Board at flag magnifies problems caused by slow payments. Flat fare contactless / Ridacard only must be worth a go. It works in London, and if the £2 flat fare is getting people out of their cars in England it might do the same in West Lothian.

Livingston South line goes back to 2tph in December, and Livi North was 4tph - only one train is missing from the morning peak. Trains aren't rammed, and it's much, much better than before electrification - and there's new links west. Livi North to Haymarket is under 20 mins. X24 from Livi...

I live in one of the schemes in Knightsridge. Of the 10 houses around me all bar one has at least one car. That's the key problem. The one that doesn't tends to use taxis. The 26 to the Centre is £3.25 single for a 2.5 mile journey as the crow flies, taxi is < £7. The McGills service is woeful...

An advance probably isn't but I can get itineraries for off peak and anytime from the Scotrail website via Edinburgh. You could take a copy of one of these in case someone challenged you, but I'd be surprised if you had any bother. Easier to change at Haymarket if you're not wanting to break...

They are indeed. Only First are running the X38. There are no Lothian or Lothian Country services in Kirkliston now.

It's not incorrect, "Dear Sirs" is dated and awkward. "Dear Southeastern" might be better.

You're thinking of joining a profession where trust, transparency and honesty are vitally important. The response from the university seems fair to me. The fact that you were honest to the ticket inspector is good, but the act itself was dishonest as you know. Your suggestion that if it doesn't...

Ian, if you're a member of a union at work talk to them about this right away. The NMC guidance is pretty straightforward: https://www.nmc.org.uk/ftp-library/understanding-fitness-to-practise/fitness-to-practise-allegations/criminal-convictions-and-cautions/ Not telling them and your...

LGBT folk do experience significant issues that non LGBT folk do not. LGB*T* is not just about sexuality. Hate crime is real and rose 5% in Scotland last year. Sadly we do still have some way to go. Respect and kindness is all that’s being asked here. I think it would have been better for the...

Understanding that people should be able to live without fear of discrimination should be really straightforward. The problem is not the Pride movement. Problems include hate crime increasing, people experiencing stigma, discrimination, continuing and significant inequalities etc. My first...

Hard to work out your commute. If it's Linlithgow to Edinburgh then by your own determination there will be lighter trains during the peak given that you seem to think everyone in Cumbernauld will continue to travel from Croy. If it's to Glasgow then you will generally have approx 15% more...

Once it's all settled in everyone has more reliable trains and in time they might tweak the timetable too. The new service will bring a lot more capacity to the network which is desperately needed. New trains which accelerate quicker, cleaner and greener, and hopefully don't break down quite so...

As a Strava user, it's a service for cyclists and runners - not for any other form of transport. It may well give you a good GPS trail, but be aware that you'll be rumbled pretty quickly. Not many runners or cyclists will manager over 40 mph for very long ... There are many other free apps...
