Scotrail ALWAYS wait until 3 minutes to go to announce boarding these trains despite the train having sat at the platform for anything up till 45 minutes till it is due to go. I suspect it is some sort of strange sport that they like to watch as passengers struggle to get on the train.<BR/>Luggage space? On trains that tourists will use? Get real Tom. The idea that trains can cope with anything above a small rucksack now is long gone and unless they put proper trains on these routes instead of glorified DMU's, it will never come back.<BR/>Seat reservations? Almost automatic, when you buy youe ticket, just never expect a Scotrail guard to help you out if someone is sitting in your seat.<BR/>All this sums up why, if you can, go by car!<BR/>RDRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
