Hey Lothian Broadband you’re not the first to bring full fibre broadband to Kinghorn - we’ve had it from Zen Internet since 2018. Appreciate yours is faster and symmetric, but are you seriously going to dig up our road again when we already have a FFTP network on our estate?

Dear The City of Edinburgh Council not sure how much taxpayer money you invested in these bp pulse chargers at Ingliston Park and Ride, but you were ripped off. At the third charger and with a fourteen minute call to ChargePlace Scotland I finally got a charge started.

Hey, not sure whether it is Fife Council who approved the plan or SP Energy Networks who own the power pole, but can someone sort out the rusty barbed wire wrapped pole and cable in the middle of the new children’s playground behind Birch Avenue in Kinghorn? The Fife Free Press

Top tip, make sure you get the right ScotRail smart card number when you buy a ticket, as it seems really difficult to change. Got a new smart card, accidentally set it to load a ticket to the old card, can’t change online, two attempts by customer service haven’t worked either.

Hey ScotRail - first time travelling on an off peak all day smartcard ticket and your platform validators came up “not valid” when I tried to tap in for a former peak time train. Guy in the ticket office not able to help.

So martin geissler has come out with the really common daylight savings is because of farmers myth on #gms which reminds me of this hilarious Last Week Tonight segment on what a complete waste of time the whole process is. youtu.be/br0NW9ufUUw?si…

Hi ScotRail do you have any idea when the broken smart card readers on Kinghorn station will be fixed, not working at all on the Edinburgh platform or by the ticket office, and the one by the Kirkcaldy bound platform is rejecting off peak all day tickets in peak times still.

Hey Citymapper is there any way to correct the app when it has you on the wrong train - currently thinks I’m on a slow train that hasn’t left Edinburgh yet, so is notifying me of stations were not stopping at!

Urgh, a ScotRail special this morning. The 7:44 to Waverley was short formed anyway due to a breakdown, but what turned up had one of the three carriages out of service because the heating in the middle coach of 170430 had failed. 🥶

So the ScotRail score this morning, with 170408 and 170409 on the service to Waverley, coaches six, coaches out of service for some reason two.

Hey SGN hats off to your engineer for getting this far, but you really need to send someone in a 4x4 to work down here on the pressure reduction station - he’s either reversing ½ mile or taking on the steepest and muddiest part of the track to go out forwards!

I’m not sure how much The City of Edinburgh Council spent on getting bp pulse to install the useless chargers at Ingliston Park and Ride, but surely after years they could either get them working reliably, or just replace them with chargers that do.

Hey SP Energy Networks your temporary traffic lights on the B923 in Kinghorn have been broken since Saturday night, any chance you can get someone out to fix them?

Have been using iMazing by iMazing for years, but got switched to their new fixed number of devices pricing policy. Total pain - especially the hoops to change a phone after Apple have just replaced one of our phones under warranty and it’s referred to the sales team. 😡

Hey ScotRail - a quick bit of app feedback, just booked a ticket for an hours time in the app, the app says it can load onto a smartcard after five minutes, but it doesn’t offer a smartcard option for the ticket - I assume it’s applying the three hour limit for stations.

Dear GoPro, I’ll enter the code if you actually send me a code! Please add an option to use an Authenticator app so I’m not stuck locked out of the camera control app waiting for your SMS service to work!

Hey ScotRail, a weird smartcard quirk. I booked one of the £17 Club 50 tickets via the website, that all worked and turned up in my account on the app, but it just wouldn’t load onto the card via the app. Popped into the station and after a long “Updating” loaded onto the card.

Discovery today is that UPS can retrospectively change their tracking information. I’ve had one of two packages from Philips go missing, today after being delayed for days, the tracking information has been changed to claim it was delivered with the first package. 🤯

Hey Nationwide can I suggest that on your cards you maybe don’t put those raised dots directly lined up with the signature strip on the back? My signature is unrecognisable as a result of the six holes in the signature strip!
