Today I spotted an electric bus on the X37 between Falkirk and Glasgow.

By advance ticket I was meaning knowing whether you needed a single or return, and which stations you are using. Could any traditional walk-up or advance ticket. Battery issues and other things are a risk. I take a battery pack and charger with to help prevent that being an issue. I've not...

I've bought two of these tickets now. One at a station and the other on board a train. Both times the title, first initial, and surname were added. Never had the name checked though. And can't see any staff complain if a partner uses it. I hope ScotRail run this offer again in future school...

E tickets require you to know exactly which journey you are planning to do on advance. The advantage of GPS or contactless systems is that you can be spontaneous and take whatever train comes next and go somewhere random, or not need to know if you need a single or return. (When the office was a...

Does this mean that the 2A will no longer run? Simpler route, though hard to tell the changes.

My reading of the terms and conditions is that you could name both parents and then only one of the adults needs to travel with at least one kid. Seems a great deal, a bargain if doing a longer journey even with one adult from the central belt to Aberdeen or Inverness, or even just 3 journeys...

You can book 10 minutes before the coach is due to arrive at the intermediate stops , so a longer booking horizon would be needed to be able to not run the whole journey (and return journey too).

A local bus operator ran the driver training on the main service vehicles and the half hourly (daytime)/ hourly (evening) service ended up running around 20-30 minutes late at times, to the point in one journey that the instructor took over for the return journey to try and get back on time. New...

This evening I seen an electric bus in the X37 to Allandale. first time I've seen that.

What I'm trying to get at, is for the travelling public, public transport can be a reasonable price if you can stick to a set of rules such as travelling on a single operator. However once you are needing multiple operators, even for one leg of the journey, the cost can double of the day. It's...

If only we had a fare system that didn't require competition for the passenger directly in terms of tickets and instead the competition was based on the quality of service and routes run.

Sometimes it may mean that the phone needs to be unlocked first and then it works. Though that may not be the case all the time if the transaction is being forced online and there isn't a mobile signal for the card reader.

brfares.com is showing the new fares when changing the fares period to from 7 Sep 25. Seems an offset of a week from when the new fares comes on, or is it to align with some other fare changes?

Last year I was travelling as a family of 4 Newcastle-Amsterdam I looked at the price of the ferry buses and went nope they are too expensive (especially when kids half price on metro and free on Dutch side). In Newcastle took the Metro and then walked, was a nice stretch on the legs after the...

How many were getting the super off peak day returns? Could only buy from a staff member or visa the tap and go app, and from what I heard there weren't that many sales of them.

I was looking at some old timetables from first from a decade or two ago and noticed there used to be a bus that ran the current 35 route but also continued on to Croy and Glasgow, so is it the reintroduction of an old route or variation of?

I've just ~20:00 spotted an electric bus on the 3 to Grangemouth departing the first stop on the route from Falkirk. 1749329612 https://www.route-one.net/news/big-bus-tours-brand-for-mcgills-edinburgh-sightseeing-operation/ Information on the Edinburgh tour rebrand.

If we are to get people out of cars, we need public transport to be provided early when new housing is built rather than leaving it to some point in the future.

I'm surprised the 66 isn't going via the high school and new link road to provide a service for the new housing that's gone in. The are bus stop bays for a bus service bus nothing using them.
