I didn't say we could have functioned without public transport. In almost all of scotland, that will mean the bus. There are a few routes where extra buses would have been needed if the trains had been withdrawn during Covid (eg Stirling to Edinburgh ) I'm not saying that railway staff , and...

Not all key workers were equally key. We could not have survived without the NHS staff or the food distribution system. Scotland could still have functioned without its passenger trains.

You're probably right. I just knew that they were all the same sex, so no seeds.

If you've watched Inside Central Station you will know that on specific occasions they will enforce it at the Gateline

AIUI, there are no seeds. Fortuitously, only the male plant was imported into the UK. There have also been trials with a scale insect which only lives on it.

You don't spray with glyphosate, you inject it into the stems. There's a new method being trialled successfully. You need a generator and two electrodes. One is plunged into the soil next the roots. The other is inserted into the stems. The current boils the plant down to the roots.

Not really for this thread, but I saw a picture of an HST set going to Wabtec, presumably for warranty attention. Which one? And have the set(s) previously there been returned?

A heavy rail option would only benefit people travelling from Central Glasgow to the Airport. A tram/metro option would also serve at least two other major traffic generators - the University Hospital and Braehead shopping centre.

#4833 in the 345 thread describes today's timetable.

Not according to the map. You enter the zone as you leave the M8.

I can't see how, if the driver remains in the leading cab until the train has stopped in the sidings, and only then walks the length of the train to the other end before it starts back to Paddington, if can save any time at all. Surely the whole point is that , having initiated the procedure...

I don't understand the enthusiasm of posters for the extension of the 41 to serve Cammo. Who there wants to take such a roundabout route into the city? And the section between Barnton and Crammond is an area of £1m + mansions which are hardly likely to generate much bus traffic unless it's...

Except if it's raining! And anyway there are escalators up the Waverley Steps.[/automerge]

Wasn't much of Newcastle Castle lost for the same reason?

Because there are local elections in London, I assume there will be no public statements before Friday 6th. Purdah!

Surely Stirling Castle? And of course Kilchurn on Loch Awe.

I read that they can't all return as a number of offices have been closed and so there isn't space even with hot desking.

Not sure if it's relevant but the AIR service is run by West Coast Motors.

As a matter of interest why would a 97-built bus have a registration number from 2006?

The new TPE-Operated services between Newcastle and Edinburgh should be extended to Glasgow Central and all or nearly all XC and LNER services should be withdrawn. The XC stock in particular is needed to strengthen services their core.
