@ScotRail Hey ScotRail, the "kids for a quid" tickets aren't available from machines - does this mean they can no longer be used unless you are traveling from a station with a ticket office?
@ScotCitylink It was kinda clear in my first message I think, John? Your app didn't give me any tickets after I ordered, but charged me three times, and I'd like to know how to get a refund?
@ScotCitylink hey Citylink - I'm trying to buy tickets from your app, but every time I hit confirm it bounces back to the homepage and says I've nothing booked. Tried it a few times, checked bank and I've been charged each time. Not had any emails? Can I get ticket or refund?
@FraserNelson This is a bloody brilliant, albeit terrifying, analysis of the 2020's economics. If anyone wants me, I'll be hiding under my bed for the next couple of decades...
@FraserNelson@thetimes Great move from @thetimes ... what an excellent replacement for Matthew Parris on a Saturday. Really looking forward to reading, and probably sometimes disagreeing with, Fraser each week!
@ScotRail @Jacko1120 Thanks for the reply Hayley. That's very interesting to learn.
I know bus drivers would refuse to let more people on after a certain point - hadn't realised that trains didn't have similar rules.
@ScotRail @Jacko1120 Out of interest, how busy does a train need to get before these monitors decide it's "not safe" to run?
Do carriages have capacity limits? I've never seen anyone out counting people?
@ScotRail my train was absurdly overcrowded again this morning. If it needed to brake suddenly it could have caused serious injuries. Really feel for people with disabilities who, I assume, can't travel atm.
When is the temporary timetable going to end?
@GMacdonaldSNP@FionaHyslop I find it absolutely astonishing that you're boasting about ScotRail's performance at a time when the temporary timetable is heaping misery on commuters - and prices are about to be hiked up. Shockingly out of touch. π
@FionaHyslop Hi Fiona, is there any update on how pay negotiations with ScotRail staff are progressing? I know you're probably very busy trying to hammer out a deal - but would be good if you could update us suffering and squashed commuters that problems are nearing an end?

@ClareFKing@hugorifkind@rufous@miriam_cates Surely there must be some place where we could teach kids responsible use of devices and the internet. Prepare them for modern work (which will almost certainly involve connected devices), BUT educate them so they avoid the dangers too?
Somewhere like a, you know, school!?
@DavidNWriter This is a bloody good article, David.
"I struggle to understand how there can be 15 years between Love Me Do and the Sex Pistols, but nearly 30 years since the release of Common People". Gulp.
@ScotRail@Malwina_Ch I was on that train too. The driver stopped, blasted the horn, then drove off again. If it was unsafe to let us out for some reason, fair enough, but would've been nice to get an announcement?
