    PlusBus Tickets

    That might be changing. A few weeks neck I was speaking with someone selling tickets in Glasgow and their ticket office has moved to the printed bog roll by default.

    McGill’s Midland Bluebird

    On a Sunday I find the timings of the buses between Falkirk and Camelon a bit annoying as the buses are bunched together instead of spread out so you don't get an effective higher frequency. I like the idea of being able to get from Camelon to Grangemouth or Bo'ness with only one bus rather...

    PlusBus Tickets

    Historically First were the main operator in Livingston and then McGill's using the Midland Bluebird brand bought the operation, however they left Livingston and most of West Lothian. Is there a process to change the operator that leads an area when the majority operator changes as has happened...

    McGill’s Midland Bluebird

    The other pain point is PlusBus zones. Bo'ness is in the Linlithgow zone, yet the more frequent (and Sunday) buses are via Falkirk. It's in a bit of an odd position McGill's fares wise due to where the boundaries are too which won't help. You need to use the all zone ticket to use the F45...

    It's a temporary service change and not all temporary changes get through as a timetable update.

    East Anglia tips and tricks

    When travelling north of Manningtree, splitting at Manningtree used to be a good splitting point, especially with the network rail card. (I haven't double checked to see if this is still the case but have no reason why it wouldn't be.) Network Railcard can't be used before 10am with some...

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    I can get e-tickets with day returns for example for Camelon-Dundee with 2 splits if going via Stirling and Perth, though haven't gone through the full buying process. I'm wondering if the e-tickets option has been enabled in more places with the app change, as I've been trying more places and...

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    If you are buying a return be careful as the first out bound journey you select if you want a single or return, and that option sticks to the single default rather than the cheaper return option. No option to change it when you select the return. If you aren't logged in you have to pick up...

    ScotRail - New app / website booking engine from 30 July 2026

    The password reset took a while to come through (up to an hour), so just be patient. Suspect there is a huge influx of password resets and they are queued up. 1785392496 The new app doesn't seem to do split tickets any more, also no later or earlier buttons for the train departure list, instead...

    PlusBus Tickets

    Why can't we have a single barcode that covers the whole journey including out, return, covering all modes in the journey, this meaning that we passengers don't need to try and find the right barcode for each ticket part of the journey!

    Ember: Electric coach service

    I'm wondering if the new service could be a useful link service to other Ember routes north connecting at the park and ride, especially with Ember now doing through ticketing.

    McGill’s Midland Bluebird

    Wouldn't the depot closure mean that the vehicles would have significantly more dead run miles? Saturday 23rd May I was in Glasgow and got into Buchanan Street at 1910 missing both the last 72 and a X37 at 1900. The X36 didn't show up but around that time a Unilink branded bus on the X23...

    Trivia: tickets that can *ONLY* be CCST

    I suspect that was from the days of the separate guards van, however they have been phased out and you have the bike inside the main passenger carriage now.

    Trivia: tickets that can *ONLY* be CCST

    It's been a while since I've done a bike reservation in a train, but they've always required the ticket collection CCST stock in the past. Has that changed recently?

    Are any fares available online only as e-tickets?

    I've just checked in the ScotRail app and you can fulfill the flexi as mobile or Smartcard.

    I boarded the rattly single decker just before sending that message at Stirling station heading towards the university. I'm fairly certain it was the vehicle in the screenshot from the Midland Bluebird app (assuming is one of the two still on the route). 1780078393 1909 in the Unlink from...

    PlusBus Tickets

    I've bought an ePlusbus ticket through the real-time trains site for Stirling and the barcode came up as not accepted for the Midland Bluebird Unlink service. The is no mention on https://www.plusbus.info/stirling the the Unlink isn't allowed. Ticketer ticket machines. Driver grudgingly allowed...

    Greater Anglia Class 755s (Regional Trains)

    Also worth noting that some wheelchairs have smaller wheels so will still need the ramp even with the small gap. Having a smaller ramp should in theory be fractionally quicker and easier to put down too. The faster speeds of getting on really helps many other groups too.

    Greater Anglia Class 755s (Regional Trains)

    I suspect cost was a factor so things like Berney Arms was demand too low passenger numbers and you would need to be able to walk from there anyway, so deemed not worthwhile to sort the level boarding. Considering how difficult it is to get the access for all funding to get level platform...

    Ember: Electric coach service

    The bus services are now only on the main road as that one is so quiet.
