@ScotRail The bins hadn’t been emptied either! Train arrived no clearing of full onboard bins at Central. Explain that? I watch the trains on other platforms have their bins emptied after each journey at central.
@Grazer10@ScotRail Erect air-tight glass and kevlar panels for all I give a fuck. Just let me scan a ticket on a sensor and get to fuck out of my way when I'm going to the graft.
@ProximateFlaws@ScotRail@mgshanks Aren't all tickets "pre-paid"?
And their job isn't to ensure "additional revenue", it's to ensure people have tickets to travel.
If going through a ticket barrier has made you late for your shift then you need to get an earlier train.
@ProximateFlaws@ScotRail@mgshanks I’d rather see tickets being checked. However, it puzzles me at Partick why there’s not ticket barriers instead of up to six staff.
Not sure if it’s to do with SPT running the station, rather than ScotRail
@ScotRail 3x inspectors checking pre-paid tickets is a gross waste of taxpayer funds. What additional revenue did it bring? Scotrail needs to get with the times or face collapse.
Your needless actions would have made me late for my shift. I'll be taking the car from here on.
@mgshanks
@ProximateFlaws Yeah, Peter, please arrive at the station in plenty of time to ensure you board your train - having your ticket inspected is a regular check people have to go through when travelling, it's nothing new/ ^DB
@ScotRail I arrived at the station 7 minutes before the train was due. Queues for checks - even though I had a ticket - meant I'd have missed it.
Am we expected to camp out overnight?
I know it's nothing new. Again, it's not 1995.
@ScotRail Pests checking tickets, making people miss trains and and stopping people getting to work.
Mine is on the app. Can't get through the barriers at Argyle Street without it. Made me stop and show them. I got a taxi instead at Rutherglen Main St.
This isn't 1995.
@celticCSL@TheFCA@LSEplc This is where you need to be careful so early in your journey.
I never called it a ponzi scheme, nor did I "allege" anything. I asked the FCA to conduct a Fair Value Assessment. I'm careful with my words. You should be too.
This allegation is wrong and needs correcting.
• CSL is not a regulated financial product.
• CSL does not sell investments, shares, or financial advice.
• CSL offers membership in a company limited by guarantee.
• Lifetime membership is optional and member requested.
• It confers no additional rights, no enhanced influence, and no financial return.
• One member. One vote. Written into the Articles.
There is no “fair value assessment” requirement because nothing is being sold other than membership on clearly stated terms. The price reflects a voluntary one-off contribution chosen by the member. Monthly and annual options remain available on identical rights.
CSL does not affect Celtic PLC share value. CSL does not trade shares. CSL aggregates no voting control without individual consent. Proxy voting is optional and revocable at all times.
Calling this a Ponzi scheme is false. No returns exist. No redistribution exists. No incentive exists. No profits exist. Directors are unpaid. Assets are locked by Articles. Statutory accounts are filed. Members approve direction.
Regulators focus on misrepresentation, financial harm, and inducement. None apply here.
If anyone remains unclear, the Articles, accounts, and governance structure are public. Assertions to the contrary are opinion, not fact.
We will not engage further on claims already answered in law and in writing.
@celticCSL Hi, @TheFCA. Can you run a Fair Value Assessment on these proposals? Doesn't at all seem right to charge £5k over an unquanitfied period of time for no extra benefits vs other membership types. This business also impacts the share value of others, namely Celtic PLC @LSEplc
Lifetime membership is optional. Members asked for a one-off option rather than monthly or annual subscriptions, so CSL built it.
What you get:
1.CSL membership for life, with the same rights as every other member. One member, one vote.
2.Your contribution supports CSL share purchases and the basic running costs required to operate lawfully and credibly.
What you do not get:
1.Extra voting power. A higher contribution does not buy more influence.
2.Director pay or profit. Directors are unpaid.
3.Any loss of control of personal shares. Shares remain with the individual holder. Proxy voting stays a personal choice.
If lifetime membership is not right for you, monthly and annual options remain available. Same membership rights. Same mission.
@pedrok111 Thanks Peter. Odd that so many people would be saying it. Out of interest, when was the last game you were at? (And obviously you can tell me to mind my own business🍀)
Can we have another Q&A?
I'd like to ask if it's true that the guy who chaired the "collective" meeting the other night - the one where they came out afterwards and told fans to abandon MON and the players - never actually goes to Celtic games?
We’re keen to hear from you about the pedestrian-focused improvements that are to be trialled on Queen St / Ingram St early this year as part of Glasgow’s #PeopleFirstZone approach for the city centre.

@ScotRail Mount Florida Station. Check the cameras. Platform 1 signed as the delayed 9:03, turned up at platform 2.
Station manager on the phone the whole time whinging about football fans.
@ScotRail Can you tell the guy at Mount Florida to get off the phone, shut up about adherence to minutes silences, Hibs / Hearts fans and pay attention to what's going on? 10 people have missed the train to Central as the wrong platform was sign posted. Utter, utter farce.
