Alexton Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi guys, You're probably bored of these questionnaires by now but if anyone could fill this questionnaire (below) in for my dissertation for Uni it would be greatly appreciated. It's around the environmental sustainability of Scottish football and the clubs in general. Should take 5 minutes max. Don't feel obliged to fill it out though. Thanks in advance! https://app.easyquest.com/q/t3AXp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also missed out that many fans come to Glasgow for matches by plane and ferry. I did vent my spleen about Scotland's public transport. Public transport in Scotland is utterly abysmal. I'd reckon it's the worst in western Europe. In London I can use my contactless card to make a journey from, say, Amersham to Croydon and use bus - train - tube - tram - bus and never have to physically buy a ticket. Try doing the same length of route from, say, Pollokshields to Leith. Similar length of journey and broadly similar journey time. The steps you'd have to go to: Subway from Shields Road to Buchanan Street - 1 ticket Train from Queen Street to Haymarket - 1 ticket Tram Haymarket to York Place - 1 ticket Bus York Place to Leith - 1 ticket Scotland is a transport backwater. 6 minutes ago, German Jag said: You need to change the link.

Could you not get 1 rail ticket from Pollokshields to Waverley, then a tram down to Leith? Of course, if the public subsidy for transport infrastructure in Scotland was remotely as generous as it is in the South-East, then I'm sure we could iron out some of these wrinkles. A good argument for Scottish independence, wouldn't you say ? No ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and don't get me started on 'exact fares only' buses and other operators on the same route with buses declaiming 'we give change'! It's like a third world country.

Also show why I should go from Pollokshields East to the Central and then walk to Q Street rather than Shields Road to Buchanan Street then to Q Street with a much shorter walk.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Is Kincardine really comparing a major metropolitan city with billions of pounds of UK taxpayers money spent on transportation infrastructure to a journey from Glasgow to Edinburgh?

House of Commons Briefing Paper 12 Feb 2018 says overall transport public spending 2016/17 is £33.3bn for London's 8.8m pop and £15.5bn for Scotland's 5.4m pop. I reckon, pro-rata maybe another £5bn due for Scotland ? That would cover almost 4 new Queensferry Crossings per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be even more stupid than you are. Amersham - Croydon and Pollokshields - Leith are comparable journeys and the length of time is comparable. The difference is ticketing. I can do the former with a contactless card and the latter with 4 (or maybe 3) physical tiickets. Nothing to do with any of what you said unless you like buying tickets.

Distance has nothing to do with this You're travelling across a transport network which has to deal with millions of journeys on a daily basis compared to a few 10s of thousands at most. Are you suggesting that the UK's transportation infrastructure priority is similar between Glasgow-Edinburgh as it is travelling across London? A better comparison would be in a similarly populated area (some of the outer urban networks in Northern England for example where you have more than 1 train company and numerous bus companies running the system). As mentioned above, contactless is finally coming to Scotland this year I believe so will allow Scotland to be upgraded to a Second World country, much like most of London and its surrounding environs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
