Rumour has it that First Edinburgh buses - a subsiduary of First Group - are considering sending their managers to a brewery so they can train to organise a substantial drinking session.
Tonight, I waited 25 minutes for a number 86 to Dalkeith at Cameron Toll. Then the bus broke down. The there was the interminable roadworks in Dalkeith (yet another set of temporary traffic lights has sprung in the town centre. I'm beginning to think it's an alien invasion disguised as traffic lights) And the driver didn't seem to have a clue what she was doing. So the normal half hour journey from Cameron Toll to my home took an hour.
I read the other day that First Edinburgh have been fined for their poor services in West Lothian. i.e. buses running late and sometimes not at all.
Well, there's a surprise...

I've never used First buses, always Lothian. Watching those TV screens with estimated times is a hoot and the #26 seems to only travel in pairs which means one is either seriously delayed, or seriously early.
You have buses?
Lucky you!
We have three. One goes east, one west, and the other round in circles. Oh I lie, there is another that goes south, and I forgot the local that goes north, but not everywhere each day!
Tsk! Grumblers.....
