    Advance tickets and non working toilets

    In short, as long as you're not caught short, no toilet = some of the passengers inconvenienced, or even lack of convenienced. Whereas, no train = all of the passengers inconvenienced.

    Scotrail smart card ticket load delay

    One reason I've heard is that non season sales are stored and released in tranches every three hours. Whether that's true or not is anyone's guess.

    London -> Paris Bought 1st class but tix say Standard Plus

    It helps if you know the background & history behind the naming conventions. A few years back there was a backlash against public officials travelling "first" on expenses. To rectify this issue many transport undertakings rebranded certain first class products as enhanced standard class. As this...

    Avanti Superfare - Missed Train Due to Underground and Southern Delays

    Academic now, but did you think about East Croydon to St. Pancras for the hoof along Euston Road to the eponymous terminal?

    Ember: Electric coach service

    I passed an Ember bus in Bo'ness recently. What route would that have been? Public transport to & from Bo'ness is pretty woeful at present.

    Wearing a "railway uniform" to fare evade ?

    FOSS which doesn't mean Freedom Of the South of Scotland as I said to the two chancers I found on the wrong side of the Forth at Inverkeithing. I may even still have these rovers in my "bad boys & girls" box.

    Using my bus/rail pass after midnight when previous train cancelled?

    Scotrail Super Off-Peak

    The information provided via the hand held ticket machine clearly states that the ticket is NOT valid between 15:00 & 20:00 with no differentiation as to what direction the passenger might be travelling. That, as we know, is incorrect. But you can see where the confusion may stem from.

    Scottish Grand Tour pass vs. Edinburgh - Arisaig return

    I've never understood why that ferry was removed. Albeit I only used it rarely, it always seemed popular with tourists and locals alike. It provided a useful link.

    For some reason there's always been a steep premium for through tickets from Edinburgh to stations on the WHL.
