First Greater Glasgow

[route101]

I find it annoying that FG announce timetable changes to all these services but don’t print the new timetables at same time. We are left to wonder if our journeys are changing. I use 241/242 regularly and it would be good to know what’s changing.

Do First Glasgow even print timetables or provide PDFs of them?

Last time I looked it was just a generated timetable.

Traveline Scotland already has the full new timetables, I was checking out the 18/18A situation earlier.

PDF’s on the website I think. What I meant by print was publish. Put them online.

It is a PDF but its not a PDF of a printed timetable that other operators produce. Scotrail is an example of one.

Had a look on Traveline Scotland website. Seems AI timetables with random times have reached the Lanarkshire locals with this change in June.

Allegedly 33107 has been seen in Dublin Airport tonight on driver training duties.

Morning. As a new user of Bustimes.org I'm really enjoying the app. I'm sure it's been asked before but what is the reason First Aberdeen and First GG are not showing up when other First Group buses in England are showing?
I'm assuming that they are using different ticket machines that don't send the same data as others? Well, that's my guess anyway!

In simple terms, the data isn't a requirement in Scotland (unlike England), so First choose not to provide it to the same extent.

Ahh, that's kinda what I thought. Seems a bit petty to me.

There is a consultation out at the moment in relation to this by Transport Scotland. I'd encourage people to fill it in: https://consult.gov.scot/transport-scotland/scottish-bus-open-data-consultation/
