View ArticleComment on Six ways to get ScotRail sleeper bargain berth tickets by Lucy O
This is very tricky. I spent all day today refreshing every 5 minutes from 7am. At about 9.30 some tickets came out for £99 a berth instead of the standard £150, just about when Scotrail tweeted that...

Hi Simon and followers, Has anyone tried going to see their friendly local station manager on a friday morning and asking them to search for you? Or do you always have to book through Scotrail? I am...

Hi Lucy. I think they probably just went quickly, and of course it’s hard to find them because they are now amongst the other ones – please check the more up to date post linked at the top of this...

Hi Joe. The bargain berths are online only – folk in station offices will only be able to get the regular fares. How did you get on with hunting the FW BBs?

I just tried to book a berth on the website as there is a 30% sale but am travelling with my son who is a child. You can’t book for children on the website so can’t get the 30% discount. You also can’t...

That’s a real shame Rachel. It might be worth contacting Scotrail to let them know of your experience.

I wrote to you a few weeks back reminiscing about the dear old pre-digital days when you could phone Scotrail and book a bargain berth right there and then, if there was one. Now it is a nightmare –...

Glad it’s not only me who’s finding locating the bargain berths a nightmare! As with others, it used to be so simple – if you had a specific date you could use the ordinary booking system, if you had a...

Hi Lou, that’s amazing. What a great thing to do, well done! I can’t see their ruling online – do you know if the decision is final/published?

I happen to entirely agree with you here. As someone who is not heavily invested in politics, is this what the SNP are saying? And are they saying it loudly? I believe that the parallel of Britain and...
View ArticleComment on Scottish v British – the false choice by Simon Varwell
I think the SNP are making this point to an extent, and do often draw on Scandinavian or Nordic identity as a regional equivalent. Though I sense there is a slight tension in the party between a new...

I have to say though, again from a fairly non-involved stance, the two most common views (of Scottish people) from those against independence aren’t really about Scottish/British identity – I’ve almost...
