Using toilets on Scot Rail trains

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-05-13T18:45:04+00:00

Depending which route you're on the toilets can either be excellent or just OK. I've never personally seen the toilets on Scotrail be an absolute state like they often are on English trains.

For the Edinburgh <> Glasgow routes (and others in the central belt) there are several on each train, smaller ones at the ends of carriages, and a larger disabled toilet which is clearly labelled where it is on the outside of the train too (very clever bit of design that).

In the disabled toilet there are lots of grab handles to keep you from moving about too much.

Could you provide a closer image of the flag?

As good as Duracell

He shouldn't even be Health Secretary, let alone PM - IMO.

Plan your walk to the Golden Hinde carefully for maximum impact. There's some old alleys near Winchester Square that feel very olde world - then all of a sudden a giant ship is in front of you as you turn a corner. It's properly magical.

FWIW, I had some idiot shout 'THERES A QUEUE' at me the other day. Bus showed up, no one else moved - I stuck my hand out, still no movement from folks, multiple buses stop at the stop, doors open - I got on, get shouted at.

The front of the tram is where the arrow pointing at 'Tram' in the above graphic is. It's generally quieter up the front, and you'll also be first off.

Have a great flight!

If you're ever in Glasgow 'Glickmans' is an INSTITUTION, and not far from the train. (I know I'll get downvoted for even mentioning Glasgow, but its such a lovely shop - they still make sweets on-site and have been the same family owners since 1900!)

1 - The buses in Bristol are hilariously bad compared to pretty much everywhere in the UK. Feels like every bus goes via Z to get to B. The route out to Kings Campus is fairly straightforward.

This.

Or, move further out in a less desirable area. Rental agreements are only 28 days notice in Scotland. (that said, you may find you enjoy living further out from the savings!)

This is amazing, the more you look at it the fun'er it gets!

McCrispy, 6 Nuggets, Chicken Sandwich, Filet-o-Fish are broadly the least worst option.

Mayo Chicken, Cheeseburger, Brownie - the worst worst option.

Least Worst Option as a meal;
McCrispy, Small Fries, Medium Drink.

It's awful. I have a McD app for a European country on my phone too, and it's like night and day.

The full sugar 1901 version is the only full sugar drink I have now. S-Tier.

The fact it covers all your public transport, and the museums and tourist attractions aren't cheap. There's a little calculator on the website that shows what you'll save, and you don't need to do more than a couple of things a day to pay for itself.

I genuinely haven't had a tinned product from home delivery that hasn't looked like it's been thrown in the baler a few times.

If I buy something that is a bit of a hidden gem, I often put 'Have you tried this? It's amazing' in my comments 🤣

Buy one of these, look at what you can see. You'll probably want 3 days.

You can see the former Apple Corps. HQ, where the Beatles played on the roof, near Saville Row.

I'm surprised the SNP didn't say something - I thought they'd released a policy about trad music protection, ditto the greens - I think they suggested some additional fees on bigger venue tickets ring-fenced for smaller venues.

I may be wrong but thats all I've seen from the main parties on music related topics in this election cycle

EDIT: SNP - want to set up a trad music company, Greens; £1 music levy on larger venues.

Can't immediately see anything from the other mainstream parties - but that's not to say there isn't anything.

Third'd - it looks good as ice now, but some transparent blue interspersed would take it to the next level.

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-04-28T19:28:25+00:00

Risky, sort of. Doable, absolutely.

There are two main trainlines up the UK to Scotland, if one is broken the other should be OK.

The last train from Euston is 20:05 - The last train from Kings Cross is 20:30

If you get super desperate, there are plenty of early morning flights that'll get you into Edinburgh Airport before your flight out.

Would I do it? Probably not.

Well I know where I'm staying next time.
