I recorded a podcast with @CahonasScotland about what it was like to have cancer.

It may feel a touch heavy just before Christmas, but ultimately it’s a story of faith, hope, and recovery.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the tragic derailment at Carmont, when we lost our colleagues Brett McCullough and Donald Dinnie, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury.

Our thoughts are with their friends, families, and everyone across the railway family affected by
the tragedy.

We will never forget.

Hi Carol,
There are no plans to close ticket offices (and staff hours across the network will remain the same as today). I’d be grateful if you updated your post.

[Carol Mochan MSP @CMochan]

We must stand against @ScotRail’s plans to close ticket offices and reduce hours with staff. They are a vital resource for so many - in particular people with disabilities and women at isolated stations. #StationsNeedStaff

Today on #InternationalDisabledPeoplesDay I am proud of the work @Tanni_GT @LordOrk @scotrail and I have done together to change the policy on the use of Scooters.

These changes will make the railway in Scotland more accessible to people who use scooters🎉.

Thanks for all the laughs. 💙

[David Ross @David_Ross86]

Hi Pauline, happy to catch up with you about this, but it’s not true to say we are closing ticket offices. No ticket offices are closing as part of this change. Hopefully you can update your post to reflect that.
