If pre-clearance from Scotland became reality then the airport that should be used is Prestwick - it was specifically built for transatlantic flights as it basically never gets shut down by bad weather.

If I'm reading it correctly, I can use my concessionary travel card and travel from Argyle St to Mill St, Yoker without issue. With the proviso that the bridge opening might cause all sorts of issues, am I correct?

For all I know, annual expenditure comes nowhere near the figures above BUT what would happen if, for instance, the 60+ spend reached the £248m before the financial year end?

Northern Rail app can sell Scotrail m-tickets - there may be others.

I've used many companies to buy Scotrail tickets through, ranging from Chiltern to Northern - generally dependant on whether Quidco or TopCashback are giving cashback on them. The Northern App is/was already on my mobile and I have no issues with mtickets so quite happy to continue using it...

Don't know if WCM have the same issues but the Borders Buses twitter feed can be embarrassingly useless: The 12:10 is delayed by approximately 15 minutes due to a technical error We apologise for any inconvenience caused - WHAT IS THE SERVICE NUMBER, WHERE IS IT GOING FROM AND TO? PLease note...
