    So we all know that Scotrail have never had a train run on time in the past month and that in general there time keeping and level of service is pretty poor, but the Last 24 hours has really been bad…..

    I commute from hamilton to glasgow on the argyle line and last night i get to anderston to get the train home to find out surprise surprise the train is late, then when we arrive a rutherglen it sits for 5 min….10 min…15 min (still no communication from the driver) 20 min THE DRIVER SPEAKS!!!! HES ALIVE!!! "due to technical problems this train will terminate here please leave the train" so thats me stuck in a part of town i dont know with no way to get home!!! anyway a long walk and 2 buses later i got home

    so this morning i arrive at the station for the 8.15 train…..its doesnt turn up!! the board says its ON TIME! next train 8.30…on time…DOESNT TURN UP! next train 8.45…on time according to the board…No Show!! and again no communication from station staff

    asked the ticket office to be told "we dont know mate all we do is sell tickets"

    I have been on the go since 7.30am and got to the office at 10.30 (had to dive in, all trains off)

    why are Scotrail so crap!!!

    I feel your pain, I ended up buying a car as I used Montrose to Arbroath as a part commute.It was so unreliable I had to get a train an hour earlier than I wanted to be sure one would turn up.But they claim 97.6% of their trains run on time,so I must just have been unlucky.

    duckman…Scotrail have a crap performance policy they say that the target is 99% of trains on time and they only call a train "late" is its over 10 mins away from scheduled time, they have a trigger point where is like me you have a season ticket you can get a refund but its somthing stupid like 88% of trains on time so you have no chance.

    We pay more than other countries have older rolling stock and have worse performance records
