I've been enjoying travelling on some of the repowers, the seating feels especially comfortable!
Two buses I took today had a scrolling screen with the date, time and West of England v. 2.something.
Will these fall into the usual First Glasgow position of bring neglected?
Sorry, as someone that lives in Glasgow and has done for the majority of my life, I can very much tell you it is.
The west of Scotland is still brightened by sectarian issues, whilst things have improved, the inclusion of the union flag colours would be best avoided.
For those unaware, the...
I had my first listen of the new automated announcements earlier - they are good.
The sound is generally quite clear, despite the noise of the Subway. It is also nice to hear what side that doors will open at the next stop - the passengers around me were especially impressed with the left/right...
I personally think that seat reservations should be limited to long distance trains only. They are otherwise a pain because they create unnecessary conflict. A few points from me:
Look at the many examples of where seat reservations are not displayed and there are inconsistencies in what...

Takno, I was wondering if you were aware of issues with the route indicators around Glasgow?

I get the same issue. I wonder if a forum software update has rendered some of the links inoperable at some point?

I have found there is a bit of a lag in Safari on MacOS when first going to the homepage. For a couple of seconds, nothing is clickable until the Cloudflare box appears. Chrome seems OK though.
You claim from LNER (https://www.lner.co.uk/support/delay-repay/). If your original scheduled arrival was 18:21, then any delay repay is claimed on the lateness relative to that time.
The Android version is no longer updated. The November 2025 digital edition was the last one to be uploaded.
It looks like they've moved to a PDF model for the digital editions. Which in my view is better, as the app wasn't the best.
Yet another issue is being reported today with the MV Loch Seaforth:

I certainly wouldn't want to be working in the PR unit of CalMac/XML at the moment!
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
