    scotrail - Luggage in the middle of the aisle

    I wish it could be possible le to give Zero stars…read more ScotRail is undoubtedly the worst train line in Europe (and believe me, we've experienced some bad ones). It all began with a slight delay and the staff's desperate attempts to push everyone onto the train regardless of their assigned seating. First Class was a complete joke. Not only were we forced to take seats not assigned to us, but there was also no place to store our luggage. As a result, everyone's baggage was left in the middle of the aisle, creating a huge safety hazard. Our section, First Class "A," had 9 seats. A service staff member came into the coach to offer drinks and food two and a half hours into a three-hour ride, clearly rushing the service. The tables were filthy and stained, and the coach itself was dirty and poorly maintained. The upper luggage rack rattled the entire way, which is ironic given that they promote the First Class coach as a "quiet coach." The complimentary WiFi was terrible, compounded by the fact that the charger plugs didn't work. The staff are careless and rude. You reserve a seat and are given a seat number, but the staff can't tell you which coach you should be in. Even the staff on board don't know which coach they are in or how the coach letters are organized.

    Bad enough service, but when you write to customer services it is even worse, four months to get…read moreany kind if response or apology, even the CEO is no better, an offer of £25 goodwill gesture is not what was needed, and understanding and genuine apology rather then excuses would have been far more welcomed. Booked seats, but carriage was closed, no seats, eventually was given a seat by a kind lady, only to be told to move trains to another platform, so lost it again! Unsafe definitely, packed like animals, (they get more space by law) no ability to see toilets let alone get to them, Scotrail should have paid me to suffer what I had to with them, and no one cares at Scotrail, £250 would not cover the pain suffered using what no one could ever call any kind of service.

    Well, a word to the wise, this may not be a totally impartial review as I'm local to this station…read more As in, walk to the bottom of my road, turn left and BOOM there it is. It's a nice little station, and it's handy. There's two basic services from here, to Glasgow and to Edinburgh every two hours. Both of these take approximately 45mins, which isn't bad at all. The last train from Edinburgh to Carstairs arrives at midnight - very good for the odd night out. There's also the sleeper service direct to London, which I've also used. Walk from my door, hop on a train, go to sleep and wake up in London! How good is that??? The station itself is very busy for through traffic, with pretty much every Glasgow and further north service heading south at speed through the station. Ideal if you have an anorak and thermos flask,,, The ticket office is manned in the morning, until about 2pm - after that, tickets are available on the trains. The village itself doesn't have much in the way of attractions if you're planning to visit - there's a primary school, a Londis (with a post office!), a hairdresser, a pub and a couple of haulage firms. Oh, and the State Mental Hospital, but I don't use that. Honest. *twitch* You can get a bus from the station into Lanark, which opens up New Lanark and the likes, so you could make a day of it that way. It's my station. I like it. So there.

    When considering my high points of 2009, undoubtedly in my top three is the opening of a kiosk in…read moreHyndland Train Station. Indeed the difference this has made to my quality of life has been astounding. No longer is there scrapping with fellow dreary commuters for the last Metro in the stand to brighten up the slog into work. Gone are the days of worrying about a quite colossal rumbling of the stomach interrupting a meeting, as I forget to have breakfast and leave myself with no options en route. And no more is the wait for the train enough to make you want to throw yourself in front of it, as time is spent reading the front covers of magazines I'd be too embarrassed to buy otherwise. And to be fair, Hyndland Train Station has always been one of the better ones on the local line circuit. Hidden just off Novar Drive, access to the station comes via a long tunnel which has been loudly decorated by the children of Hyndland Secondary School (all of whom must be hitting 40 soon, given the mural first appeared in the 80's). The people of Hyndland simply couldn't cope with the lack of facilities afforded to, for instance, the people of Yoker and Kilpatrick so needless to say there's a heated ticket office complete with a generous number of seats, both inside and outside. Proper seats as well, not those benches which resemble a football crossbar and ensure a numb backside for the length of your journey. The addition of a kiosk has unquestionably made Hyndland one of the best non-interchange stations on the line and if there's anywhere you are likely to see a commuter crack a smile, it's here. Still unlikely though.

    Hyndland station is a small, two-platform island station serving the Hyndland and Broomhill areas…read more It's the closest station to Gartnavel hospital. It's quite a busy station for such a small one and is served by all services on the Argyle Line and North Clyde Line. From here it's easy to get to the centre of Glasgow, Edinburgh Waverley (although via a slightly slower route and it may be better to change at Partick), Balloch, Dalmuir, Helensburgh, Milngavie, Hamilton and on and on. The station has a small, indoor waiting room on the platform as well as a few outdoor benches. The waiting room has a staffed ticket office but there's a machine as well for those hours when no staff are available. There's also a small coffee kiosk on the platform which sells coffee, tea, small snacks and newspapers. The underpass that leads to the station has a 45 meter long tiled mural with a train theme that was created by students at Hyndland secondary school in 1990.
