    This afternoon at Glasgow Central I saw on the departure screen this message and wondered why it was posted when there are no trams in Glasgow? I am very puzzled. I attach a photo of the departure board in question.

    Edinburgh trams 'fine' (known as "standard fare")

    I have a Scottish blind persons concession card and I understand from the Edinburgh trams website that this is valid on trams.

She was very confused when informed she could speak to other passengers but not on a mobile...
