Guest chrisss Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 although amtrak can be a total pain, if amtrak were to move away from pigeons could the sport survive?
pjc Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 of course the sport will survive, there will be an alternative to Amtrak up and running soon. At least then people will have a choice again!
rembrant2coo Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 HELLO CHRISS WASN,T IT GOOD LAST NIGHT MATE , ANY WAY YOUR TOPIC THE SPORT WILL SURVIVE I DON,T KNOW WHAT WE DO WITHOUT THEM SOMETIMES (AMTRAX ) ESPECIALLY WHEN THERES SO MUCH DEPENDING ON THE TRANSPORTING OF THEM AROUND THE COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT WITH Y/BIRD SALES AND Y/BIRDS BEING LOST ETC UNTIL WE OR SOMEONE COMES ALONG AND COMPETES AGAINST THEM THEN I FEEL WERE STUCK WITH THEM IN SCOTLAND AT THEMOMENT WE HAVE A CHOICE WE HAVE AMTRAX AND S.P.D.S BUT THE LATTER WILL ONLY DELIVER IN SCOTLAND AND PICK UP HERE AS WELL , SO I THINK YES THE SPORT WILL SURVIVE AND AMTRAX NEED TO GET THE FINGER OUT AND HELP BUT I MUST SAY THIS WE HAVE A GOOD SERVICE HERE WHERE I STAY IN FIFE
cemetary Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Harry, What was good last night, wasnt it better on Sunday. ;D ;D ;D Wait until you get messed about with them, then we will see what service you are refering too. They are good at times, but the could doo a lot better with delivery i say, And if they cut the cost down a little, that would be a big help to some people. Only my opinion though.
rembrant2coo Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 IF YOUR TALKING ABOUT THE FOOTBALL YOUR OUT OF ORDER , AND YOU ARE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE PLACE YOU WILL LAND IN , HOW ARE YOU DOING DOUGIE MY MAN , I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH AMTRAX I WOULD SAY I HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THEMAND THE GUY WHO DELIVERS TO ME IS NICE AND FRIENDLYAND IF I,M NOT THERE HE WILL LEAVE IT AT THE GARAGE NEXT DOOR BY ARRANGEMENT .
pjc Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 last bird to be delivered to me they lost and the last ones to be collected the driver had no boxes and wanted to borrow a basket!
cemetary Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Thats good to no Harry that you have an account with them ;D ;D ;D I have had my dealings with them in the past, and too be honest, if there was someone better than them picking birds up from down the way i would use them. How are you feeling Harry, hope your getting better mate, just keep taking the pills, mind dont get them mixed up with the birds ones. ;D ;D
rembrant2coo Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 I HONESTLY FEEL THAT IT IS UP TO THE DEPOT AND IF THE MANAGER OF THE DEPOT IS ANY GOOD YOU WILL NOT HAVE PROBLEMS ,OUR DEPOT WAS CHANGED TO BRO XBURN FROM KIRKCALDY SO WE DON,T HAVE ANYONE IN FIFE AT ALL CLOCKMAN HAS JUST GAVE ME A TELLING OFF FOR SHOUTING SORRY FOLKS
DOVEScot Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 of course the sport will survive, there will be an alternative to Amtrak up and running soon. At least then people will have a choice again! Best of luck to the new service, but the networking needed to cover the UK by seperate couriers will be the big hurdle or testing point :-/ I noticed they are looking for one person to cover Scotland. What happens if they steal loads of business from Amtrak and it ceases carrying pigeons, we may be back in the same boat. I still think we need a national courier to compete against them. Or a networking wizard to deal with all the seperate couriers

billy wilson Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 i think amtrak are laxadaisy at times loads of times they come for pick up and have no boxes,i bought pigeons last year the youngsters were in a basket,they took the basket to headquarters and brought his basket back the next day.i hate getting birds brought in the boxes when theres nothing in the bottom no shavings or no straw theres nothing worse because the poor bloody things tails thick of sh-- and wings when they have been lying down on top of the crap its worse still when they send a four bird box with two birds in and nothing on the floor theres sh-- every ware.its just a point that i thought i would bring up,anybody else had this problem all for the sake of a few coppers or should i say pence. billy

pjc Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 They charge enough for the service! The drivers should make sure they have boxes at all times so the sender can put shavings etc in the box. The last birds picked up from here went pear shapped, the driver rang to check where we were and said he hadn't got any boxes, had I? I told him I hadn't, he asked if he could borrow a basket which I refused so he had to go back to the depot and get boxes. At least the birds were sent and arrived in good condition!
Roland Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Well won't be no 'Pigeon' reported / returned after Amtrax. All well and good the anti moaning brigade. Heard an seen it all before in very many walks of pigeondom. The simple realiy is that for a time - and it will be for only a shorttime - where transported will pass over the pigeon cargo. There won't ever be a 'Natioal' srvice again, and talk about Amtrax being dear... you ain't seen nothing yet. Won't ven get any birds reported soon, because fanciers wil be even more fed up will owners not wanting to pay £40 - £50 for a returned stray, especially y/b's, when one will simply buy more in cheaper, and unfortunately breed even more. Two thing escalate them, more infeior birds clogging up the church topsw, and more breeding so called studs coming out of the wood work... and you will have to pay the ext. More expense and time consuming eh! More packing up... oh the short sighted of some, and how easily they lead others to follo... to nowhere! We will rule the day when Amtrax -the last srious bastillian remaining - closes it'sdoors to us.
