Seeking a desire to catch the 316 bus to Kilcreggan for a ferry excursion to Gourock, we are disappointed to find it doesn't run on a Sunday, so we sheepishly reboard the same train as we continue on the 1224 ScotRail service 2H94 to Hyndland, arriving there at 1305 on Sunday.

Attempts to escape from the heavily populated central belt of Scotland and move to the more rural western, eastern and northern parts of Scotland seemed doomed to failure..... :'(
That's because it was 2330 on a Saturday evening - I'm not quite sure what you were hoping to catch....

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England

It was just an observation in general terms, remembering past years on the first and second incarnations of the particular quiz. Is Sunday (the next day after your time and day shown above) still a day when travel is frowned upon by the religious adherents of the Sabbeth in certain parts of Scotland?

No? It's just there were not many other services available based on how late in the day it was. It's like arriving at Dover Priory at midnight expecting there to be a service to Penzance.

We next take the 1820 ScotRail service to Milngavie, arriving there at 1900 on Sunday.
Leaving the station, we take the nine minute/0.4 mile walk to the Ashfield Road stop where we board the 1955 First Glasgow service 60A to Parkhead (East Wellington Street), arriving there at 2100 on Sunday.
