    Scotrail First/Abellio Job Query

    I was given a conditional offer of employment with Scotrail in November subject to background checks, disclosure and medical. Scotrail HR informed me these were all passed successfully in early December but that they were now waiting for a date for a training course. I'm still waiting as of...

    Scotrail Trainee Drivers (Ongoing)

    The company I worked for went bust, I didn't even get paid for the two weeks I worked in December! :( I was self employed doing work for a friend after being made redundant in March 2013 after 28 years continuous employment and couldn't seem to get a job. I'm 48 so think my age has been against...

    Medical for Govia/Thameslink/Great Northern

    I have a medical for Scotrail next week with Bupa and I assume it'll take the same format. I am a bit overweight however although because of my height it doesn't show too badly. I am working on it though and know after a couple of tests last year that my bloodwork is good, my lungs and heart are...

    Scotrail Franchise - Abellio

    Ah well I guess I won't be working for Scotrail then. I have passed a few stages for a job with them and was told the job was on hold at the moment but they would let me know when I would be going on to the next stage! I guess it was on hold because of the franchise decision. That'll be that...

    Commonwealth Games Glasgow

    Actually technically the Union flag is the national flag of nations competing in the games. It is the flag of the UK of which all the home nations are part of even if they are representing their home nations under their individual home nation flags! However the Yes campaign will continue to...

    Commonwealth Games Glasgow

    Grateful if you could point me to the facts covering the police and security harassing yes supporters as I've never heard any such thing! Sound like more nat rubbish which gets greater the closer we get to Sept! The Team GB helmets were used as they are very expensive and the owners were being...

    Unsafe example on Eurovision

    He wasn't trans gendered, he is a drag queen! Anyhoo he won because of the novelty not the music in my view which was awful. The real winners for me were The Netherlands as their song was really, really good! At least they were second!

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

    What's wrong with Mount Florida apart from days there's a football match or concert at Hampden?

    What will a No to independence vote mean for the SNP?

    Seen or heard absolutely no evidence of that whatsoever! People I know no matter what side they are on are just getting on as normal with perhaps nothing more than banter going between them!

    East Coast HST

    Glad you got one! Might be a good idea to call them every so often just in case they get more in! I have three of the four and hope to get the standard class at some point!

    East Coast HST

    I saw a few at rrp in the WHS/Modelzone in Glasgow a month or so ago! If you are near to one of the few of these branches that exist you could give them a go!

    BBC Documentary 'The Railways'

    I too enjoyed last nights episode but did wonder why no one from Scotrail was featured! Now I know! http://www.scotsman.com/news/transport/anger-as-scotrail-snubs-bbc-documentary-1-2846430

    BBC Documentary 'The Railways'

    Enjoyable episode last night. Living in Glasgow I was well surprised to see another orange walk in the country, I didn't know these type of people (being polite here) marched anywhere else! However I was most amazed at the damage caused to the Communications box in Wales I was literally stunned...
