    Stagecoach West Scotland

    Strange one, but Stagecoach have been steadily removing express Glasgow routes since COVID, even in the west. The dead running for the X19 must have been something.

    Scottish budget

    There is money- it's a government choice on how to allocate it.

    It was a great save at the end by Gordon. I'm virtually the same age and I'd not be getting back up after that! Red card was a hard one to Schwolow for Hearts, but he was silly. Had he gone with his feet to challenge with the ball you could make an argument, but he dives / falls in front of the...

    Super for Macclesfield but the FA Cup leaves me hollow now the way bigger teams treat the competition. Hate seeing all the changes and 3rd choice teams

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    Not surprising given Tesla's Musk issues, but also the cheaper and smaller models that BYD do like the Dolphin should be more mass market. Some of BYDs top end models however look excellent.

    Football

    The culture thing seemed silly but Martin alienated the players after the Motherwell game which was a mistake. People who watched his Championship sides also said his style wouldn't work against defensive minded teams, which the Old Firm come up against weekly. It showed as he drew a lot of...

    Football

    Has to be up there with one of the worst managerial appointments of all time. Celtic's squad is not great this season, but it is one of the better squads in the league and O'Neil was on a 5 game winning streak including beating Feyenoord prior to him coming in. In the cup final defeat, St...

    SPT Tendered Routes

    374 changes look like reducing one journey that avoids the Merrylee area - the one that gets there around school kicking out time in the afternoon. I don't envy bus drivers getting around that estate - cars dumped everywhere.

    East Kilbride line to be allocated a mixture of electric and diesel traction for Dec 2025 timetable change (updates not speculation)

    It wasn't quite all electric operation on Sunday. Certainly was some 156s later in the evening from what I saw.

    Footbridge costs

    Depends what is allowed for. Land acquisition can also be expensive. Can't really compare to housebuilding which is a different beast in terms of scale / complexity.

    Formula 1

    Unlucky Hadjar. Lot of people suggested RB made a mistake picking Lawson over Yuki at the start of the season, yet Lawson still has a seat..

    Formula 1

    I agree with this- teams often get into a mess when they are fighting each other. That said it is an achilles heel for Verstappen to have no teammate near to help - think Perez in 2021. I also think it is weak leadership from McLaren. I can't see some of this flying with Ron Dennis or other...

    UK switching to electric vehicles discussion

    I've got an EV on lease. I can see it just being added to the X miles per year by them and paid. I'm not too bothered by the tax as I can see that EV driving is cheap as chips compared to older cars.

    McGill’s Midland Bluebird

    Exactly - faulty vehicle on walkround needing a replacement or he left depot and ran into a road closure nobody knew about etc etc.

    McGill’s Midland Bluebird

    Agreed. Drivers are much more exposed to passengers than train drivers or pilots who are behind locked doors and engaging just runs the risk of folk who want to chat and debate! Bus delays are much more random and often out of everyone's hands. It's just part of life - someone parked badly or...

    East Kilbride/Barrhead electrification updates

    The turnback at Neilston is also too short for 6 car 380s. Seen online that it's happened before by accident but no idea if true! You do get the occasional 3 car 380 but more often it's 4 car 380s and the 6 car 318/320 combo.

    East Kilbride/Barrhead electrification updates

    Would say it's unlikely give the changes in the interim. The reintroduction of the half hourly evening service (after 7/8pm) is most welcome however.
