Thanks for that. I had looked at their site....but not properly.

I seem to remember last year that there was an announcement by First Rail that from March this year the number of trains daily would double to six. Does anyone know if it is happening or was I dreaming about it?:D

This is the scenario that is possible and wish to avoid.:):cry: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I was under the assumption that they paid for reservations and were out of pocket. This puts a different light on things. At the risk of going off topic. Whilst travelling on the...

Asking them is an option but if they are being negligent in ticketing the seats then they might not want to "clarify" the position so I thought that posting here would get an impartial answer. I have heard the train driver announcing something about the arrangement of the seating being to blame...

I use this service a few times a year. When it leaves Glasgow at 10.12 reserved seats are sometimes not ticketed - a frequent occurrence - because the train arrives in at Glasgow late. I have sat in a seat and then at Perth someone boards and claims I am in their seat which they have reserved...

Other rail franchise operators have lost their franchise in the past for what many think is circumstances beyond their reasonable care. It seems in the last year or two complaints about First are on the rise and it would be nice to see where the threshold for losing theirs is? Also they have a...

That isn't the same as a guard. I was advised to look for one.

RPLs Do you mean persons that ask if you have a ticket?

Quote Sam Main apparently spotted that he did not have the correct ticket on the way into Edinburgh (whether that is true or not we will never know, but assuming it is...) Unquote A rather large assumption. You have based your whole post on this and painted him guilty? I am not in any...

Trains on the Strathclyde north routes don't have guards. Come to think about it I don't remember the last time I saw a guard any time that I have travelled in Scotland.

Quote We receive so many new posters on here (and elsewhere) expressing disbelief that ticketless rail travel is an offence which (in approp. circs.) carries a lifelong criminal record. Unquote At the risk of splitting hairs - and I am not a troll - there are times when travelling between...
