    What to do when doors wont open

    Yeah, I've did that a few times. Once the door is open, the driver won't go.

    Abellio Scotrail - 1 year on

    Still think it's really weird they have cut back the services to Uddingston. What's the deal with that?

    Worst route(s) in UK for anti-social behaviour

    Don't work in the industry, but I can't imagine the Saturday trains between Ayr and Glasgow Central are all sweetness and light. Regarding the first topic posts, the Balloch to Queen Street route is a nightmare even on a weekday. Bit between Balloch and Dumbarton East is where the trouble...

    Stations you don't want to go to/be at

    Newton is in the middle of nowhere too. Quite a scary place in the dark.

    Charing Cross (Glasgow) Staff

    Yeah, normally only 1 staff member on at busy times. It's a bit chaotic when you need a ticket to get through the gates if your train has arrived at Charing Cross. Grim, grim area too. Just grey everywhere.

    Watching sport from a train?

    Years ago, you could stop at Pollokshaws East (or West, can never remember) in Glasgow and look straight into Pollok FC Junior Football's stadium.

    Put your ticket in ticket barrier, some guy hops in front..

    You really need to command your space now. Always some joker willing to jump past you.

    Put your ticket in ticket barrier, some guy hops in front..

    You could put it in, some cheeky git runs around you and goes out. Same if you're disabled.

    Put your ticket in ticket barrier, some guy hops in front..

    and goes through the barriers and the gate shuts. How infuriating is this? Hasn't actually happened to me, but I've witnessed it a lot with other people at Glasgow Central. Bit of a scummy thing to do, if you ask me. How can you prove some guy has jumped in front of you if you've used...

    Person hit by train near Bowling (08/01/2014)

    Just seen this topic. Don't recall any level crossing on the route between Bowling and Dumbarton East. Railway line would be easy to get onto though, as it follows the cyclepath and the cyclepath is bloody empty in Winter.

    Hypothetical Glasgow Crossrail services

    How hell-ish would a "Glasgow Cross" station be? Full of winos and dossers. I do like the sound of a Paisley to Springburn service though.

    What is the work at Springburn station

    Also doing something at Barnhill Station behind the fences at Platform 1.

    Trains during Glasgow 2014 commonwealth games

    Trains are now stopping at Dalmarnock Station on a Sunday. After 10:30am, they stop at the station.

    Best view from a station platform

    I must be the only one that likes the view from Platform 1 of Crosshill Station in Glasgow. Lovely. Bowling is another one.

    Strangest looking passenger you have seen

    Guy with a legit horn kind of thing growing from his head boarding at Glasgow Central Low Level. He couldn't obviously help it, but it did look rather weird and scary.
