Is it just me that's noticed cancellations due to train crew issues seem to be more widespread on Saturdays compared to the rest of the week? It's never been this bad before, but it seems to be significantly impacting the DOO routes around Glasgow.

First Glasgow need to hurry up with the night buses. Was out in Glasgow last night and had to wait ages for a taxi to Shawlands because there was no N38.

One of the Yutongs have already been damaged according to the McGills facebook page. Images attached. The Yutong and another vehicle were damaged in the Shortroods area of Paisley, it’s resulted in the 757 being suspended after 6pm. Images show a smashed window on one of the new electric...

I do think some GP's are much behind the times when it comes to not offering many online services. I'm considering switching my GP to another one down the road for me, which allows appointments to be booked in advance as well as an eConsult service. My current one makes everyone phone up at...

This is my main issue, the dastardly phones. In total today it took me around 300 redials and 3 hours of trying before eventually giving up. My surgery makes everyone phone up at 8:30am. Part of me was genuinely considering going to the hospital to get my issue looked at, but no doubt I'd end...

If this goes through, it will definitely be huge. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of the operations, including the likes of National Express (coaches) and Megabus.

Hi, I'm curious as to how good an experience forum members have had with GP surgeries. Mines has been relatively good even throughout the pandemic, that's if I can get through to get an appointment. Does anyone else struggle to actually get through to the Receptionist let alone get an...

On those CRT screens. I believe one of the last surviving examples was at Prestwick International Airport. They lasted until at least 2017/18 when they started getting replaced by screens similar to the new ones on Greater Anglia.

In a way, the whole thing with China and Taiwan reminds me of the years old issue between the United States and Cuba, with the back and forth between and the accusations towards the US of being cruel towards the people of Cuba. It does show, countries may have different values but there are...

I've noticed that Scottish Citylink is starting a new service from September 27th, service 618 from Edinburgh to Blackpool via Glasgow. Isn't it a bit late in the season to start a service to Blackpool, or are they catering for the illuminations and October break? Also, since it originates in...

Aren't the two seats by the TM's office normally reserved for staff in most cases anyway?

Can anyone shed some light onto how useful Gogarburn tram stop actually is? I know it serves the Bank of Scotland HQ, but there’s nothing else around it. Must be the least used on the network?

I stopped by Edinburgh Airport today and the easyJet line was massive. Everybody was masked up. It looks like people are just getting on with it here.

Very true. I should probably stop reading what the likes of Owen Jones is tweeting about a new cold war, as are tons of other columnists. You’d think theyd want a blasted war.

Ultimately what do we think is going to come of this? I do think the West should be cautious when it comes to testing China, nobody wants a full blown war. But I do feel Taiwan may become a battleground of sorts, given China conducting exercises in their airspace and with the US being an ally...

The mid-morning and afternoon trains are normally the busiest of the lot. I’m assuming they are talking about the 20:10 Glasgow to Crewe service which has always carted fresh air.

Oh wow that looks delicious.

France aren’t too happy… https://www.reuters.com/world/us-move-dislodge-france-australia-submarine-deal-is-incoherent-french-ministers-2021-09-15/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=twitter Looks like France were shafted from the whole thing, and in a way I can see why they are angry. However...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-58564837 This seems a little bit out of the blue given how quiet things have been with China recently (at least in my book). Of course people seem to be misunderstanding the nuclear-powered submarine as they think it means nuclear weapons. What is everyones...

I've had it pass through twice, but not with a smile.
