8:30am. Part of me was genuinely considering going to the hospital to get my issue looked at, but no doubt I'd end...

    Stagecoach Takeover Discussion

    If this goes through, it will definitely be huge. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of the operations, including the likes of National Express (coaches) and Megabus.

    GP Surgeries - What is your experience like?

    Hi, I'm curious as to how good an experience forum members have had with GP surgeries. Mines has been relatively good even throughout the pandemic, that's if I can get through to get an appointment. Does anyone else struggle to actually get through to the Receptionist let alone get an...

    British Rail passenger information systems (PIS) / platform displays

    On those CRT screens. I believe one of the last surviving examples was at Prestwick International Airport. They lasted until at least 2017/18 when they started getting replaced by screens similar to the new ones on Greater Anglia.

    New Defence Pact between the UK, USA and Australia

    In a way, the whole thing with China and Taiwan reminds me of the years old issue between the United States and Cuba, with the back and forth between and the accusations towards the US of being cruel towards the people of Cuba. It does show, countries may have different values but there are...

    Scottish Citylink

    I've noticed that Scottish Citylink is starting a new service from September 27th, service 618 from Edinburgh to Blackpool via Glasgow. Isn't it a bit late in the season to start a service to Blackpool, or are they catering for the illuminations and October break? Also, since it originates in...

    Avanti West Coast: Standard Premium

    Aren't the two seats by the TM's office normally reserved for staff in most cases anyway?

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    Can anyone shed some light onto how useful Gogarburn tram stop actually is? I know it serves the Bank of Scotland HQ, but there’s nothing else around it. Must be the least used on the network?

    Easing of Coronavirus restrictions in Scotland

    I stopped by Edinburgh Airport today and the easyJet line was massive. Everybody was masked up. It looks like people are just getting on with it here.

    New Defence Pact between the UK, USA and Australia

    Very true. I should probably stop reading what the likes of Owen Jones is tweeting about a new cold war, as are tons of other columnists. You’d think theyd want a blasted war.

    New Defence Pact between the UK, USA and Australia

    Ultimately what do we think is going to come of this? I do think the West should be cautious when it comes to testing China, nobody wants a full blown war. But I do feel Taiwan may become a battleground of sorts, given China conducting exercises in their airspace and with the US being an ally...

    Avanti West Coast: Standard Premium

    The mid-morning and afternoon trains are normally the busiest of the lot. I’m assuming they are talking about the 20:10 Glasgow to Crewe service which has always carted fresh air.

    New Defence Pact between the UK, USA and Australia

    New Defence Pact between the UK, USA and Australia

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-58564837 This seems a little bit out of the blue given how quiet things have been with China recently (at least in my book). Of course people seem to be misunderstanding the nuclear-powered submarine as they think it means nuclear weapons. What is everyones...

    I've had it pass through twice, but not with a smile.
