Just, exploded like a hand grenade when I touched it. I'm going to bed now, and I hope I don't wake up. Nah come on Alloa/Dunfermline brother, it's just a stupid egg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Going in to town on Friday for dinner and some drinks. Discovering the last train home is at 9.15 puts a bit of a dampener on it. Public transport in Scotland is awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public transport in Scotland is awful.Is it not still a revised timetable up your way as well? Or is that always the last train? Seems pretty early if it's the norm. From the 3rd I think there are more services running: just go out next weekend instead [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to almost normal next week it's usually just after midnight on a Friday. I've not been in town for 5 months, but assumed that with hospitality etc opening back up that people would be able to get there and back The downside to having privatised public transport I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to admire the arrogance of the architecture, the old place was a state secret, cleverly hidden behind a tube station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I can only speak from experience of places I have been, but, certainly in the areas around major cities, that hasn't been my experience.To be fair, I don't know what your particular journey is and I do think that public transport should be improved in Scotland (£20 per hour on a train is too much in my opinion), but a lot of people don't realise that most other countries aren't much better.Where I lived in (a very rich part of) Italy my trip into the city was probably the equivalent of Stirling to Perth. There were no trains on a Sunday and during the week there was only one bus or train between 1pm and 5pm. The final trip back was at 9.10pm.Columbus is the state capital of Ohio, has a population of nearly a million and doesn't even have a train station!When I lived in Denmark the expensive journey to Copenhagen took three times longer than by car, involving filthy rolling stock covered in graffiti. They have no bus network other than between major cities.Those are three countries with fairly comparable GDP to the UK and I think we've got the better deal. Of course some countries have better functioning public transport than us, but we've still a lot to be thankful for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Fair enough. I live 8 miles from the city centre of Glasgow. I find it utterly bizarre that in today's 24/7 society (obviously taking covid-19 out of the equation) that there are not 24 hour transport links to and from the city centre from this area. If the SG are serious about reducing carbon emissions then public transport is an area that must improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 There's an advert for some motivational bollocks that keeps popping up on here that says "SWITCH ON YOUR AMBITION" and it makes me want to soak my face in batter and stick it in a deep fat fryer just so I never have to read it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
