Unless Scotrail are planning on surveying the public on all future management decision such as what the next driver payrise should be or what time the last train should be then why single this particular decision out?

I think we already know the answer to that question tbh. (And, the "survey") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) What the hell’s the point of public transportation/mass transit if you can’t get blootered and stagger to the bus stop/station to get home?

DA Baracus Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I'm planning on going down to Ayr at the end of the month but what's the deal with trains to the station at the moment? Do they still stop there or is there a bus replacement at some point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve started running trains to Ayr this week but you’ll need to change at Prestwick Town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) They had this on the phone in on radio Scotland the other day. One gnashing fuckwit actually said "if ye cannea go 30 minutes wi oot a drink then there's a problem with you." What about sitting down? What about the toilet,? If you can't go 30 minutes without doing them then surely there's something wrong with you?

It's the shitest logic in the world and you see it trotted out but with 90 minutes whenever beer at the football comes up. The EXACT same logic can be applied with the same level of stupidity to alcohol in any scenario, but for ease let's use a meal out as an example. I don’t order wine with a meal because I need to. I do it because I want to. Because I see it as part of my experience at that time and something I would enjoy. Only a fucking moron deploys that line tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Have Scotrail started locking all of the wee bins next to the carriage doors, or have I just been particularly unlucky in the past week? Also, the electronic boards at stations have gradually become useless over the past twenty years. Ten seconds telling you that one of the lifts at Lower Pishflaps station is out of order because of rain, ten seconds announcing that there'll be no trains next weekend because buses are more fun, another ten seconds asking you not to leave your bags kicking about like a moron, then a quick flash of the upcoming departures...oh, you missed that? Well, another thirty seconds staring at static announcements that should be on posters, I guess. Maybe you'll catch it next time. Hope your train doesn't leave before then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
