Guest Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I was away for the weekend with some mates and one of the boys failed a lateral flow yesterday so booked a test straight away. Currently waiting for his results. Rather worrying personally as meant to be away on holiday this weekend. He developed symptoms yesterday so according to gov.Uk, a contact is someone who has been in contact with them 2 days prior to the symptoms developing and then 10 days after. I wasn’t in close contact with him on Sunday so i am thinking I would be ok. Bit of a nightmare/minefield If you test negative just go on your holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm in any way endorsing the sentiment of the tweet, but the Scotrail Twitter feed is full of reminders on what the rules are relating to things like mask wearing and consumption of alcohol after 9pm. The minute anyone asks them how they intend to enforce these rules, they respond with "this is nothing to do with us, you'll have to contact BTP". As much a bunch of wet wipes as Mr Marwick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Who was that chump the other day telling us Australia is amazing? I predicted this rather obvious chain of events months ago. Remember when Sridhar and her ilk were threatening winter lockdowns here for not having infection rates low enough? That worked out well again for one of her poster boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what your point is? Scotrail have a moral responsibility and most likely also a legal obligation to inform people of these rules, but their staff are not the police and it is not their job to enforce it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is simply informing people of the rules enough though (and I'm not saying it isn't). Are there other practical and potentially reasonable measures they could take? Even if they couldn't give a monkeys about the customers they have staff on those trains so they have to take steps to protect them as well as other employers have had to do. Agree on enforcement. If it's a legal thing then BTP should be enforcing it. If people really feel so up in arms about this there are posters all over trains with the number to text BTP on instead of tweeting Scotrail. I'd guess that would be a step too far for most who just want to join in the faux outrage on social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotRail set their own wee tinpot rules (the alcohol ban after 9pm; now a blanket ban 'cos Covid') so if they're not interested in enforcing them then they can get them all in the bin*. The BTP do not exist to help Scotrail impose their gubbins regulations on passengers. *the correct solution 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The BTP have 213 officers to cover the whole of Scotland 24/7. There's not a chance of enforcing mask wearing without public cooperation, like nearly all the Covid regulations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they should be dealing with assaults or wee bampots smashing up stations rather than acting as some pathetic social distancing/mask/alcohol nannying service. If the rules are unenforceable then they should be thrown in the bin and the OCD weirdos left to get on with it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) We were advised yesterday that when we we arrived at the stadium we must sit in our allocated seat and must wear a mask whilst in the stadium. Very few people followed this and not a thing was done. They can take their daft rules and fire them into the bin. Also no food kiosks open to avoid queuing, so it's fine to queue to get in and out of the ground or go for a piss but not if you want a pie Edited July 21, 2021 by Bert Raccoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visit the cinema indoors you can queue to get in, queue to get as much food as you can carry/ afford and then once you're in your seat you can take your mask off. I swear the cinema lobby have some dirty on those in power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be delighted if I was wrong as I'd love to go to the cinema again but the thought of sitting with a mask on for hours has put me off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
