I love all films that start with rain: rain, braiding a windowpane or darkening a hung-out dress or streaming down her upturned face… —Don Paterson, “Rain” Published in RAIN (Faber, 2010) A poem for World Rain Day 🌧️ https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571251742-rain/ #Scottish #literature #poem #poetry #rain #WorldRainDay

Poets are Liars “if poetry genuinely is a truth-telling and poets truth-tellers, it seems important to demonstrate that what we do is falsifiable. What on earth would it mean to ‘lie’ in a poem?” —Don Paterson on poetry, philosophy, & lies https://northseapoets.substack.com/p/poets-are-liars #Scottish #literature #poetry #poetictruth #truth #DonPaterson #philosophy

“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks died #OTD, 9 June, 2013 https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/jun/15/iain-banks-the-final-interview #Scottish #literature #IainBanks #IainMBanks

🚌⚡🔋 First Bus has launched a UK-first trial using its electric bus depots to help balance the National Grid by changing when buses are charged. The scheme began at the #Glasgow depot and will expand to Great Yarmouth later this spring. By charging vehicles when excess renewable energy, particularly #Scottish wind power, is available, and reducing demand at peak times, the depots can help cut #renewable #energy curtailment and support a more flexible electricity network. The trial is being run with Optimo Energy, whose platform adjusts charging in response to live grid conditions while keeping buses ready for service. First Bus said the project could improve the efficiency of electrification, support grid stability and create new revenue opportunities through energy flexibility markets. https://news.firstbus.co.uk/news/first-bus-launches-uk-first-trial-to-support-national-grid-using-electric-bus-depots

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 More than 170 road safety projects are being delivered across #Scotland with over £14 million in #Scottish Government funding for 2025–26. The Road Safety Improvement Fund supports councils to introduce measures aimed at reducing accidents and improving safety on local roads. Schemes include junction upgrades, bend safety treatments with motorcycle-friendly barriers, improved road markings, pedestrian crossings, traffic calming and vehicle-activated signs. Some areas are also trialling new technology such as intelligent solar road studs. Each project will be assessed after one and three years to measure its impact on reducing casualties and risk. The funding also supports safer conditions for active travel, including #walking and #cycling, as part of wider efforts to improve road safety and move towards making Scotland’s roads the safest in the world by 2030. https://www.transport.gov.scot/news/improving-safety-on-local-roads/

RaiNews: Disney prepara una serie su Trilli, l'iconica fatina di Peter Pan Lo studio sta pianificando da tempo di realizzare una versione aggiornata del classico personaggio creato originariamente dal romanziere e drammaturgo scozzese JM Barrie Disney is developing a series about Tinker Bell, the iconic fairy from Peter Pan. The studio has been planning for some time to create an updated version of the classic character originally created by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie. #Disney #TinkerBell #PeterPan #Scottish #JMBarrie https://www.rainews.it/articoli/2026/03/disney-prepara-una-serie-su-trilli-liconica-fatina-di-peter-pan-012abaa9-616a-43f0-9037-a84461d222dc.html

🚄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScotRail has begun seeking finance for a new suburban fleet of at least 69 trains, with options for up to 37 more, ahead of their planned introduction in the early 2030s. The operator will enter a rolling stock lease once the #trains are in service. A separate process to appoint a manufacturer was launched last November. The trains are expected to serve routes including East #Kilbride, Fife, the Borders and Glasgow’s inner suburban lines. Planned features include air-conditioning, improved reliability, step-free access, and more space for bicycles and wheelchairs. The #Scottish Government has approved the procurement, which is being aligned with electrification works by Network Rail. Chief Operating Officer David Ross said the investment would make rail travel more reliable, comfortable and attractive than car use. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-launches-finance-procurement-phase-new-trains-0

Network Rider ticket prices will change from 1 March, with revised fares applying across South Wales. The tickets allow unlimited travel on most bus operators in the region, offering an option for journeys not covered by Cardiff Bus services, including commuting and leisure trips further afield. Prices for #Cardiff Bus-only tickets remain unchanged. The updated day fares are £10.50 for adults, £7.30 for children and £21 for a family ticket. #English or #Scottish concessionary card holders will pay £7.30 for a day ticket. Weekly fares will be £32.50 for adults and £22 for children and concessionary card holders. The operator says the tickets continue to provide value for multi-operator travel across South #Wales. https://www.cardiffbus.com/network-rider-price-revision

The #Scottish #Government has accepted in full 11 recommendations aimed at strengthening safety and tackling antisocial behaviour on the rail network. A report by the Rail Enforcement Powers Working Group, involving operators, trade unions and police, examined how existing powers are used and where they could be improved. It considered fixed penalty notices, repeat offending, protection for rail staff, youth justice and railway byelaws. Measures already under way include replacing ScotRail’s blanket #alcohol ban with time-limited restrictions and progressing legislation to increase antisocial behaviour fines and widen the use of fixed penalty notices. Work will also look at consistent enforcement and closer partnership between #ScotRail, councils and police. Longer-term options, including enhanced protections for rail workers and possible legislative changes, will now be assessed by officials. https://www.transport.gov.scot/news/new-report-sets-out-actions-to-strengthen-safety-and-tackle-antisocial-behaviour-on-scotland-s-railway/
