Rude staff. Dirty trains. Kids running wild on peripheral unmanned trains.

Bad enough service, but when you write to customer services it is even worse, four months to get any kind if response or apology, even the CEO is no better, an offer of £25 goodwill gesture is not what was needed, and understanding and genuine apology rather then excuses would have been far more welcomed Booked seats, but carriage was closed, no seats, eventually was given a seat by a kind lady, only to be told to move trains to another platform, so lost it again! Unsafe definitely, packed like animals, (they get more space by law) no ability to see toilets let alone get to them, Scotrail should have paid me to suffer what I had to with them, and no one cares at Scotrail, £250 would not cover the pain suffered using what no one could ever call any kind of service.

got on the train, bought a return ticket - put off at the very next station - as Scotrail decided to cancel the rest of the journey, no explanation given. I went directly to station office to request a refund - the guy at the station ticket office told us we had to apply for a refund via the website - website tells us to take tickets to the station for a refund, and so round and round this goes.

Oh my god avoid this "service" if you can. I have to use them daily for work so I know. They left a vulnerable adult stranded in an unfamiliar town during the "beast from the east" snow storm in early 2018. Could not have given less of a passing concern to his wellbeing. Refused to even consider the possibility of compensation for his 3 day ordeal. He was seeking the whopping great sum of £170 to cover part of the cost of having to stay in a hotel. A hotel which was 2 miles from where they abandoned him. Remember this was in blizzard conditions and involved him walking along a dual carriage way with almost zero visibility. Disgrace to the great nation of Scotland. Please ensure you all claim for any delays to your journeys. Its easy just google delay repay scotrail. A couple of minutes and you'll be done. If you're delayed by 30 minutes they have to compensate you. 2 hours and they have to refund the full cost of your ticket. Make their pockets hurt its the only language they understand.
