Once again ⁦@ScotRail⁩ shows their “commitment” to green travel and green commuters. With the cost increase, I might as well buy a car. Sorry I’m not a tourist with deep pockets (don’t think we missed that trick of a “3 month extension” in May). https://t.co/10h7WbwDly

Genuinely astonished that anyone could think this is remotely human, moral, ethical, or acceptable.

@checkpointchaz @LoisMBurke @EdinburghUP Amazing!! Congrats you two!

[Dr Emily Pickard @EmilyPickard9]

@ScotRail The 8:34 from Stirling to Edinburgh. As mentioned - kicking commuters off is not a solution nor should ever be an option, particularly with the high cost of tickets.

[Dr Emily Pickard @EmilyPickard9]

Ridiculous and unsafe.

@ScotRail - disappointing. If you want to encourage commuters and “eco-friendly travel” then get your act together and create more room for cyclists. Absolutely appalling. #cyclist #commuter #scotrail

[Dr Emily Pickard @EmilyPickard9]

@EdinburghLive_ @ScotRail Yup go ahead

[Dr Emily Pickard @EmilyPickard9]

@ScotRail To Edinburgh from Stirling. And it is this way most days. Shocking that you have one small space available for cyclists. Kicking commuters off is not the solution - we shouldn’t be paying to be made late to work because you haven’t equipped your services properly.

Losing languages, interpreting, and translation degrees at @aberdeenuni would mean a more insular, inward-looking, and culturally poorer Scotland. Sign the petition to save these degrees — https://t.co/J7uXHdyfJZ #CardtoKarl

My partner tried to book the SAD lamp today - it was full. Contrary to being disappointed, we’re thrilled. It shows that the library is a vital community service.
Make your voice heard - save our resources.

Dear Music Bro on the train,
If I have had to put my earphones back in to drown your music out and can STILL hear yours over mine, it’s too loud. And frankly it’s not a pleasant soundtrack for my commute.

“Books can afford to go against the current,[…]to challenge the status quo, in the hope that with time an audience will be found. The threat to such books and the ideas they contain[…]is a dangerous development not only for professional publishing, but for society as a whole.”

@Jack_Heitman Hiya,

All of our events are online except for book launches. These tend to be in the region from which the author writes, but it depends! We are looking to expand across Scotland, so just keep an eye out.

[Dr Emily Pickard @EmilyPickard9]

Sheffield Writers and Readers - don't miss the launch of Susan Clegg's debut novel, The Dolphin. This Saturday, La Biblioteka, 6:30pm. Wine and books available at the event!
