If the driver was rude and aggressive to you then that's a separate issue, and sad to hear. If they've been told no walk on NEC, then it would be within their remit to refuse travel. Waving a phone about saying the website says otherwise is antagonistic, regardless of intent. If it has upset...

Why are you setting out to antagonise a driver? Fair enough if this particular driver admits to any mistake, but from being in this game long enough I doubt it. I'd just bar you from any vehicle I was driving if you came at me with such a self-righteous attitude. End of the day, driver decides...

Right enough, I was using the map thing, which doesn't have a big green dot for Inverness.

I was perusing McGill's job vacancies and noticed they're hiring drivers on the Flixbus contract and the advert stated "With bases in Inchinnan, Livingston, Aberdeen, and Inverness...". The first two are known, but I'm interested to know about Aberdeen and Inverness, especially as Flixbus...

Paulley Vs First Bus is the relevant test case. Basically states that drivers must ask but can not remove a passenger with pushchair from occupying the wheelchair space. The recorded announcement is nothing more than an empty threat, sadly.

Buses are sat ready to leave Central, awaiting allocations. Some have come in, been washed and cleaned then queued, so they've not been parked all day. H-prefix services are left in the destination controller all year, same with the 20 and 63...

The issue lies with the passenger. The actual tap goes through in a second, and the system can process multiple separate taps even if it doesn't beep immediately. Passengers who don't have their fare device ready and spend 5/10 seconds struggling to unlock that device or the classic run for bus...

Board at flag works and removing it is asking for a massive culture change from the travelling public in Edinburgh, and not to mention it leaves disabled passengers at a disadvantage as mentioned before. The stops and stopping patterns need reassessed and adjusted. I would put delays in...

Yes, under the construction and use regs. Exceptions are if it fails mid-journey and only to complete journey, and to travel to a place where limiters can be set or repaired.

As a Driver in Edinburgh I'm not really fussed by folk getting up and being by the door. My only gripe is with the elderly and infirm as I'm more than happy to allow them time to get up from their seat, but when they're hobbling down the gangway it's just undue stress I don't need, especially...

Definitely questionable. The 16 can be pretty full well into the evening. Looked like standing room only when it went past me at Newhaven.

81 is on the 16 :O

Would struggle to fit anything down there and it's an absolute haven for anti-social behaviour so it would be asking for trouble, I would think.

Why not try the old 'okay I shall' and then continue snapping away? Don't have to delete anything, saves an argument and tends to flummox people as they only want that aforementioned argument. Worked for me a handful of times.

I saw 288 and 289 on tow, I was on a 1 as they went past. Maybe free up some space in Central for something new :)

Just noticed bus 11 being dropped off outside Seafield works, couldn't stop for a photo. I'm sure a quick polish and it'll be back out in no time...

The Lochend-bound 13 is currently routed down Leith Walk, right along Duke St. and then right up Easter Rd. and then left onto St. Clair St. The working theory is it will run via Albert St. both ways when Scottish Water finish their works there, although this is actually up to Edinburgh...

I'll be happy to see the back of those 7900H buses especially 1>10. They're getting very tired, would be good to know the cause of this thermal incident. Glad also nobody was injured.

I've always thought the 15 should run from the Bush turning right instead of left at the junction with Bush Loan Rd., then turn left and go out past Flotterstone on the A702 then left again at the roundabout onto Mauricewood Rd. Then onto Penicuik Town centre. Same route on return to Edinburgh...

Driven that a few times. Doesn't half shift but that's the only thing going for it. Absolutely embarrassing pulling up anywhere with it.
