Alan Williams wrote in Modern Railways some years ago that on the 17.30 from Edinburgh to Glasgow, always crowded, Scotrail management staff on first class passes going home let themselves in through the guards door and occupied the best forward-facing window seats of the small amount of first class seats before the doors were opened for him and other passengers. Perhaps some may recall reading this.
Apparently in the days that followed publication there was an absolute prohibition from doing this which came from the top of Scotrail.
First class passes are handed out like confetti to anyone with manager in their title.....:roll: Its virtually only the staff on the ground that don't get them, Station staff, drivers and guards have to sit in std.
