Blimey. I prefer the chances of the Arriva 600 East Kilbride - Paisley - Glasgow Airport service succeeding :D

M6 Glasgow - Falkirk - Edinburgh Airport - Aberdeen??? Huh? Whu? I really hope that's a mistake in the registration! If not... is AI doing their route planning? 903. I sort of understand, but it doesn't seem like a winner. It worked in the days when they had the Glasgow Airport - Glasgow...

The driver thing could happen to any operator, and I imagine finding a spare driver + a second driver and vehicle would be difficult and take time even if the operator was based locally. However the 066 vehicles are indeed getting a bit beaten up on the outside, and are increasingly filthy...

I remember it as a full circle :D

I am completely out of touch, but my gosh the 32 has become a mutant since the one I remember!!!

Tesco asked me for a receipt as a relatively low value item had a hidden security tag inside it. It was easier to let them work out which self checkout I'd used my card at and reprint the receipt than force the issue, but I wonder what would have happened if I had. If you use a Tesco clubcard...

In the days when some of the Cambridge - London coaches in the morning went through the villages south of Cambridge, Nat Exp was the majority of the Sunday morning service to most of them, and you could buy tickets for the local journeys. Honestly; it was hard enough to get off the coaches at...

The T2 is indefensible. I feel that places like Earith and Sutton are places that fit better into a franchised network than a fragmented one where competition isn't supposed to be happening. I meant that Stagecoach's deckers are expensive compared to Whippet's. 1789413102 It's a Central...

Yes - some of the numbers are really interesting! I was particularly interest to learn (via the T1, T2 & T3) the price range of keeping a double decker bus on the road for a certain number of hours a day. It made me feel hopeful for franchising. It's clear that Stagecoach are very expensive...

It's now proposed that T2 link between three P&R sites on this strange route is to be put out of its misery before the contract ends, though tbh the fact that this is not until August 2027 offends me slightly! I understand they have a contract but I feel like they could do something better with...

The revised proposals are in and they're quite reasonable compared to the original set: CPCA proposed bus service revisions

Obviously there's more to it as capital is expensive too, and Ember has a vast and fairly costly charging network (which in turn limits where the coaches can operate and the flexibility with which they can). But that's a prepayment against the cost of future fuel bills something in the region...

I never heard it called that by anyone at all anywhere ever, except in the media. Absolutely everyone I knew called it either the subway or, less frequently, the underground.

Regulations and cost incentives are such that are school services are, within the environment that has been created, always vital. In rural areas they also often always will be. However in urban areas I wonder how many would still exist if the schools were under joined up LA control AND the...

The thing is though... Flix in the UK is already profitable! This could show one of a few things. Either Flix has mastered life and found the winning formula, or National Express is seriously broken... or some kind of mixture of both.
