    I know it’s a repetitive question but will the TSR be lifted anytime soon to enable WCML to achieve the new higher speeds. Travelling next Tuesday and be keen to experience the difference.

    Were buses more profitable/better run before or after privatisation?

    You also need to consider societal changes and the change in demographics. 20 bus services to an area that has had high rise flats demolished and replaced with low density housing isn’t a comparison. Home working and online shopping also to name a few. I echo the earlier comment - impossible...

    Presume this will remain in place until works are finished to protect staff. Be good to see the actual benefits in trip time once completed

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)
