The strike will cover services in and out of glasgow queen street on the conductor lines.

All services via central, central LL, queen st LL, (basically the driver only trains) should be unaffected as we werent balloted, altho not sure about central conductors, but i don think they were either.

The strike at the end of the day has shit all to do with who opens/closes the doors, the conductors are pissed off as the TEs will be getting the fares instead of them. TITS

Is that a euphemism for 'pocketing'?

Coming home on the train last night and two wee drunken yobs decide that they wanted to start wrecking the train. When I challenged them they just could not give a jot. One thing that really annoyed me was that other men on the train just sat about like wee scared kittens not saying a word. When the train stopped every one of these men scarperd . Even if these two wee druken shits did have a weapon on them I could have lit a fag by the time it would have taken them to get it out . :x
Thank you. And why not.

What do you mean the train is canceled due to snow on the line?
