@JamTarts @OFX Already a season ticket holder so it would be my friends Chris and Jamie who have travelled all over Europe following Hearts but now live a bit too far from Tynecastle for season tickets.

@AvantiWestCoast 5.30pm train out of Euston. Stopped outside Preston just after 7.30pm. Got us to Preston. Now 12.30am, your staff haven't done the basics of working out how many people are going to each destination.

#ActiveEveryDay | "I love exercising outdoors. Scotland is a beautiful country, even our cities have lovely green spaces."

@MareeToddMSP tells us why she likes to stay active outdoors. How are you staying active this January?

First Minister John Swinney today opened a new sports hub which will help people from South Asian communities get active.

The Awaz hub in Glasgow will help to tackle inactivity and social isolation in the Pollokshields area.
