    Put your ticket in ticket barrier, some guy hops in front..

    and goes through the barriers and the gate shuts. How infuriating is this? Hasn't actually happened to me, but I've witnessed it a lot with other people at Glasgow Central. Bit of a scummy thing to do, if you ask me. How can you prove some guy has jumped in front of you if you've used...

    Hi! Was on the 9:18am train from Bellgrove to Balloch in Scotland today and the train had to stop at Queen Street Low Level due to somebody taking ill after taking a fit.

    How can Scotrail not be liable if bike gets stolen?

    Probably just thinking out loud. I live in Scotland. Take, for example, Bridgeton Station, cycle park facilities are right next to the place where you buy tickets. Say somebody brings out some bolt-cutters and steals your bike, surely the Scotrail employee should perk up and challenge them as...

    Running Between Stations on the Line - What would happen?

    Not planning on this, just interested. Say you are at a remote Glasgow station and you suddenly decide to jump on the tracks at a quiet time, what would happen? How long would it take the CCTV's to spot you and phone the police on you? Would anything happen when you stepped on the lines up...

    Can you good people settle an argument here please? Do the on-board Scotrail ticket sellers take a commission? Say, for example, ticket inspector leaves at Dalmuir and he has collected £100 from the people on-board, does he take a (legal) cut of that for himself? Thanks!
