    McGill's Buses - Renfrewshire & Inverclyde

    Having briefly worked for McGill's I can tell you that even their newer buses broke down very often. In fact, it is why I quit. I've worked with some independents and even their buses did not break down as much as McGill's buses. This accident was only a matter of time before it happened.

    Razor blades allegedly stuck to the back of posters

    You're comment makes no sense. If these so called "Anti Vaxxers" continued their ridiculous behavior in a relatively peaceful manner why would it be unpleasant, surely being peaceful is the opposite of unpleasant? 1631283468 1631283661 And you're taking this as Gospel from a well established...

    Grand Central to suspend services from end of Friday 3 April 2020

    In this brave new world, there will be no need for open access when the rail network is going to be re-nationalized. Not many small (smaller) businesses are going to survive this current crisis and the ensuing economic depression that we may now witness.

    How do I convince someone these new rules apply to them?

    I've been burgled twice, so yes I was peeved. however, that was no action of mine and is usually a crime of opportunity. Let's just say this bill they passed without a democratic vote last night lasts for two years, as was stated in parliament last night, would you be happy to be on lockdown...

    How do I convince someone these new rules apply to them?

    Maybe because some people realize that if we do not fight the governments over this, what is affective medical Martial Law, we will be living under Chinese laws on steroids? Lets not beat around the bush, and call it out for what it is. A police state, and a clampdown on all our freedoms. And...

    Coronavirus.

    As most retailers sell paracetamol one can always buy more by going a few yards up to the next high street retailer. Even going to a pharmacy one can easily walk up to a counter and buy a 32 pack of Co-codamol without a prescription. This whole toilet roll panic buying is bizarre and goes a long...

    Flybe Collapses

    Just reading that Stobart pumped money into FlyBe, I have to say that it is no surprise that FlyBe went under. Stobart is not exactly doing well themselves, and I believe we'll probably see the end of Stobart soon.

    How early do you need to arrive at a station where there are level crossings

    In my day (not that long ago either) we would have realised that it was our own fault.

    Competition heats up between Transdev and Connexions

    It is somewhat interesting when their is someone who disagrees with another's world view, it automatically turns into (in this case) a rant. Great label bro. My "rant" is that most of the profits will be funnelled to it's HQ in France. Yes they improve on services, however, this has more to do...

    Competition heats up between Transdev and Connexions

    So, for the pro Transdev (large multinational operator) Do we think that this is for the benefit of the public, or the benefit of profit and shareholders? I remember the dirty tricks Stagecoach played in and around Hyndburn back in the late eighties, early nineties. As soon as they forced other...
