Avid Bus Passenger/Campaigner🚌😍 Goals: Seek to improve Rural Buses for all- help keep elderly/disabled independent. Save & Grow Rural Buses across
#Stirling
Balfron Bus Depot entering the ripe old age of 102…tough times on 🚌🚌 but still the pride of Western Stirlingshire and cherished by the communities it’s always served…👏👏👏
Bus Drivers have the ability to make or break a Passengers day more so during Covid. So a huge thanks to all those cheery drivers who welcome their passengers onboard and go out their way to make things better. What a wonderful skill and so so appreciated.👏

@markruskell
Why are
@BBCBreakfast
appearing to defend this 🤷🏻♀️ Guidance broken on so many levels. Two adults deliberately travelling with virus for any reason is incomprehensible let alone to be near family who are self isolating. Words fail me!
@SamCoatesSky
How dare Liz Truss assume She knows what the public want to know about Boris’s dodgy dealings. Lack of integrity among these ministers is astounding.
This is for all those who continue to support the buses in the Balfron area especially those passengers not online but who are still doing their bit behind the scenes to push for better buses and for those who are no longer with us.
Passenger took this onboard today 1818 Balfron-Stirling 09.40 shame on you

running this scrap. This bus was reported as scrap back in 2018 when it was 36027 How dare you call this public transport!
@devisridhar
Thank you Devi, your message has not changed just wish UK Gov had listened to you months ago -stopped the waffle and concentrated on getting an effective testing system up and running. Winter is looking increasingly bleak.

@mattfrei
Got so angry had to switch of this creature needs to visit a Covid ward or some of the relatives of those who have died of Covid. Who votes for these people 🤷🏻♀️

Jason you are doing a brilliant job lots of people all over Scotland and further are really grateful for the information you give us. Please don’t stop.

Folks get a grip this isn’t just happening in your wee patch - it’s a global pandemic - the whole world is grappling with it. It’s not Nicola Sturgeons fault the virus is out of control. It’s down to Joe Public acting like edgits and doing what they like.
@scotgov
@NicolaSturgeon
Honestly FM don’t know how you put up with such ridiculous Qs from some of these so called journalists. Maybe issue them with a dictionary with the word Virus highlighted - they obviously haven’t grasped its meaning yet!!
@scotgov
Everybody’s fed up -get that -but surely common sense if we let everyone out at once we’ll all be looking at another lockdown later in year like after last summer and again at Christmas. Its US that spreads the virus. Slow and steady seems sensible to me. 🤷🏻♀️
Re Midland Bluebird Cancellations 🚌🚌
Ok…there’s a few not been put on the list …BUT on the whole there has been a significant improvement in the amount of buses cancelled across Stirling in the last couple weeks. Here’s hoping this trend continues. 🙏
And here she is in the flesh
@Balfron
’s very own luxury X10 Bus - wee query over heating- but I’m sure we’ll get that sorted. 🤞 But isn’t she a beauty. 😍
Happy Hogmanay everyone hope you all have a great night.🎉🎉🎉
One of my favourite bus trips of 2022 was going over the Tay Bridge on the Discover Dundee open top bus……what a view.

Good to hear from
@JeaneF1MSP
that a proper exemption card re masks is in the making -will hopefully take the pressure off those who are genuinely exempt as opposed to those who just won’t comply.
@STVNews
Just as long as everybody who refuse to comply don’t throw their toys out the pram when their actions force the whole country into a full lockdown or even worse that some of their loved ones get seriously ill with Covid.
@scotgov
@NicolaSturgeon
Bamboozled by comments 🤔 Do majority who comment actually watch the briefing just so they can disagree with everything. Or do they wait till it starts and throw in negative comments for sake of it. If answers yes to either why bother -go for a walk. 🤷🏻♀️

Passengers have felt ignored for years long before the current crisis.If operators saw complaints as a way of improving the service instead of shutting them down and carrying on as before-things might be in a better place and drivers wouldn’t suffer the abuse
Thank you
@GVVTGlasgow

@NicolaSturgeon
Has to be most ridiculous Q from journalist so far - will FM give exemptions for Christmas 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah.....virus knows it’s Christmas and will take the day off so we can all party ....Doh...
Years of fighting for some decent X10 buses FirstEast conceded gave us 2 of these. Apart from usual no heating passengers were thrilled to bits. Today just over a year later
@mcgillseast
still no heating and like a swimming pool inside 😡🙇🏻♀️
Not going to lie after recent weeks was apprehensive about 🚌 today but credit where it’s due
#McGillsEast
@StirlingCouncil
2 really good X10 trips👍
Pleasant drivers - no racing across the shire👌Shows what a difference a good driver can make to a trip 👏
@devisridhar
What about masks? need to decide how important these really are. Very few folk are wearing them either on public transport or shops. We either need to or we don’t - too vague at present.
Been a long time coming but great to be able to post this about the X10/X10A Balfron route. Passengers loving the Citaros 😍Warm Comfortable and talking to drivers they all say great to drive-no more sore backs

Many thanks to Paul Clark
#McGillsEast
for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend the passenger group meeting
@StirlingCouncil
last night-hopefully the issues raised gave an insight into what users are experiencing travelling on buses across
#Stirling
That’s it folks - having a couple days off- things to do places to be. Good luck on the buses - remember to check Cancellation List
@mcgillseast
for updates. 👋👋

@krishgm
Thank you Devi everything you say makes sense but it must feel like you’re flogging a dead horse at times. Keep up the good work.
@STVNews
Have met 3 asthma sufferers on bus all wearing masks two have severe asthma -all different ages- but say they feel safer wearing masks and wouldn’t dream of going out without one. They feel getting Covid would be much more dangerous for them.
@OviAvfc1
@piersmorgan
First lockdown did work in suppressing virus. The UK governments careless loosening of restrictions when we came out of it + lack of a proper testing system got us here. Money before lives -7 months later, look where that got us. Monkeys could do a better job
Great to have something positive to report on an X10 journey 👍
Stirling-Glasgow 09.00
Trainee driver - very pleasant to everyone who boarded -lovely smooth journey good trainer with him knows the route 👍👏😀
