27 Pictures That Sum Up The Daily Struggles Of Using ScotRail

    When will the Scotfails end?

    1. When you get on board to find welcoming train-gifts.

    Beautiful train today @ScotRail ! And a used plaster on the seat opposite! #cleanliness #NotMyMess #ScotFail #sticky

    2. Or – even better – complimentary refreshments.

    @t_hom_as They've very kindly provided refreshments on the 1823 to Balloch :-) #ScotFail

    3. When you'd quite like to read your book or paper, but the driver is like: "LOL NOPE."

    I wonder if Abelio will turn the lights on when the train leaves central @ScotRail #Scotfail

    4. When someone hogs the almost-useless teeny tiny table so you can't put down your coffee.

    Not sure when this became acceptable @ScotRail #dogonthetable #onlyinglasgow @scotfail

    5. And someone else thinks: "Hey! I know what everyone would love to smell! My FEET."

    Nice shoes mate, ever tried them on? #ScotFail

    6. When you go to put your luggage in the rack, but it's full of carefully stacked children.

    Loads of seats left on this train… #Scotfail

    7. When you're trying to enjoy the comparative peace of first class, but get distracted by the '90s curtains.

    9. When you try to use a ticket barrier, but feel it's being slightly threatening towards you.

    10. When it's 8:30am and a fellow passenger's already had a few shandies.

    Some1 either started v early on the booze this morning or the cleaners were a bit sleepy & missed this...! @ScotRail

    11. When you're trying to use the Wi-Fi, but get trapped in a giant paradox instead.
