classic SNCF moment as they try and convince you to not travel by train and get a bus instead

A phone notification from SNCF Connect:

in a promising turn for Britain's new joined up railway, LNER have changed their ticketing website so it no longer flags the cheapest train but the cheapest train *they* operate specifically 🙃

A screenshot of the LNER ticketing website for journeys between Edinburgh and London, two LNER trains are priced at £132.20 and flagged as "Cheapest LNER", while there is an option from Avanti at £129.50 and Lumo at £86.90, neither is flagged as "Cheapest"

it's great to be back in the UK and to return to the guard giving a lecture over the PA about how tickets work and how you're in deep trouble if you've got something wrong

jet fuel prices have skyrocketed? lucky we live in such a time that you can do Edinburgh to Berlin entirely using electricity, then

every development in the North-South line makes me want to scream can we please be serious for a second

screenshot from the Edinburgh Evening News "Edinburgh's SNP group has today said it would back a North-South tramline for the Capital, but did not believe either of the options for the northern section – Roseburn Path or Orchard Brae – offered the right solution."

McGill's, 2026 vs McGill's 2025

A screenshot from a news article:
A Scottish bus company has said it is taking legal advice after its bid for funds to expand its electric bus fleet was rejected by Transport Scotland.

McGills Group, which is the largest independent bus operator in the UK, said it had sought £4.3 million from a Government scheme to buy 33 zero-emission vehicles from Falkirk-based bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL).

The company said the move would have boosted Scottish jobs and enabled it to remove more diesel vehicles from its fleet across Scotland.

A screenshot from a different news article:
THE owners of an Inverclyde bus firm say they opted to buy new vehicles from a Chinese manufacturer, rather than a UK builder, after identifying a number of quality issues with the rival company’s product.

The McGill's Group issued a statement after bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL) announced it was considering closing its manufacturing operation in Scotland and moving it to Scarborough in North Yorkshire, putting around 400 jobs at risk.

The Greenock-based group has ordered nearly 100 electric buses made by the Chinese firm Yutong since 2021 for its local services in the west of Scotland, many of which operate on routes across Inverclyde.

Transport Scotland have announced phase 3 of ScotZEB, which seems to include Lothian getting a custom order of 40 Volvo/ADL electric buses, which is surprising but would make sense (plus 20 wrightbuses) www.transport.gov.scot/public-trans...

"bendy buses could be better than trams" - the people who don't want aberdonians to realise they're getting a worse system to save a bit of money

An article from the Press and Journal: "Aberdeen Rapid Transit: Everything you need to know about tram-like bus plans as public talks start
Bosses say the new bus system could rival the Edinburgh trams."
then there's a poorly photoshopped image of a Belfast Glider bendy bus in Aberdeen

glasgow's public transport is really infuriating, infrastructure wise it could easily become one of the best in the world for a city of its size (especially compared to edinburgh where almost everything's road based) but it gets held back by having no coherent leadership

also reminder for trams via Orchard Brae: this will result in the removal of bike lanes along the route as there's no space, Roseburn maintains and in some cases improves the path
