Absolutely. I think the majority of people would say that this is clearly wrong - Network rail should never be shown to preaching any religious texts. Why can't they just say 'We wish a happy Ramadan' or something like that?

This kind of thing is really depressing. All too often rail staff are rude and unhelpful, and it's a shame because they ruin the reputation of the whole industry. Why do some rail staff feel like they can make up their own rules?

But there will be far more people visiting, and plus a lot more stations with this problem along the line. Accross Scotland there must be many stations where people have this problem.

Absolutely, otherwise it's a really unfair disadvantage.

Whilst obviously there's always the possibility that they won't, I have always found the conductors and staff on the West Highland line extremely friendly and helpful. If you show your booking confirmation and explain the situation, I would be very surprised if they didn't just let you off. I...

Absolutely. After the Merseyrail case, I'm amazed incidents like this one don't happen more often!

My position isn't really any different from the UK government, or that of Labour. Israel is entitled to defend itself and try and rid the world of Hamas, but must do it's best to limit civilian casualties while doing so!

I ultimately support the actions to get rid of Hamas, who are trying to kill every single Jew around the world, as well as much more if they had the chance. As to every single point of action, it's hard to know from the sofa of my home, and I'm not going to be an armchair expert on modern...

Unfortunately it's a war, and a war that Hamas started. Wars are awful, but at least Israel tries to limit it's impact on civilians....

Another fantastic example of our consumer friendly railway!

I agree. Netanyahu has been such a disaster for Israel, and now both he Palestinians and Israeli citizens will suffer further thanks to his overreaction. Israel is entirely entitled to take out Hamas. However, some of the language coming out of the ministers and army leaders is turning a lot...

Comparing Israel to the Nazis? I'm sorry, that's completely absurd. All Israel has ever sought is to exist. Unfortunately, in order to stay in existence, it has to to fight against it's enemies that surround it, many times. Now, you can disagree on it's methods, but to compare it to the Nazis...

I don't think lifting the blockade on Gaza would help, especially judging from what's just happened. I do agree r.e the settlements.

Yeah, it's just heartbreaking. Whilst I am generally pro Israel, I just find it awful how there's just no end to the conflict. I think peace was so close in the late 90s and early 00s but now it just seems so far away. The Palestinians are in an awful position, but also Israel is in a constant...

Let's change things a bit. If you were Israel, what would you do to solve the wider conflict? It's easy to criticise but harder to actually come up with a solution. Israel has tried to resolve things in the past but got nowhere, and I think now has given up.
