  • Hahaha what a tragic post. Everyday there are people crying about orange walks on this sub. Letting them consume you. by twoxraydelta (Sat 3rd Jul 2021 2:19pm)
  • If you have a bit of anxiety stick on some sunglasses and/or earphones and take an iPad/laptop so you can sit with a purpose and focus on something, rather than sitting feeling awkward. You might only be browsing r/glasgow but nobody else needs to know that. For all they know you could be a hurried, travelling business women who’s just stopped for a spot of lunch and refreshments. Take a jacket or similar so you can use it as a place holder when you use the facilities. If its busy then you will just blend in with the crowd. If its quiet then there js nobody there to make you feel judged. At the end of the day most people will be that focused on their own group to worry about you and nobody else knows your story anyway πŸ˜€ by twoxraydelta (Sat 3rd Jul 2021 6:45pm)

  • Madness how this comment has been downvoted so much. Most cars even have breakdown cover when you buy new or approved used, and extends annually if you get it serviced at an approved dealer. Not such a bad comment. by twoxraydelta (Sun 4th Jul 2021 12:33pm)

  • Row of shops near by for convenience, great transport links. Bus every couple of minutes including express buses to the city. 10 min walk to Scotstounhill train station. Road links also great, 10 mins from Clydebank, less than 5 for the Clyde tunnel. Lots of undesirable characters in the area. Known trouble hot spot. Can be bad for parking. Another poster said avoid Earl St. Those flats are almost like an extension of Earl St and probably where you will need to park if you drive. The park at the end of the block and the cycle path (on the old railway line) close by are the local ned hangouts. by twoxraydelta (Sun 4th Jul 2021 7:48pm)

  • Even if meant with good intentions a lot can change between now and Christmas. You or the person(s) you invite may meet the partner of their dreams and fancy a cosy christmas together or with families. Job changes. Location changes. Who knows.

  • Your username is well suited. The lone wolf. Hey some of us are like that. The lone wolf that operate outside normal social structures. All of my past relationships have came organically through friendship and talking. I cannot do dating apps. It feels so forced for me because I am also a lone wolf type character who enjoys good company but is also perfectly fine alone. Do you have any hobbies. Like do you support a football team, or go to the gym or something. Enjoy solo travel? An activity that involves other people being around but you don’t need to be with other people to take part. Approaching people in shopping centres etc is a bold extroverted strategy and may be taken the wrong way by some women. I’d try something that doesn’t involve pressure to meet someone. I’m sure as the world starts to normalise forums like this will have social nights etc . A spot of solo travel to the popular backpacking destinations, stay in the hostels. Lots of people doing the same thing. Or go somewhere like London or New York. You can blend in with the crowd and its not uncommon to meet other people also looking for friends either because they are travelling, or moved to the city for work. There is someone out there for everyone. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Its always when you least expect it somebody shows up. by twoxraydelta (Tue 6th Jul 2021 2:22pm)
  • Hi, the West End is broad. If you could be more specific people would be able to help you a little better based on transport links. Also depends what kind of commute you are willing to have. The areas you have mentioned are all desirable these days so prices are on the up slightly faster than more outlying areas. Pretty much all of the West End has superb transport links through one of the transport modes. Look at the subway map on spt.co.uk. Its a very small circular system (takes 24 minutes to complete an entire loop) and a chunk of the network is in the West End. If your job is near Great Western Road or the northern side of Byres Rd you have Subway stations St Georges Cross, Kelvinbridge or Hillhead close by. You can stay anywhere there is a Subway station close by (Kinning Park/Ibrox/Govan/Partick Bus wise the 6 runs every 10 minutes and is a cross city service so that opens up areas like Clydebank, Yoker, Anniesland, Govanhill, and Battlefield with a direct bus route. The 6A runs every 10 minutes (and branches off from the regular 6 at Anniesland) and opens up Knightswood. If your job is closer to the Dumbarton Rd/Argyle St end then you are transport rich. Same applies with the Subway, with the stops being Kelvinhall or Partick. Railway wise there is a great cross city service. Check out the [Dunbartonshire timetable](https://www.scotrail.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/download_ct/20210517/UFVDgByc17LZdFzIXXlQiNb6BkKRFDF-X6It_sr1BOw/sr0051_dunbartonshire_may_2021.pdf). With stations at Partick and Exhibition Centre then it really opens your options. Bus wise: the 2 runs every 10 minutes or better opening your options to Clydebank, Scotstoun, and Whiteinch. The 3 runs frequently cross city which opens up areas like Laurieston, Pollokshields and Shawlands. Parking wise, the West End can be pretty brutal. Closer to the city centre much of it is chargeable/residents only. by twoxraydelta (Thu 8th Jul 2021 7:44am)
  • They are but not because they don’t allow motorbikes in bus lanes πŸ˜‚ by twoxraydelta (Thu 8th Jul 2021 8:06am)
  • Where do you draw the line. What about the next guy that comes along and says “oh I drive a small electric car, why can’t I use the bus lane to skip all those cars causing pollution if a petrol motorbike can zip through there.” Bus lanes are there to help buses stick to a schedule as best as possible. Bus gates are there to reduce the emissions levels in the city centre in addition to above. There are ways to avoid the Kingston Bridge by travelling round the city depending on which direction you came from and are travelling to. High St/Broomielaw/Clyde St by twoxraydelta (Thu 8th Jul 2021 8:05am)
  • Ah, Glasgow Uni really does leave you with some great options transport wise. ​ Your Subway station for work would be Hillhead and the subway map really gives you a great starting point. Partick, Hillhead, Kelvinbridge and around the St Georges Cross (near Woodlands are all good but prices are likely to be pretty high. Bridge St station has for the Laurieston area has nice new flats. West St and Shields road are more industrial areas. Kinning Park but not much going on in the area. Cessnock, Ibrox and Govan are considered to be on the rougher edge of town. ​ Walkable areas, Hillhead, Dowanhill and North Kelvinside. Again can get pricey. North Kelvinside is popular with Glasgow Uni students and close to Botanic Gardens and the Kelvin Walkway for some nice outdoor strolls. ​ Bus wise the number 4 goes right by the University and is frequent cross city service from the west to the south. Gives you options towards Broomhill and Jordanhill in the West. Govanhill/Queens Park on the south side is 30/40 minutes away from the Uni. Govanhill you will hear mixed things about. Its one of those areas that are currently going through a process of gentrification. Its had really bad press recently but considered to be on the path to being trendy, especially with younger people. ​ On the number 3 bus route Shawlands is about 40 minutes plus a 5-10 min walk from the bus stop. Shawlands is often seen as an alternative to the West End for people looking for access to shops, cafes and some nice restaurants without the West End premium. With the other services I mentioned in my first post you are never really more than a 10 minute walk from the bus stop to the Uni on either corridor. Good luck on your search! by twoxraydelta (Thu 8th Jul 2021 9:39am)

  • Can always tell a lot about people by how they react to the success and failures of others. No shame in getting to a final of such a major tournament and losing on penalties. Congratulations to Italy. I’m sure many of our city’s Italian and Italian-Scots residents will be partying well into the night. Commiserations to England. Great effort by them. by twoxraydelta (Mon 12th Jul 2021 12:54am)

  • The historical records say England created football in the form we know it today. Theres plenty of books, and articles. A quick google I’m sure will throw up plenty.

  • Pretty much. Its kind of a PR stunt to engage with the local community and provide reassurance to the public. There has been a couple of high profile incidents near Buchanan St over the last couple of weeks so thats why they’ve done it there. by twoxraydelta (Mon 12th Jul 2021 5:05pm)
  • Hi. Dumbarton has some rough areas. They have been mentioned in above. Dumbarton East, And new builds at Lomondgate are nice. The town has decent amenities. Asda, M&S, Morrisons, fast food, all right next to each other. The High St is run down and often the hangout of the towns undesirables. There are a couples of decents pubs on the High St but I don’t know what the state of those will be post covid. The commute in and out of Dumbarton can be a nightmare. While generally a good train service, the lines often suffer faults, delays and cancellations for multiple reasons. Driving wise there is one road in and one road out towards Glasgow. When I commuted through the area it was almost weekly that something happened and caused major delays. If one lane closes it can cause hour long tailbacks. Very frustrating. If you drive I’d recommend taking trip through and check out the area. If you don’t drive, take a train down and do a little exploring. If Loch Lomond is your main motivator for Dumbarton then look anywhere in the West of Glasgow. Its easily reached by road and rail. by twoxraydelta (Tue 13th Jul 2021 3:06pm)

  • Getting a better rate when you’re there is an old wives tale. It might be true some places. It might be the opposite for others. So many factors involved. You rarely get the best rate anywhere by just walking up now. What currency are you going to be buying? In a modern world you will get best rates online. ICE followed by Ramsdens are usually best. The other option is to just withdraw money out of a cash machine at your destination. You’ll get the interbank rate then whatever fees your bank charge you. Will probably be competitive with the spread on the high street exchange rate. If dead set on exchanging cash at your destination, you can get English bank notes at HSBC or in the bank machine at the airport. by twoxraydelta (Thu 2nd Sep 2021 6:41pm)
  • 1: You will make friends naturally in Glasgow. Scottish people are generally more friendly and its part of the culture to provide hospitality to “guests.” That old folktale that in Scotland you are legally obliged to let a stranger use your toilet if they ask.. it comes from old Scots common law requiring hospitality to be shown to all guests. You will start off as a guest and become family in Scotland. In London, there are obviously more people but to actually go out and make friends, it seems to be people who are transient like you, or meeting people through specific clubs or meet-ups and social events. At Uni it will be very easy to meet friends, local and non local. 2: with just 400 miles between Glasgow and London, expect much of the same but with more rain. 3: Glasgow has a big food scene. It doesn’t have some of the world famous restaurants like London, or the uber popular social media hyped up places that all the z listers and influencers want to be seen at. There are of course the local “places to be seen.” There are some great Indian restaurants in the city. Mr Singhs is a Glasgow institution. India Quay (overlooking the squinty bridge) is another favourite of mine. The Chicken Tikka Masala was invented right in Glasgow, and is now Britains national dish. 4: SAFETY. A touchy subject. Glasgow has a reputation as a hard city. To outsiders, it has struggled to shake the reputation from the days of razor gangs, knife crime and gang culture. Most of the reputation came from gang-on-gang fighting and its highly unlikely that a sensible, normal citizen would get themselves caught up in trouble. Then or now. Its a city that recognises its past but has progressed massively in the last 15-20 years. There are of course poverty stricken areas of Glasgow with troublesome characters. Its like any big city. If you actively looked for trouble you can find it. Glasgow still has its fair share of nutters which is why they don’t have the same street crime problems as London. Muggings, moped gangs, street robberies are common in London, even if you are statistically unlikely to be a victim. That kind of criminal activity for a thug in Glasgow is like Russian roulette. Even the local women will beat them up and send them on their way. Central Londons transport network has Glasgow beaten though. For price, connectivity and multi modal transport. Not that Glasgow is terrible. Just the London Underground network is fantastic. by twoxraydelta (Thu 2nd Sep 2021 7:29pm)

  • 1 First Buses that travel along a common core route but branch off to different termini share a number. Their route is distinguished by a letter. For example the 4 goes to Newton Mearns. 4A goes to Eaglesham. Each company can set their own route number so you might find that McGills have a 38 and First have a 38 that go totally different directions. 2 The drivers can be grumpy or a lot of them can’t actually hear you through the 2 inch ned proof shield they sit behind. If you are buying a single ticket state your fare or destination. If you buy a day or weekly ticket, just ask for whatever ticket you want. If it helps with your anxiety you can buy your ticket in advance on the first bus mTicket app. Then just scan the QR code when you board. 3 bus companies in Glasgow are suffering from major staff shortages at the moment due to covid, sickness and people leaving the industry in their droves. 4 if you use First bus get the first bus app for route planning. by twoxraydelta (Tue 21st Sep 2021 9:48pm)

  • Hahaha wit. Who has been feeding you that shite. All police officers in the UK have powers of arrest all over the UK when pursuing a suspect. In cases like just now over COP26 where theres mutual aid, cross border police officers have the same powers as officers in the host country. Scottish police went to London during riots and Manchester after the bombings as part or mutual aid requests. by twoxraydelta (Sun 7th Nov 2021 9:15pm)

With the massive staff shortage they have at the moment theres a chance its counting down a bus thats cancelled because of staffing issues.

  • On average there is a home match every 2 weeks. Saturdays/Sundays at 3pm. The odd midweek games at 19:45/20:00 hours. Anybody who tells you its unsafe on match-day is talking nonsense. That applies to Ibrox or Parkhead. The areas around the stadiums are so well policed. The chances of a non football fan getting caught up in trouble are almost zero. Because its almost zero for football fans. At both Glasgow clubs 90% of the attendees are season ticket holders who will have their season tickets removed if involved in trouble in or around the stadium. The only time there is ever and real trouble is when the odd set of away fans from European countries come and cause trouble. Trouble often happens closer to the city centre. There has been two moments of disorder between Paisley Rd West and Edmiston Drive in 15 years that I have witnessed. First one was Man United fans in the 00’s. Second one was Osijek fans a couple of years ago. Police were on top of it quickly. Traffic and parking will be an issue on match days. Probably a 2 mile radius of the stadium becomes congested and full of parked cars. The council had plans for a match day no parking event zone that has stalled since covid. The retail facilities about the stadium busy during match-days. Asda etc. If you use public transport then they will also be extremely busy before and after the match. This seems to be where the highest level of professional bams surface. Buses and the Subway often have bucky fuelled neds being loud and obnoxious. Empty cans make the biggest noise though. I mean I don’t think it would be sensible to board the subway in a celtic jersey or walk through the Gallowgate in a Rangers top on matchdays so common sense applies. Fans enter and leave the area in every direction. Ibrox and Cessnock stations particularly busy. Fans will congregate at pubs right along Paisley Rd West and also on Copland Rd which will be busy several hours before each match. Ibrox itself is not an affluent area. Your immediate neighbours will have a greater impact on your quality of life than an event taking place every other week. Be aware if you are planning on living there longterm there are some construction projects that are taking place or may commence soon. At the corner of broomloan road and edmiston drive the large carpark will be getting turned into flats. And between Copland Rd and Ibrox Stadium Edmiston House is being rebuilt and in the future its planned small gigs, events and business meetings could take place there, as well as being a cafe and retail area. by twoxraydelta (Fri 12th Nov 2021 10:54am)

  • Not true. I don’t know your specific circumstances but COP has had a knock on effect on the entire city. For example the Expressway and Dumbarton Rd being closed has rerouted traffic through Govan and Paisley Rd West. During normal times when the M8 eastbound gets busy, motorists escape it by going through the Clyde Tunnel and on to the expressway. Now they are going into Sheildhall, Govan and Paisley Rd. The 34A goes through Shieldhall, Govan and a section of Paisley Rd West. Then there are other things to think about with a transport operation. Like the driver duty. They may drive a 75 on the first part of a shift and a 34 on the second part. They can get stuck in protest activity or delays while on a 75. They then become late for their break and because they are drivers, by law they must take that break before they can move on the next part of their duty on the 34. This means that the 34 gets cancelled until such times the driver is legally allowed to operate it. Very ifs and buts scenario but with the last few weeks thats the kind of disruption that happens. by twoxraydelta (Sun 14th Nov 2021 6:55pm)

  • Yeah, I can’t remember the full details of the story but its along the lines of there being high import duty to pay on cars. The fee is is based on the value of the car. The port authorities were less interested in where the cars came from, and more interested in making sure they get the revenue (and their cut) from the import fees. What the criminals/car dealers were allegedly doing is importing prestigious marque second hand cars and even trying to reduce the value of them by clocking UP the mileage so the tax and duty would be less. by twoxraydelta (Fri 19th Nov 2021 11:25am)

  • There is only one solution to your problem. An organic solution which requires the help of a top professional; 1- locate and visit an SSPCA centre 2- identify a smallish feline ball of fluff that does not seem to hate you (too much.) TIP: if not hissing then you two can probably cohabit 3- take said feline ball of fluff back to west end. IMPORTANT (ensure to check with your feline which pronouns they use.) 4- feed your new overlord some meaty and delicious snacks. Cool, you have now gained favour with the ruler, your King/Queen Fluffster McMeow . 5- go to bed as normal.

  • Every event I have been to there are checks. They only need to get a certain percentage of people though as it would be between impracticable and impossible to do it for everybody. Especially at the Hydro or the bigger football stadiums. For example at Hampden/Ibrox/Parkhead lets say for talking sake every single person must be checked. They put 100 stewards on to do checks, and it takes each person an average of 30 seconds to have their vaccine passport checked and then enter the stadium by scanning their ticket. Its a 416 man hours, spread it across 100 stewards at 100 turnstiles and it would take over 4 hours 10 minutes to get every body in the stadium. Meaning for a 3pm kick off they’d need to open the gates at 10:50am and for an 8pm kick off it would be 15:50 if everybody were to be in on time for kick off. For most venues these checks are an extra expense or hassle and they don’t really want to do them. They just need to comply with the ruling. They might get a load of checks done early on to meet their percentage of only be doing checks at a certain part like at Hampden they had a line of people along Somerville Dr. Enter at any other part and you went through unchecked. by twoxraydelta (Wed 24th Nov 2021 11:17am)

  • Ah sorry I misunderstood. Ticketer is the company who makes the technology so I thought the poster was referring to the unit in the driver cab. Its in preparation for “tap and cap” which is similar to the way it works in London where you will just tap on with contactless and because we don’t have flat fares up here you tap off too. The system will automatically charge you the correct fare for each journey. But if you travel 10 times in one day the maximum charge will be the price of a day ticket. And if you use the bus every day it will keep charging you for day tickets until it reaches the price of a weekly ticket. It means if you use contactless you don’t need to ask for a fare and wait for the drivers input before your card is charged. Should be quicker. by twoxraydelta (Wed 1st Dec 2021 10:17pm)
  • They’re just vibin these days by twoxraydelta (Wed 1st Dec 2021 10:38pm)
  • You would tap on with the driver then tap off at the unit on the pole. If the software and hardware works well together it should speed up boarding and not cause much of a delay for alighting passengers. Quick tap, beep and go. If you don’t tap off then the system will assume you have travelled to the end of the route and charge the full single fare for that service (up to the cap) so its in the users best interest to tap out and make sure they are only charged for the journey they actually made. Here is an example of the TFL system. It shows how quick it should work (in theory). Again on London buses its a flat fare so no tap out requirement but you do tap out on the Underground. https://youtu.be/dhnBHQ-JTbA by twoxraydelta (Thu 2nd Dec 2021 12:17am)

Glasgow Reddit is not the best place to collect advice on life beyond mums basement. by twoxraydelta (Tue 14th Dec 2021 8:22pm)
  • Ah right. So 30,000 people came to the city and didn’t affect COVID cases. So travel restrictions that split up families and couples the last year and a half were a load of shite. by twoxraydelta (Tue 14th Dec 2021 11:37pm)

  • Why would you go to the hassle of switching to a train when a number 17 bus goes up there and takes 40 mins to the CC? The number 2 bus also goes there and is one of the most frequent single line services in the country. Not everybody commutes to the city centre either so its a long way off from being “poor.” A train is not a prerequisite to good transport, although it certainly makes things better. Strathclyde is spoiled with a good suburban rail network that a lot of other cities can’t match. When you get to around Clydebank/Yoker/Scotstoun the express bus is more convenient and as quick, if not quicker than the train. by twoxraydelta (Wed 15th Dec 2021 2:57pm)
  • Mesh network is your answer. They just plug in to normal outlets. Where you have a shortage of outlets get an extension with USB sockets like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extension-Outlets-Protection-Individually-Switched/dp/B086X3XT56/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=2DB38GSEM7KQW&keywords=extension+plug+with+usb&qid=1639582695&smid=A2B4OIC4KEVMIW&sprefix=extension+plug+with%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-6 by twoxraydelta (Wed 15th Dec 2021 3:39pm)
  • Its a hybrid tracker. If the bus is in service and it can detect the GPS signal it will track the bus. If it doesn’t pick a GPS signal up then it will countdown the time the bus should be there. Reasons it doesn’t pick up the GPS could be; hardware/software fault, breakdown (and the ticket machine gets shut off), driver input error, service cancelled due to staff shortage. The system is not smart enough to detect the reason for being unable to detect the GPS of the bus so defaults to a scheduled countdown. by twoxraydelta (Wed 15th Dec 2021 6:24pm)
  • Your username suggests your bike was as good as a first bus πŸ˜€ by twoxraydelta (Wed 15th Dec 2021 6:54pm)
  • Its different 3rd party systems working together to provide the information. The ticket machines are from a company who are highly regarded across the industry, and they adapt their back office software for different operators. Glasgow was actually an early adopter and a benchmark for it in someways. Their capabilities handle everything from the obvious ticketing, GPS tracking, driver text messaging and so on. (They all have sim cards in them for mobile data). This is where the app pulls the data from. The problem with the live information is the software FirstGroup (UK wide) use to record their cancelled journeys. Its software that was originally built for Windows XP. There is no way to integrate it into the live app. So when a journey gets cancelled (i.e due to staffing shortage) the bus is in the depot with the ticket machine off. The live tracking app searches for that bus and can’t find it, so just displays the scheduled time. To have each cancelled journey show up in an app, with current systems, they would have to do a manual input, which becomes a full time job. I am guessing if they can’t even get staff to put their buses on the road, they are not going to pay someone to do that. They should at least code the app to have a footnote saying “bus scheduled, live tracking unavailable for this service” or something along those lines. by twoxraydelta (Wed 15th Dec 2021 11:20pm)

  • Its not left v right here in the real world. Away from the internet, the situation is more fluid. Football fans can quite often be anti-authority regardless of politics. Away from football, if you go on Glasgow buses or trains, you can probably move it into a different demographic. Its more about education and getting peoples trust here. The government were too soft from the get go and its gave everybody who doesn’t want to, or just can’t be bothered to wear a mask an out. Until they say, no mask, no travel, no exceptions then its really nobody elses business to question who and who doesn’t have an exemption. Sure as hell the transport staff don’t want the trouble. Even the BTP are not interested. Its unenforceable because of the way the government have set out the rules. by twoxraydelta (Sat 18th Dec 2021 7:39pm)
  • You can call it out. All I’m saying is somebody that parks like a banger probably has the personality of a banger, and they won’t take too kindly to somebody plastering “YOU’RE A CUNT” stickers all over their car. Thinking you’re getting one up on somebody by putting a sticker on their car is not worth a fight, or even worse, some sort of road rage incident, especially as a cyclist, who becomes vulnerable when some mad man chases them down the road. by twoxraydelta (Sat 18th Dec 2021 7:49pm)

  • Oft. Strap in for the downvotes. The r/glasgow crowd don’t like opinions that go against the gang on here. One thing I will say is that the wit, and funny banter does not carry over to reddit. About 90% of the Glasgow sub have no sense of humour, in contrast to the real people of this city. This sub is not a wide representative of the people of Glasgow. Vaccinations should be a personal choice. They do not stop the spread. A personal and social responsibility method needs to be adopted. If the government want people to believe in face maks they need to present the evidence that they actually work, then get tough on them. Having 1 million exemptions completely defeats the purpose. by twoxraydelta (Sat 18th Dec 2021 10:24pm)
  • Get some exercise in each day if you can to boost the mood. Focus on yourself. Even something as simple as giving yourself a couple or hours a day to read that book you never had time for or watch that TV show thats been in your watchlist for a year, and you never got round to it because you were focused on family. Ultimately, realise the fact that you deserve somebody who wants to be with you, and will put in the effort to make things work through the good and the bad times. If they aren’t prepared to do that then you are better off away from them. As much as it hurts. Hard times create strong men. by twoxraydelta (Sun 19th Dec 2021 12:38pm)

  • Most people on this sub live unfulfilling lives. They are most likely bullied or ignored in the real world and insignificant in their working lives. The only power they have in their existence is downvoting somebody who’s opinion they don’t like, and by joining a virtual gang to abuse people, on a subreddit that is a magnet for the city’s social outcasts. (Even the forum moderator likes to chime in and act like a cunt by making irrelevant comments. Don’t worry, calling them a cunt is perfectly allowable on this sub. Their own words.) The internet, this sub in particular, is a harbour for people who don’t do well in real world social situations to group together online, and feel a sense of belonging. A group. A gang. Hive mentality. Group think. A virtual 00’s Young Team but for adults who wouldn’t dare be controversial or voice their opinion so aggressively in person. Nobody can have an objective, reasonable debate or discussion. They pick a side and defend it to the death because its a popular opinion. They will downvote you and fall on that sword before they see reason. Life is not always about taking sides. Not everything is black or white. Not everything is left or right. by twoxraydelta (Tue 4th Jan 2022 4:08pm)

Interesting case, not a ruling that I personally agree with but it will be used in future court cases for the argument.

  • Its not even my point of view as I don’t agree with the ruling in the case. The case is interesting though. I am just pointing it out as its a fine line to tread now and the penalties for GDPR breaches can be catastrophic. I’m sure the defendant was in the papers afterwards saying he would lose his home through this. Mr Ned is innocent unless proven otherwise as far as the court is concerned. Neighbour disputes turn nasty quickly. Mr Ned may say he is being harassed or his neighbours are video recording his movements when entering and leaving his home. I would not expect to be recorded in a common close area unless there is CCTV fitted, and clearly signed. How would you feel if your neighbour was spying or recording you entering or exiting your property without your knowledge? Even if they think you are up to no good, its not for them to act as vigilante camera operator, while becoming judge, jury and executioner on your guilt. (Or Mr Neds in this case. Even if we all realistically know he is a bampot.) I would say that if recording has to take place, it would be down to the property owners to agree and install a CCTV system for the purposes of crime prevention and security, and clearly notify data subjects of that (sticker in the doorway is sufficient.) It’s the job of the police to investigate and find evidence of the neighbours wrongdoing. by twoxraydelta (Thu 6th Jan 2022 11:08pm)

So if your work uses IP telephony for example (or any applications that require a constant stable connection) you may well run into issues here or there, even with a decent connection strength.

When they want figures to show that they have reduced crime and people carrying blades they simply cut back on searches. “An x% reduction on people carrying blades” because they stopped proactively looking for them. by twoxraydelta (Fri 14th Jan 2022 2:04pm)

  • There might be bad pedestrians but pedestrians will always the most vulnerable road user. Drivers of motorised vehicles needs to accept that cyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable, and be responsible even when vulnerable road users are in the wrong, being thoughtless, or selfish. Cyclists must also take responsibility as pedestrians are more vulnerable than them. How many car drivers or motorcyclists blatantly blaze through red lights that have been solid for a period of time compared to cyclists. The junction at my work has a cycle lane. A couple of times a week I have to slam the brakes on to avoid flattening a cyclist who is blazing through a red light and doesn’t understand traffic patterns or the highway code. I’ve yet to make an emergency stop for a licensed driver at this junction. by twoxraydelta (Sun 16th Jan 2022 10:48am)

  • This stretch of cycle route is notorious and is often used as the local ned hangout. It has been used for gang fights in the past as well as just lobbing bricks at cars and people travelling underneath. Back in the old “A” division days of Strathclyde police, they would need to send multiple units or the carrier van with near enough the whole shift in it to deal with this area. Often the tactic was simply to send a car close by (visible but away from brick throwing distance). That was sometimes enough to send them running along the path out of sight and out of mind. Any non local with common sense would stay well away from the path on Friday and Saturday evenings. by twoxraydelta (Sun 16th Jan 2022 11:11am)

  • Look at areas on the Scotrail Suburban rail network and properties within walking distance of the local train stations. Milngavie was recommended in another comment, decent area to live, good town centre, train station is probably a 15 - 20 min walk from the areas where most of the denser housing is. Local bus 60A. Bearsden - highly sought after, higher prices but one of the most desired areas in Scotland, with property prices to match. Same rail line as Milngavie. Local bus 60A or 17 depending on which part. Clydebank is area dependent. Can probably get good rents. There are good parts, and some areas you may wish to avoid. Excellent transport links through the town though, servers by multiple train stations (Dalmuir, Clydebank, Singer, Drumry) and good bus services. Express buses from the town centre too. Old Kilpatrick (the village of) neighbouring Clydebank is quieter than Clydebank. Properties never last long on the market here. Dumbarton is becoming very popular now. Loch Lomond on your door step. New build properties springing up and popular developments throughout the town. There are some areas not so desirable. The town centre is a bit run down, but most of the locals shop in the nearby retail park. Other areas you may wish to consider: Giffnock, Newton Mearns, East Kilbride, Robroyston, Paisley, Hamilton. Most towns surrounding Glasgow have good transport links. Properties in the desirable areas are being snapped up within days. by twoxraydelta (Fri 21st Jan 2022 12:15pm)

  • Nuffield is good. Not for profit organisation and sells itself as more of a complete health club with the gym only being part of it. Generally I just want to be left alone to work out but there are additional services available if you want to take them on. Sometimes I will use the cafe. Later in the mornings and early afternoon the gym floor is usually quiet. Busy times in Giffnock will be early morning classes 7-10, evening classes, and Saturday mornings when the whole family rock up for swimming etc. I stopped going Saturdays because of the amount of kids running riot around the gym and changing room. Although after 3pm it dies a death. Can have the place to yourself sometimes. (Although not in Jan because there are loads of new members.)

  • Over 150 electric buses between First and McGills being put into service in Glasgow right now part funded by Scot Gov. 100% of bus journeys in the City Centre must be Euro VI standard by the end of the year. Already 80% requirement just now. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Jan 2022 12:08pm)

  • I don’t know the exact numbers but would hazard a guess at it still being a small proportion of the fleet(s) even when the 150 all enter service. (Around 1/6 being fully electric.) Glasgow did have a very small number of electric buses running over the last 2 years almost as a guinea pig service, and a lot of hybrids from 2015 onwards. The latest order is over the current 18 month period. You can see some of them already on the road on the First 9, First 75 and McGills 38. Most of them being built in Falkirk too. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Jan 2022 12:55pm)
  • Patronage is fragmented across the route. If you look at a bus on Renfield St and Union St during the day it will likely be quiet because it has just dumped its passengers on Renfrew St. If you look at the 60A Milngavie - Easterhouse for example it carries lots of local traffic throughout the route. Milngavie - Milngavie TC & ASDA. ASDA - Maryhill. Maryhill - Maryhill Tesco. Whole route - City. Duke St - Forge. Forge to Shettleston. Shettleston to the Fort. The Fort and Easterhouse shops to Easterhouse. Looking at it traversing the City Centre doesn’t tell the full story. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Jan 2022 1:16pm)

  • It’s the plate for the vehicle that costs a fortune. Taxi numbers are restricted in Glasgow so supply and demand dictated the cost of the plate. Used to be £30-40k pre covid. Technically the plates are non transferable so what should happen is a one out one in system for new vehicle licenses being issued. When a driver retires the plate is supposed to be handed back to the council and they would reissue to a new vehicle. But instead people were registering the plate to a limited company, so when they retire from the trade they can sell the Taxi Business ltd company that owns the plate. by twoxraydelta (Wed 23rd Feb 2022 11:02pm)

  • 1. Just use the app, buy your ticket before hand, you will get a QR code and that removes 90% or your worries and stress. What is your regular journey/route we can better help with more info? 2. cheapest way is via the app. In the near future “tap and cap” will be the cheapest and easiest way when it goes live. 3. you or somebody at the stop flags down the bus by extending your hand. If you don’t, and nobody is getting off you run the risk of the bus flying by. 4. most buses stop at all bus stops along the route. Main exception being the city centre where the stops are split to reduce congestion. First bus have [help cards](https://www.firstbus.co.uk/uploads/node_images/Extra-Help-To-Travel-Cards-a19.pdf) on their website that you can flash to the driver. Alternatively to ease your social anxiety, hang at the back of the queue so you don’t feel rushed by people behind you, and just let the driver know your hearing isn’t the best when you get on.

  • The bendy buses spent their last years in Glasgow on the number 9 from Drumchapel - Linwood. You could also get them on “peak time specials” on the likes of the 18, 66 from town to Busby, and on the 62 to Baillieston until a driver got tangled up between the narrow road through the scheme and some roadside fencing. Interestingly the turn into Drumchapel station will be one of the narrowest passages for any bus to take on the entire network, and that used to be done with bendy buses on the daily. I think the story was they cost a fortune to maintain and ran through so much fuel that they had to be back in the depot by a certain time. The last one came off the road by 9pm, but they would be gradually swapped out every evening from 5:30pm onwards. They were also not used on Sundays for that reason.

There are plenty of words that are not offensive by law, but how you use them can be offensive. Like if I calling you a daft wank. Daft = not illegal Wank = not illegal Name calling and insults = potentially offensive. There is no moral high ground to take. No mental gymnastics needed. The point is times change and attitudes evolve. You can’t have it all ways. Using language that stoke the flames of hatred and bigotry leave you stuck in times gone by, even if the individual word is not proscribed in law. You don’t get to decide what offends someone else. There are plenty of actions and behaviours that are not illegal, but still make you a bit of a cunt if you participate in them. by twoxraydelta (Tue 15th Mar 2022 10:59pm)

  • Not so clear imo. Some groups do consider it sectarian these days. You have ofcom who say it’s not offensive. The courts have provided a not proven verdict on somebody being charged for a breach aggravated by religious prejudice. That must be about 10-15 years ago now. People have been prosecuted under section 38 for their behaviour while using the word hun. Not necessarily the word itself. If you think about how the use of the word has evolved. Mainly a term used to describe Rangers fans in the past you would say? But these days Hearts fans get called huns. I’ve seen groups of unionists called huns on this very forum and elsewhere even though their football allegiances are not on display. So the next time it goes to court, that previous not proven might turn into a guilty if a lawyer convinces the court it was used in such in such a manner, as the word is applied beyond a footballing divide and into the political and possibly religious spectrum. by twoxraydelta (Tue 15th Mar 2022 11:40pm)

  • It’s baked into the Glasgow mentality that black hacks are the biggest rip off, but with some of these ridiculous prices I am seeing from GlasGo and Uber journeys, they might actually be the better option. You know what you’re getting on the meter. Roughly £2.20 a mile. by twoxraydelta (Sun 27th Mar 2022 8:05pm)
  • Never had that issue personally. Meter always on for journeys within the city. Anything out of the “boundary” has always been agreed on in advance (which is when they turn it off) or it’s meter plus 1/3. Defo had a few chancers ask for £40 for a fare that is £20 on the meter though. by twoxraydelta (Sun 27th Mar 2022 10:51pm)
  • I think a mixture of both is the sweet spot. My old commute home involved crawling through the west end in bumper to bumper traffic. One day I got a taxi home, and as soon as we hit the wall to wall traffic the driver started making a few turns and ducking in and out of some side streets that I would have never thought of, and the sat nav would never direct me down. The end result was negotiating a few extra turns and junctions but cutting out a lot of time sitting in traffic. by twoxraydelta (Sun 27th Mar 2022 11:41pm)

  • To the event: Bus services from Union St (east side of central station): 6 service towards East Kilbride, get off at Battlefield Rd/Langside College and walk ahead for 2 mins to arrive at the West stand of the stadium 75 service towards Castlemilk, get off at the stop for Hampden Park and arrive directly opposite the east stand of the stadium. X31 special event service - cash or card only no cards accepted. Railway: trains from Central to Mount Florida. Usually extra event trains running. Taxis: Plenty will be available across the city to get to the event. Walk: if its a nice night. Recommend you follow Stockwell St, Gorbals St, Cathcart Rd. Practically a straight walk all the way, will take about 45-60 mins. It has some minor inclines. Returning to the city centre: Railway will be busy, expect long queues. Roads will be jam packed so taxis will be hit or miss and may be expensive. Best bet for a bus is at the ‘Hampden Park and Ride’ bus stances on the east side of the stadium off of Aitkenhead Rd. 75 service or the X31 event buses. Or again if it is a nice night, walking back from the stadium may be a decent option. by twoxraydelta (Wed 30th Mar 2022 7:23pm)
  • The problem with first bus CS is they centralised it. So now you’re asking a call centre agent in Leeds about local info in Glasgow, and they can’t really tell you anything more than what you can find yourself on the first bus website. by twoxraydelta (Thu 31st Mar 2022 8:35pm)
  • When it goes live it will be a similar system to London with daily and weekly capped fares. When you get on you will tap on with the driver, and tap off on the reader. It is in your interest to tap off, because if you don’t, it will charge you for travelling all the way to the terminus. Example if a single journey is £2, the daily cap is £5 and the weekly cap is £15 Two journeys a day will charge £4 to your card on days 1/2/3, on the 4th day £3 where it hits the weekly cap of £15, and on day 5/6/7 nothing because you hit the weekly cap on day 4. 3 journeys per day would charge £5 on day 1/2/3 until you hit the cap. by twoxraydelta (Thu 31st Mar 2022 8:45pm)
  • Money and privatisation. TFL is a not for profit organisation and their bus services are heavily subsidised. Almost all other cities, public transport is run for profit by private companies, rather than for the benefit of the city. by twoxraydelta (Fri 1st Apr 2022 7:55am)
  • It’s not that they don’t have the baws, it’s just not worth the hassle. What do they get paid these days? Whatever it is, it’s not enough to deal with the hassle of fighting with jakeys, having to fill reports in on unpaid time after their shift, possibly deal with the polis, possibly end up as a court witness, while being disciplined by their company for leaving the cab to get involved in an altercation. That’s the reality for those guys and girls. Drivers are on their bus for 5 hours. Bams are on it for about half an hour. The quicker they get on with the route, the quicker the dregs get off. For the passenger, they may remember a journey plagued with bams for a long time because they were intimidated/scared/annoyed/amused. For a driver it’s literally a multiple times per shift occurrence. by twoxraydelta (Fri 1st Apr 2022 2:06pm)
  • Just buy your ticket on the app before hand and it saves you any awkward communications with the driver. You get a QR code, scan it and take a seat. What area did you ask for that they didn’t know? by twoxraydelta (Fri 1st Apr 2022 2:10pm)
  • No button to call the police out. It’s a panic siren that has no direct link to anything, and a messaging system where they can text the bus control centre. Still involves them filling reports out and contacting the company incident team after their shift. Can take an hour and they don’t get paid for it. Polis aren’t rushing out on blues for a couple of rockets smoking on the bus either. They have their own staffing issues to contend with. by twoxraydelta (Fri 1st Apr 2022 2:25pm)

  • If you need a bus back into the city you can walk through the overpass/tunnel at the side of the Hydro and head to either St Vincent St for a 2 (which will take you to the bottom end of town) or Sauchiehall St near Kelvingrove/Sandyford Hotel and get a 3 or 77. 3 stops at the Royal Conservatoire/Citizen M and 77 goes into the bus station. Check the times though as they will be few and far between later on in the evening. There is also a taxi rank right outside the Hydro. Prob £7-9. by twoxraydelta (Fri 1st Apr 2022 11:48pm)

  • 9/10 residents in Earl St are good, law abiding people. 1/10 residents are total bams.* . *this statistic is not backed up by any scientific data. If you are looking for a fight on Earl St you can probably find one. If you’re looking to live a quiet life and use the local road/transport network and shops to your advantage you are probably just fine. The young bams tend to hang around at the park, then they get promoted to the cycle path behind Earl St where they drink, fight, throw bricks and chase naive cyclists who dare take the route outside of school hours. Viewing the flat is recommended. Scout the area in street view then scout the area when you view the flat. Everybody is looking for something different. by twoxraydelta (Sat 2nd Apr 2022 6:52pm)
  • Somebody mentioned on a post the other day that part of the taxi shortage is down to the council taking nearly a year to issue badges.

You just started making assumptions. I don’t really care for your assumptions whether they are right or wrong. You’re a rando on reddit. We are going round and round like an extended trip on the Glasgow Subway here. My whole argument is against the blanket statement. I’m not denying Rangers fans join the lodge, or that Orangemen CAN be Rangers fans, or even a majority of members in a Glasgow lodge may be Rangers fans. But if you look and see where I jumped into the conversation under the comment “not all Rangers fans are orangemen, but all Orangemen will be Rangers fans.” The statement is simply false. by twoxraydelta (Thu 7th Apr 2022 1:03pm)

You’re going to speak to your neighbours in a neighbourly fashion and let them know their music is disrupting other people in the building. You must come across like a right cunt if your life experience of approaching people is a 50/50 chance of them being decent or terrorising you. by twoxraydelta (Thu 14th Apr 2022 10:23am)
  • We’re talking about two young professionals playing COD and listening to tunes here. It’s not about being nice, it’s certainly not about challenging people and complaining. You can solicit a rational response from nearly anybody by knowing how to speak to them. That applies to the hardest people in the city, timid weaklings, the rich and the poor. “Hey big guy, any chance you could keep the tunes down after X o’clock. I’m up at 5am and the walls in these buildings are paper thin.” Just reading the comments on here; “go to the press” “Record them” “Report them” That’s part of the reason they need to sit in their house to enjoy themselves, because if they go anywhere else some freak is waiting with a camera phone to shove in their face, get the next viral video, or play football point scoring. by twoxraydelta (Thu 14th Apr 2022 10:47am)

  • The OP is exaggerating. When you use the word parties you invoke an image of unruly behaviour and large gatherings in peoples heads. I have a fair idea who this post refers to and if I’m right, the reality is completely different from what is being portrayed here. It’s a case of them being young and living away from home. They have their family and mates up for company. They’ll be hanging out and playing Fifa or COD, granted tunes are probably up loud. I would have a fair guess they don’t realise how much they are affecting their neighbours. To add to that, professional footballers having “non stop parties” is a complete non starter. They get one day off a week sometimes, spend some of that living in a hotel, and every day in work their performance is scientifically monitored down to every heartbeat using a £10k sports vest. by twoxraydelta (Thu 14th Apr 2022 11:20am)

If you don’t already have tickets, [VIP tickets are are available directly from Rangers](https://hospitality.rangers.co.uk/en-GB/hospitality/harry%20styles-%20love%20on%20tour/2022-6-11_16.00/ibrox%20hospitality%20lounges). The sound system at Ibrox has been upgraded in the last few years and it is LOUD and clear. Of course this will also be supplemented with concert specific equipment. As others suggested, hotel in the city centre is your best option. Getting to and from the event on the night: Subway - best option - pay in the station, takes 15 minutes. There is a station named Ibrox so you won’t miss it. Buses: First Bus service 9 or 10. McGills buses number 38. You can pay on the bus using contactless/apple pay or cash. Or buy tickets before travel on the First Bus app. Personally would avoid the bus after the event due to traffic. Taxi’s are fine to the event, but will be unlikely to be anywhere in sight afterwards due to the traffic. You can hop in one at any of the city centre ranks. Most hotels have one close by. Uber is here but the service has deteriorated massively. There is a Glasgow Taxis app that you can download and use to hail a taxi and get a fixed price similar to uber. You can also pay by card through this. Not all taxis you hail off the street will accept card. But all taxis booked through the app will. American Express is not accepted everywhere so just be aware of that, although I rarely encounter Amex issues these days unless it’s a small retailer. Discover is not accepted many places. If your cards don’t already have contactless capability (some US providers have been slow on the uptake) it’s worth asking them upgrade you as it will make life a lot easier once you get here. Food wise, another vote for Mr Singhs. If you like chinese food, Lychee Oriental is good too. Get drunk and then get a Doner Kebab to truly initiate yourself into Glasgow life. Just don’t ask what’s in it. by twoxraydelta (Fri 15th Apr 2022 1:47am)
  • From Paisley Rd West get a 9 or 10 into Oswald St. walk along to Argyle St at the corner of Queen St and get a 2, 61, 240, or 255 to Parkhead. On the way back, 2 or 61 to Howard St opposite St Enoch Sq, walk round the corner to Jamaica St and get a 9 or 10 back to Ibrox. All are (or should be) high volume frequent services, so should not be waiting around too long. You could take the 90 but it goes around the entire South Side of the city first. If walking around the city centre to change services is not ideal for you (i.e you work late in the evening or something) you can take a 9 into the Bus Station and change there to a 240/255. by twoxraydelta (Fri 15th Apr 2022 10:51am)
  • It’s always the same stand, so once you know what stand you need to go to it will be the same all of the time. There is a large board in the station that tells you. You can also search your service on this website and it will tell you what stance the bus leaves: https://bustimes.org by twoxraydelta (Fri 15th Apr 2022 12:38pm)

  • How far away from the stadium do you live? I’ve been to probably over 30 games involving “the other two” and I’ve genuinely never witnessed any mass brawls. The vicinity of the event is so well policed, and fans kept segregated the police are rarely found wanting in these fixtures around the event. When there is trouble it is usually well away from the ground. There have been isolated incidents like the bus that went down Aitkenhead instead of Cathcart. Pishin’ on peoples property is bang out though. Hate that. by twoxraydelta (Sat 16th Apr 2022 10:38am)
  • Those two fixtures can be just as toxic to be honest but I know what you mean. It’s a draw out of a hat type situation though. Just so happens this time around the derby games were paired up up which was like a 1/3 chance. by twoxraydelta (Sat 16th Apr 2022 11:21am)
  • We’re discussing the event zone though which is well policed and controlled, not the entirety of The Royals a&e catchment area. We’re all aware of the societal issues of Glasgow. You can walk into The Royals’ a&e on any Friday and Saturday night and see the violence that haunts this City. by twoxraydelta (Sat 16th Apr 2022 4:37pm)
  • One of their drivers mentioned a few weeks ago that he just clocked off from a 13 hour shift on a Friday evening, the company sent out a message notifying drivers that there were 280 jobs waiting in the system with no drivers, if anybody wanted to earn extra money. I think it was said too that even though you pre book, the job doesn’t actually go live in the system until its near time to get picked up, so if there are no drivers you are screwed basically. They don’t allocate a driver a job that far in advance so pre booking is little help under the current circumstances. I use the Gett app or the Glasgow Taxi’s app now. Both connect you to “black hacks”, but you will be allocated the nearest driver, and you can see on the map where the nearest available cabs are, like uber. You can pay by card through the app too. Even if it might be a few quid more expensive, it’s better to be £4 worse off, than lose an hour of your time waiting around for a private that may or may not show up. by twoxraydelta (Sat 16th Apr 2022 7:18pm)

  • On the Gett app when you book in advance, the drivers can actually go on and schedule themselves in for your fare. So advanced bookings on there will actually have a driver allocated ahead of time, rather than leaving it to chance. by twoxraydelta (Sun 17th Apr 2022 9:04am)
  • All the taxi dinosaurs moan about uber, but it’s their pre historic attitudes that have allowed Uber to slip in and take their work. Moaning about cards, refusing fares because its not the kind of fare they want. Too short. Too long. Not long enough. Their excuse of waiting days for their money or high fees for card acceptance is BS excuse too. Anybody on a salary waits between a week and a month for their wages. You can get card readers that pay out the following day and charge like 1.75%. Business bank accounts charge around 0.7% when paying in cash, so you are looking at £1 extra in fees on every £100 you make, but you make less trips to the bank, and reduce liability on fraudulent notes and theft. Of course it’s nothing to do with fees or cash flow. It’s about having to declare the full amount of all card payments as revenue. by twoxraydelta (Sun 17th Apr 2022 9:20am)
  • Hilton and Marriott hotels have individual policies for each hotel so you could check with them. I’ve stayed at Hiltons while under 18 while alone, although not booked directly by me.

  • Listed buildings are buildings of local/regional/national historic importance, and protected for future generations. I.e they cannot just be pulled down by a land owner. Often very old buildings with unique architecture, and often on a piece of land with high value. Now if these buildings are damaged beyond repair by say…. A hell raising fire… there isn’t really a structure left to preserve anymore. In their post blaze state they usually present a safety hazard and will need to be torn down, sometimes at the expense of the public purse. Oh would you look at that, now the landowner has a nice clear plot of land to build some trendy, revenue generating student accom or soulless copy and paste-design flats, without that pesky abandoned listed building in the way. by twoxraydelta (Sun 24th Apr 2022 5:51am)

  • First to rock up, the beautiful women and handsome chaps of the sub, fresh from their subreddit recommended salons. Full of confidence they get the party started. It starts off swimmingly, as the food and wine gets flowing. Next to arrive are our lonely posters. They’ve been on relentlessly posting about meet-ups in the westend and where they can find new friends in Glasgow. They are keen, so they are early, they just didn’t want to be first. Next along are our sheltered posters. They don’t know much about the real world but they gon’ learn today! Aw fuck, here come the young team, (and the auld team,) decked head to toe in red lacoste trackies. Everybody gets a bit nervous, especially the sheltered kids, but when bucky and mad dog start flowing, tensions are eased. MC Chico entertains with a surprisingly skilful lyrical flow over 130 bpm bam beats. The LGBT team arrive next. Arguably the life and soul of the party, they add spice and flavour to this otherwise very beige and pastry orientated picnic. Always up for a laugh and rarely judgemental, they form an unexpected bond with the neds as this picnic becomes a tonic wine fuelled fiesta. The football fans show up. They are shunned by the rest of the group, but as everybody is wearing a somewhat neutral red, its fairly mild mannered. Sometimes blue and green join forces to slag people who don’t know the offside rule anyway. Moving away from football, and into political factions, The Greens step off the number 3 bus team handed. This being at the same time as a convoy of Vauxhall Corsas pull up - its all the people who asked about driving instructors. There is hunners of them, and they have been doing laps of the toon. They are accosted by the greens. A fight breaks out. Rangers and Celtic fans have worked each other out. Its hun this. Fenian that. Not wanting to be outdone by “a bunch of hippies” they start getting tore into each other. A sheltered kid asks everybody to just be friends. He’s told in unison “shut up ya mad Partick Thistle fan.” Just as you think it can’t get any worse, an orange walk enters the park. Carnage of nuclear proportions. Even the sheltereds are kicking off now. There are zero posts on this sub between the Friday of the picnic and Monday afternoon because everybody done a weekender. We all have criminal records.

  • It’s a shared space that everybody needs to use considerately and responsibly. Unfortunately there are way too many utter cunts that are let loose on the roads in all categories of users. Driving standards are shocking in recent years. Every road user needs to look out for other road users who are more vulnerable than them, even in instances where the vulnerable road user is at fault. Bus/HGV drivers have a higher responsibility than car drivers > car drivers have a higher responsibility than cyclists > cyclists have a higher responsibility than pedestrians. I cycle myself for leisure so I don’t have a gripe against cyclists, but they are disproportionately bad road users because so many have no real understanding of the rules of the road. There is a particular junction on a popular route where almost daily I see cyclists nearly getting themselves in serious accidents because they just don’t understand traffic patterns. by twoxraydelta (Sat 7th May 2022 9:12pm)

  • Looks like Brooklyn by twoxraydelta (Wed 11th May 2022 12:27pm)
  • Do you have a visa sorted or UK citizenship via family? Otherwise you won’t be able to just move here for more than 6 months, and any extended stay is likely to be met with questions at the UK border. Pollokshields East, Glasgow Central etc are neighbourhoods. Budget dependent, I’d recommend plugging the following areas into Rightmove and Google Maps to get a feel for them. West; Kelvinbridge, Kelvinside, North Kelvinside, Finnieston, Partick, Woodlands, Hillhead, Broomhill, Hyndland - each of these areas will have you close by to pubs, restaurants and the rail or subway network into the city centre. South; Strathbungo, Shawlands, Battlefield are all along popular commuting routes to the city centre. These lists are not exhaustive, and are probably some of the most in demand so your search can be expanded a little to find something cheaper. Glasgow has good cycling routes and there are hordes of cyclists around so pretty much being “cycling distance away” is limited to your personal preference/fitness. If you are close by to a subway station or rail station that is a good start. Most have cycle racks. If you are within say 6 miles of the city centre you will have a good bus service too. This sub will be quick to let you know how terrible the buses are in Glasgow at the moment. They may be right, but it still better than the bus transit services I’ve experienced in North American cities. by twoxraydelta (Thu 12th May 2022 8:47am)

If you like to walk out your front door and be met with queues of buses, junkies stoating about out their box, shitey vandalism and litter everywhere then maybe. Personally, I’d be choosing Orchard Dr over Oswald St any day of the week.

  • Ibrox as an area has no strong football affiliation beyond match days. It’s very much a mixed community. by twoxraydelta (Tue 17th May 2022 10:34am)
  • It’s evident that many commenters on this sub have never been to Ibrox and live in some sort of fantasy world, that because there happens to be football stadium there, then everybody who lives there must support that team. Those comments come from idiots tbh. The government statistics blow that right out of the water. Ibrox is a mixed community. (Side note: before it was the Louden, the Ibrox Bar on Copland Rd was a “Celtic pub” on non match days.) On match day the area will become overrun with Rangers supporters. Part and parcel of living in an area with a major event arena. As for being Irish it won’t be an issue. Thousands of people come over from Ireland and Northern Ireland for every game, which includes members of The Dublin Loyal supporters group. If you happen to find yourself amongst a crowd of football supporters who hear your accent they will assume you have just travelled over for the game. Anybody who is stupid enough to take an issue with you being Irish is probably too stupid to distinguish between NI and ROI accents anyway. If the flat is right next to a pub then it is going to be very busy on match days. The area around the stadium is policed to a high standard on match days. Traffic is brutal around the start and end of the match. A lot of people who live in Ibrox are living in poverty. It’s not an affluent area. It has brilliant transport links with the subway, and a bus service with a combined frequency of about every 3 minutes into the city centre. If you like going to concerts then it’s walkable to the Hydro and SEC event campus. There is also some nice green space close by if you want to go for a walk and escape the traffic. by twoxraydelta (Tue 17th May 2022 11:07am)
  • The arena has no relation to the demographics. by twoxraydelta (Tue 17th May 2022 11:29am)
  • The way their system works needs looked at. It was fine when there was an oversupply of taxis pre covid, but now that demand outstrips supply, it doesn’t work. When you pre book, it doesn’t really give you any benefit, because the booking only goes live on their system a few minutes before you are due to be picked up. For any advanced bookings I’ve been using Gett (kinda like Uber for black cabs.) The drivers can see your booking in advance and assign themselves to it up to a week in advance. Private hire firms have been notoriously operated by unscrupulous characters due to the high volume of cash that runs through the businesses. The Glasgow Taxi’s black cab company is a Friendly Society run for the benefit of its members and is probably the one where you will get the most professionalism. Defo recommend the Gett app for advanced bookings though, haven’t been let down yet. by twoxraydelta (Thu 19th May 2022 11:49am)
  • Balloch? I know there is an Ice Cream parlour there. Can’t vouch for the quality of it tbh, but you have Lomond Shores, the aquarium and the country park close by. Easy to get to as well by road or rail (if the trains are actually running.) by twoxraydelta (Thu 19th May 2022 11:56am)
  • For fleet operators high volumes of cash can still run through the business. It’s not only fares from customers they deal with, but also renting cars out to drivers, trading in taxi plates and even selling off their used cars. by twoxraydelta (Thu 19th May 2022 1:16pm)
  • The local bus [transit] services in the US are all owned or at least under the control of the local city or county governments. They are ran for the benefit of the city and its population. Even the airports are all under government control. If the transport infrastructure does not make a profit they are not too fussed. They see them as essential services to bring people into their cities to conduct business and spend money. In the UK we are nearly all privatised and operating on a for profit. by twoxraydelta (Fri 20th May 2022 11:15am)

  • This is where you’re confusing salary and class. Not everyone with successful careers and businesses aspire to be living in the West End, Bearsden or The Mearns. Everybody has different goals and perceptions of success in life. I know people *living* in Drumchapel who do 6 figures. For someone from a working class background, moving from a council house to a mortgaged property in the Drum is success and happiness for them. They are close to family, they reinvest their money into their business, their employees and life experiences for their family. I know middle class people who wouldn’t be caught dead in Drumchapel and are more likely to spend obscene proportions of their salary maintaining their image and perceived social status. by twoxraydelta (Mon 23rd May 2022 10:18pm)
  • Mate thats some rant you’ve just went on there. Half of it doesn’t even make sense. Nobody is saying someone on a low-average salary can’t aspire to live in more expensive areas but living in those areas doesn’t change your social class either. If you’re on £1.2k and rattling £800 on your mortgage/rent for a place in Dowanhill then it’s not the best management of funds. Unless your entire life goal is just to life in a specific area, then it’s an investment in your dreams. Seems like a bit if a touchy subject for you tbh. Is your budget maybe a bit stretched on your gaff? Also, more than just the outskirts of Drumchapel is private housing. Your comments show you don’t know the area well at all. by twoxraydelta (Mon 23rd May 2022 11:07pm)

  • The park at Duchall Pl is where the young neds hang about and lob rocks at passing buses. The cycle path behind Earl St is where the older neds and gangs of youths hang around and drink. They generally do this to stay out of sight of the police as they don’t want to be seen. But probably not advisable to be walking along the cycle path at 8pm on a Friday unless you’re the Yoker Fleeto looking for a fight. You’re unlikely to get caught up in trouble in Earl St if you don’t go looking for it. Any trouble that happens would likely be people known to each other. That being said it’s not an affluent area and there is lots of social housing in the mix. If you end up with some bad neighbours who are constantly out of their face, partying, and have no respect for their surroundings then life could be hell. If your immediate neighbours are ok then you should be fine. There is a bus stop right at Duchall Pl. transport and road links are good. Best advice is to do what you are doing, go up and check the area out, check the property and the common areas out. You’re not going to need body armour to go to the shops but Scotstoun/Earl won’t be for everybody. by twoxraydelta (Thu 26th May 2022 2:51pm)
  • If you look on a map, the cycle path is directly south of the flats on Earl St, between the flats and the industrial area. It’s an old railway line and it’s raised so you won’t accidentally stumble into it and the nearest access points to where you will be is on Balmoral St, or Ardsloy Pl at the western end of Earl St. by twoxraydelta (Thu 26th May 2022 4:56pm)

  • Start at St Enoch in the Crystal Palace. Easy and cheap meeting point. Bridge St: The Laurieston West St: unless you fancy a pint of industrial pollution you are gona stay on the train Shields Rd: you could go to Malaga tapas 5 minutes away on St Andrews Dr, otherwise you’ll skip here as well and get off at Kinning Park for The Bellrock Cessnock: if you skipped Malaga tapas theres some food here. The Beruit Star or Shawarma Grill before getting a drink in The Kensington. Ibrox: unless The Louden is open and all of your party is happy to drink in a Rangers pub then its straight on to Govan: Step into the 1990’s at Brechins Bar, where a guy called Davie can get you DVD’s of films that are still in post production. If you need something more modern like IPTV on a ready made fire stick yer man has that as well. Then its on to - Partick: yer lightweight pals will regroup here and head straight into the newsagents for a bottle of water before going round to the Deoch An Dorus to continue on this train on madness. Partick is where some soldiers will be left behind and your battalion will be short of a couple of bodies. The hardcore continue on to Kelvinhall: you have a bit of a choice here but you’re at the stage of the night where The Quarter Gill will be more on the level of this crowd of outer circle steamers. Hillhead: Ashton Lane does not want this smoke so it will be Tennents bar for the crowd. Some sly dogs who are not team players will fall away from the group and will stay in Vodka Wodka as the journey carries on. Kelvinbridge: is where the people who were raging about The Louden get to feel better at Kitty O’Sheas. St Georges Cross: if you skipped The Louden and there were people unhappy about Kitty O’Sheas the playing fields are levelled here at The Royalty Bar. You thought you got away with it. Think again. The Castle Vaults is always available. Cowcaddens: you could get off and to to MacConnels but everybody is pished and will struggle to navigate so it’s right into Buchanan St: where the world is your oyster, or the bus up the road is close by. by twoxraydelta (Tue 31st May 2022 10:47pm)

  • You can purchase your ticket all of those ways. If you want to buy in advance download the First Bus mTicket app. Personally recommend using the tap on-tap off system where the cheapest fares for your journey will be calculated, and you will be charged accordingly. The tapping system has just recently went live in Glasgow because our public transport is in the stone-age compared to London, so some people still don’t know about this. Bus, rail, and subway are all operated by different organisations (and in the case of buses, multiple bus companies, with First Bus being the main one.) There is a multi modal ticket available from SPT (the regional transport administrator), but if you’re planning to stay pretty central and not use rail then I’d recommend just using the bus tap on/off system and buy subway tickets in the station. by twoxraydelta (Tue 7th Jun 2022 5:29am)

My cousin is Irish and lives in Ibrox. The biggest problem she has is the traffic. Her boyfriend does not live close by, so drives over at the weekend and often gets held up in traffic or has issues getting parked, which is par for the course if you live next to a major event arena. by twoxraydelta (Tue 7th Jun 2022 8:03pm)
  • Been using Gett recently and Glasgow Taxis recently. It’s hackneys and more expensive but they show up. For advanced bookings on Gett the driver can actually go in and assign themselves the trip ahead of time and schedule their day accordingly, as opposed to GlasGo’s system where your prebooked trip only cause live on the system 10 minutes before pick up. If there are no cabs available then you’re gubbed. by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Jun 2022 8:33am)
  • Network is GlasGo now too by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Jun 2022 9:45am)
  • Think they are trying to buy up the whole city. Only found out recently when I clicked the link for the app on their website and it took me to the GlasgGo app. Twitter linked to GlasGo as well :/ https://networkprivatehire.com/ by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Jun 2022 9:50am)
  • Buses are subject to the LEZ as well. They have actually already been phasing it in for years where a certain percentage of services have had to meet euro 6. The latest euro 6 buses have start-stop too, so major reduction in idling. There is already a large portion of electric vehicles in service, with more on order. The plan is that the entire fleet will be electric / hydrogen eventually. Older vehicles will gradually be phased out. The big First Bus depot on Cathcart Rd will have an all electric fleet within a year. by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Jun 2022 10:48am)
  • GlasGo operates the same as every other private hire firm has historically operated. I don’t get what you mean by 3rd party service v actual taxi company. They are all private hire booking offices, who pass on bookings to self employed drivers. Only difference with GlasGo is the scale of their operation. Their service is shite because of the well known driver shortage. by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Jun 2022 2:38pm)
  • Their app is good, I use them too and defo more drivers on it, but I’m the same with the pre booking. I don’t know how it is handled. I’ve been using Gett for peace of mind since a driver told me he can see all the pre-booked trips for the next 7 days. by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Jun 2022 6:16pm)

  • So a taxi driver was a cunt for parking in the cycle lane. You decided to be a cunt in return, only for you to get a fright when you realised he was a bigger cunt than you. Now you want to report him. The fact you’ve been involved in multiple near fights with people tells it’s own story. There are ways and means of dealing with people in general, but especially so in this city. Being a pompous, stubborn bawbag is not the way to do it unless you want a fight. Or do you really just want to catch people on your camera after you provoke them? by twoxraydelta (Thu 9th Jun 2022 7:04pm)

  • Just back from a resort in Mexico which had an Italian, Chinese, and French restaurant in it. I was served by Mexican waiters, the food was cooked by Mexican chefs and it was nothing like what would actually be served in Italy, China or France. It is of course all designed to suit the tastes and expectations of the people who will be served in that establishment. They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Some people fall in love with other cultures. It’s easy to understand why someone could become so inspired by Mexico. The country is beautiful, and the people are genuine, warm and proud. His interpretation may not be great, but I doubt they mean any offence. It happens the world over. People pick out parts of cultures and countries on how they see it. The fake Irish and British pubs all over the world full of leprechauns and wonky fish and chips, that look nothing like real pubs in either country. They are simply theme bars. If you opened up an authentic Mexican restaurant here it probably wouldn’t do well because authentic Mexican food is much more spicy than the average British tastebuds are acquired to. Every business adjusts for the local market. Even McDonalds. If it’s such a big issue, go in and speak to the owner and find out what his story is. Where his inspiration comes from. Maybe you will leave with a better understanding of him, and maybe you will leave him with a better understanding on Mexican culture. by twoxraydelta (Fri 10th Jun 2022 11:43am)

  • As horrendous as First Bus have been, they have an internal policy where the last bus of the night must operate on each service. They also make efforts to operate most of their later evening services so as to not leave people vulnerable or stranded at night. I’d be willing to bet a substantial sum of money on it and say it is near certainty you will get back to Clydebank ok. I dunno what you are going to on weds but if you are in the city centre and go to Howard St @ St Enochs you have several options: 1, 1A, 1D, 2, 60 The last 1A is at 23:07 The last 2 is at 00:21 The last 60 is at 00:02 There is also an odd ball 1D that leaves around 23:45. by twoxraydelta (Sun 12th Jun 2022 9:23am)
  • Well if it drove past you it operated then? Driver must not have liked the look of you and kept going. by twoxraydelta (Sun 12th Jun 2022 9:40am)
  • But the company policy of the service operating was in place and true as the bus did in fact operate. Doesn’t guarantee you get a good driver though as they will employ space cadets. Don’t know about your individual circumstances but bus drivers spend all day stopping at bus stops so if somebody gets driven past, 9/10 times it’ll be the person at the bus stops fault for not hailing the bus in time. Buses in Glasgow don’t just stop at every stop like in other cities. by twoxraydelta (Sun 12th Jun 2022 9:58am)
  • A bus driver will pick up an average of 500 people a day and you’re the one that didn’t manage to get on board. 99.8% did manage to get on and you were the anomaly. Now you’re having a go about it to a reddit user who is only trying to help Kevin the OP get up the road from a concert. If I’m honest I don’t care whether you like First Bus or not. I’m not here for the usual pile on. It’s boring. The whole of this sub knows public transport is not up to scratch in this city. I still bet it was your own fault the bus never stopped and I still bet the OP will be able to get home on a bus on Wednesday night. by twoxraydelta (Sun 12th Jun 2022 11:50am)
  • You disputed a policy based on an anomaly. OP will get to Clydebank on a bus if they choose that method. (Which was what the post is about.) If I was a bus driver I’d put my foot to the floor if I seen you standing at the bus stop as well. No way I’d want to sit and listen to that the whole journey. I’m not even an employee and look what I’ve had to put up with. There would be a Reddit post asking if Fast and Furious was back in town because a 40ft Volvo was seen doing a wheel spin out of George Square. by twoxraydelta (Sun 12th Jun 2022 12:45pm)

  • You don’t pass the entrance of Pollok Park on the 3, so if the driver is not from Glasgow or isn’t knowledgeable of South Side geography then there is a good chance they won’t know the answer to that question. You could drive up and down Barrhead Rd all day and never realise Pollok Country park was behind the golf club. The 3 runs out of Scotstoun depot. So even if they are natives, most of their drivers will be from the North and West of Glasgow. Not many of their routes run in the south side, It won’t be their area of expertise. by twoxraydelta (Sun 19th Jun 2022 4:36pm)

  • You’re going to need to desensitise yourself a bit. Phoning the police is likely to achieve nothing. The involved parties are unlikely to want to press charges against each other, so if you phone the polis they might do the culprits with a section 38 (good old breach of the peace.) As no other party wants to press charges you’d be the one who suffered fear and alarm, which will result in you receiving a witness citation for court when they plead not guilty. As you were spooked by a loud car, I can only imagine standing up in court to go against your neighbours is not going to be an enjoyable experience for you. If you’re not prepared to press charges and follow it through to court, you waste everybody’s time and taxpayer money. The polis aren’t like your mammy where you can phone them up and get them to come out just to make you feel better, they are an organisation with a function and process. As a bystander, the best advice is to stay out of other peoples domestic disputes unless there is risk to person or property. by twoxraydelta (Sat 25th Jun 2022 5:56am)

In previous times it used to come up with three options, short stay 1, short stay 2 and long stay. Now it looks like one or the short stays have been turned into a valet only option. You can just drive in but drive in rates are extortionate over pre booking. by twoxraydelta (Tue 28th Jun 2022 11:04pm)

Take London, scale it down, nuke the tourists and make it a bit more friendlier (despite the reputation) and you have Glasgow. Cons are the transport system here is not half of what it is in London. I live a bit further out from the centre and I cannot imagine life without a car and relying on public transport for my commute. The dining out scene is not as good as London, especially at the higher end but it is something thats growing in Glasgow. You lose your airport convenience of having direct flights to almost anywhere in the world on your doorstep. You gain beautiful scenery, hikes and trails on your doorstep.

  • Go Zones is just McGills speak for an all day. You will probably be cheaper buying an all day (Go Zone) than buying a single fare. The single fares are artificially inflated so they can maximise the amount claimed for concessionary fares from Transport Scotland (they get a percentage of the standard adult single fare for each concession journey.) by twoxraydelta (Sun 17th Jul 2022 2:33pm)

  • London and Edinburgh are examples of how good local public transport can be when it is not run for profit. London’s buses are subsidised to the hilt through a franchise model and Lothian Buses while being a private company, is ultimately owned and controlled by the City of Edinburgh Council, who run it primarily for the benefit of the city, with profit as an afterthought. by twoxraydelta (Sun 17th Jul 2022 6:02pm)

  • Theres not really a recreational food truck ‘scene’ here like you get in some city’s in America, where loads of people go out at night and hang out, eating at the different vendors. They are mainly trailer units that set up close to industrial areas where they will get a lot of business selling breakfast and lunch to workers, or set up outside event arenas where they get high footfall in a short space of time. You’ll need to get various licenses and certificates in order to operate legally. And word of warning. There is a poster on here who’s nemesis is the burger van man. If you set up on his Shawlands street, expect lots of angry-creepy stares from his window. by twoxraydelta (Tue 19th Jul 2022 2:13pm)

  • Get a foundation credit card, use it for the things you would have paid on your debit card, pay it off immediately (within the statement period), gradually your CC provider will raise your credit limit as they see you are a good at managing your account. Your credit score will increase with the increased credit available as long as you are not using all of that available credit. You are not going to fool a mortgage lender with a car parking space rental. They will go over every single detail of your accounts for the last 6 months, so you want to be showing that you are good with money.

  • Theres quite a lot of factors at either end that could sway it. I almost always drive to GLA which takes me 15-20 mins. Fly to Heathrow then take the Piccadilly line for a couple of quid. This almost always beats the train for me convenience wise. You can use the HEX but it’s expensive. Elizabeth Line is running to Heathrow now and costs about £11 to get central. I would write off driving. Fuel will be about £120 alone (if you can average 60mpg) over the return trip. Then you need to park somewhere at potentially £55 a night. I would only take the car under a few circumstances, or if I was expensing the journey and the public transport options had no convenient times. by twoxraydelta (Wed 3rd Aug 2022 12:01pm)

  • Any particular time or just in general? Massive staff shortage at First Bus that they can’t control and doesn’t seem to be getting any better. When a large chunk of services are missing, the ones that are running pick up the flak and end up running late. This results in buses being taken out of service to ensure the drivers comply with drivers hours regulations. Probably what you are seeing. A west bound service gets to the terminus, is mega late then the eastbound journey is cancelled. Add to that events/parades/marches in the city centre causing major delays pretty much every Saturday through the summer. by twoxraydelta (Sat 6th Aug 2022 8:39pm)
  • The last bus via Baillieston is at midnight. The journey time for the Baillieston and Maxim Park variations is exactly the same at 1h 15m end to end so you can rule out the driver trying to get finished early, or any assumption of it being quicker. An Edinburgh bound 900 via Baillieston switches to become a Glasgow bound via Maxim Park and vice versa, so I’d hedge my bets that the sign was still showing as Edinburgh via Baillieston and that’s where the confusion was. Depending on where you got on the drivers prob not had time to change it yet, or had forgotten to change it before commencing the next journey. by twoxraydelta (Sun 7th Aug 2022 9:38am)

  • Train: from Exhibition Centre to Glasgow Central Low Level, change here, walk up the stairs to the main level then train to Mount Florida. If there are between 4 and 6 of you it would be just as cheap getting a taxi. Bus: 2 from St Vincent St at Finnieston St to Argyle St then 6 or 75 to the event. First bus also run an event bus called the X31 between the city and Hampden. You can get it on Union St to the event and Cathcart Rd on the way back. It is walkable but as somebody said it will take around an hour. Not a very exciting walk tbh. Coming back everything will be rammed transport wise. If you are really intent on walking this is the time you want to keep your energy for. You can either walk the distance all the way to your hotel or follow the crowd down Cathcart Rd into the City Centre. Last train from Argyle St to Exhibition Centre is 23:38. (Or 23:40 at central if you get the train back to central.) Last number 2 bus from Stockwell Pl to Finnieston St is 00:22 by twoxraydelta (Fri 12th Aug 2022 10:00am)
  • Salkeld St - you can walk from here to the city, or walk round the corner and get the Subway from Bridge St if the weather is bad. Just don’t park like a dick right next to the gates of the industrial yards and block the lorries in. Alternatively you could use the subway park and ride either at Bridge St or Shields Rd.

  • People seem to get a false sense of security and anonymity being a passenger in a car in this city like it’s a license for them to be a cunt.

  • Google works on an algorithm. It will try and send you the most efficient route. It has calculated that you’re quicker walking to Glassford St than sitting on a bus all the way around town. In any city I have been Google throws up all sorts of weird and wacky suggestions, like using 3 different transport providers on 3 different routes, that would be 4 minutes quicker but 3 times as expensive. And it would have only been quicker if everything ran to complete perfection. The route I devised on my own would have been 2 buses from the same operator and one ticket, but 4 mins longer than the Google suggestion. by twoxraydelta (Sun 21st Aug 2022 8:22pm)

(Explains why you see lots going the other way.) The ones who are supposed to be making return trips run extremely late due to the horrendous traffic conditions. The return journey gets cancelled because the driver is no longer able to legally complete the service. Something happened on the motorway tonight knocking peak time traffic onto the South Side.

  • It’s employment law.

  • That’s the benefit of being self employed. You work for yourself. You can take as much or as little time off as your circumstances allow. Employees work for somebody else and their employer operates a holiday system that is convenient for them. Employees are protected with a guaranteed minimum of 28 holidays each year, but the employer can dictate when they are taken. by twoxraydelta (Mon 12th Sep 2022 8:28pm)

  • Last train is 23:05 from Clydebank to CC. There is a national bus driver shortage. What bus did she wait over 2 hours on. by twoxraydelta (Tue 18th Oct 2022 5:10pm)
  • The way the system works is that the whole schedule is loaded in. Every journey has a unique number. The driver will enter the info and it allows the system to marry up the bus to the schedule to display on the app. As a redundancy measure, if the system can’t find the live journey, it will fallback to displaying the scheduled time. There are a number of reasons why it may not find the live journey; machine failure, poor data signal, or what should be in normal times a rare occurrence - the bus not operating. Any journeys that are cancelled in advance should now be showing “cancelled” on the app like this: https://ibb.co/3mNfswq Post covid, every service has been stripped back due to a reduction of passenger numbers. Eg a service with 6 buses an hour now has 4. While there are less passengers overall, each bus is carrying approx 20% more passengers per journey due to there being less buses. Then with the massive staff shortage those 4 buses an hour might be reduced to 2 or 3. The ones that are running get later and later because they could end up picking up 240% of the passenger numbers that the schedule is designed for. Journeys will only be cancelled as a last resort, usually to comply with drivers hours legislation. When it gets to that point though it’s already too late to update the app. Your bus is due at 17:00 but by the time the decision is taken to cancel the journey the bus has gotten so late it’s now 17:15. It drops off the app or you see it whizzing by not in service so the driver can stay within his legal driving limits. by twoxraydelta (Wed 19th Oct 2022 10:21am)
  • They have Scottish regis because they were built in Falkirk and registered by the dealer. by twoxraydelta (Wed 19th Oct 2022 11:42am)
  • There are thousands of reasons why IT can go wrong. There are places in the Mearns and Castlemilk where you can’t get data throughput. If you expect the system to remove a scheduled service from the app when it can’t track, buses would be disappearing off the app all day when they are actually running, leading to just as much frustration. Every bus passing Ibrox or Parkhead on matchdays would disappear off the app due to mobile tower congestion for example. It’s just not practical.

Why don’t you start your own subreddit for them, spread the word if you’re going to games regularly and let it grow organically. The Scottish women’s game is lagging behind places like England etc but the people within the community are doing everything they can to raise the game.

Suggesting a specific one will cause a war on here but they are all steeped in history and have a story to tell. Ho Wong (Chinese) and Coia’s Cafe (Italian) and Mr Singhs India are popular spots for the locals. Lychee Oriental is another popular Chinese place.

  • Technical fault with the app. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Oct 2022 2:41pm)
  • You can demand an integrated ticketing system but it will fall on deaf ears. These services are ran by private companies and operated as profit making businesses for the benefit of their owners/shareholders. Until the Government re-regulate then it is just not going to happen. You can’t walk in to McDonalds and pay them for a meal but demand that Burger King provide the fries. Just like you can’t pay McGills for a day ticket and demand First take you the rest of the way. You can buy a Zonecard ticket (single ticket) that is valid across bus, rail, subway and ferries in Strathclyde. No need for 4 different tickets. The SPT daytripper ticket was removed due to lack of demand. It is a free market because any company can register to operate a service on any route. An upset group of bus users for example could all group together and invest in a new start up - Glasgow Reddit Buses Ltd - and run their own service. Imagine Shawlands Cross - Queen Margaret Drive via Best Kebab. Local councillors are a waste of your time. They are not taken seriously and will get the same response from the bus companies that you get, with maybe the additional courtesy of a meeting for a photo opportunity here and there. They often don’t have a clue what they are talking about anyway. 1 - Raise your complaint to the bus company in the first instance. 2 - if no response within 2 weeks or the response is unsatisfactory, contact the [Bus Users Organisation](https://bususers.org/passengers/complaints/complaints-process/). Bus companies actually take note when Bus Users escalate issues. If you think buses companies are failing to operate their registered services, or uphold their license conditions you can make a complaint to Claire Gilmore the Scottish Area Traffic Commissioner. But be aware, she is well aware of the national bus driver shortage and she will not take complaints like “my bus didn’t turn up on Saturday morning.” If you are going to the traffic commissioner, it should only be for serious breaches of an Operators License. Bus stops - Unfortunately too much vandalism to stops, the volume and cost to implement and maintain, it makes electronic displays on EVERY stop unviable. As for the First Bus app, there has been technical issues last weekend and today. That is down to 3rd party providers. Last week was a server issue. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Oct 2022 10:27pm)

  • The issue is a combination of post-covid reduced services and a lack of staff. Services that previously had 6 buses and hour now have 4, with comparable reductions across the board. Even with passenger numbers only being at 80% of pre covid levels, those 4 buses are doing 120% of the work that the schedules were designed for. Add in a staff shortage and your previously 6 buses an hour are down to 3 buses an hour. The 3 buses an hour are doing over 1.5x the passengers that schedule was designed for. Every stop the bus gets later and later. Add in a senior management team with a lack of vision and innovation, who answer to profit seeking shareholders and not the travelling public. by twoxraydelta (Sat 3rd Dec 2022 9:14pm)
  • Taxi drivers are all self employed. It can take over a year from the point someone decides they want to drive a taxi to actually being in the drivers seat. This is mainly down to the numerous processes required, the councils ancient processes, how slow they are and their lack of desire to get with the times or make the process easier. New drivers need to: 1: pass an SQA course at the cost of £400. The courses are provided by a 3rd party and can take months to get a slot. 2: Pass a council run knowledge test of the city. Supposed to be 6-8 weeks for a date - currently taking 3-4 months. Once those two conditions have been met, a driver can apply for their taxi drivers badge. This is dependent on a police disclosure check and the council processing it. This is supposed to happen within 3 months. I’ve heard anything up to a year for people. Black hack drivers have two options for a new taxi now. A £42k Euro 6 Mercedes Vito of which there is currently no stock or a £65k LEVC Electric taxi. Many are not prepared to take on that level of debt for numerous reasons. It may be they are winding down towards retirement or that to cover costs and make a decent wage, they’d be pushed in to 10-12 hour heavy shifts 6 days a week.

If you have waited longer than 12 months for us to make an initial decision on your claim, you can request permission to work. If your application has been rejected, you can ask for permission to work if you have sent us more asylum-based pieces of evidence (further submissions) which are more than 12 months old. This will mainly affect people who have already sent in documents - if you send them now, then you are unlikely to be able to apply for permission to work. If your case is being managed by a regional asylum team then please send your permission to work application to your case owner.

Transfer of Tickets 5.1 A Ticket may be transferred by the person who bought that Ticket to another person, but only if: 5.1.1 the Ticket has not been made out in the passenger's name (which includes where the passenger is identified by a designated Railcard, photocard or other identifying means); and 5.1.2 the journey has not begun (for example, if you intend to transfer a return Ticket you must not have used the outward portion of that return Ticket, or if you intend to transfer a Season Ticket you must not have used it for any journeys already); and Page 6 5.1.3 the transfer is not a resale for more than the price paid for the Ticket by the person who first purchased it from a Train Company or a Licensed Retailer. 5.2 A Ticket which is validly transferred remains subject to all the conditions of travel originally applicable to it. by twoxraydelta (Sat 17th Dec 2022 2:40pm)

  • They do that so they can turn into Allison St and head into the depot on Carhcart Rd. They get a 40 minute break. They are legally required to take 30. If they go into town, then they miss their break, which means they cannot pick their next bus up, which results in yet another bus not running. The idea is to operate as much of the service as possible. If they take you as far as Queens Park then you have more options to continue the journey than if you get on at Thornliebank or Darnley. by twoxraydelta (Sat 17th Dec 2022 6:53pm)
  • It all counts as duty time even if passengers are not on board as it is still being driven for ‘hire or reward.’ A drivers duty might look something like: - 75 service 0500 depot - 1000 Cathcart road - Break 1000-1045 - 38 service 1045 Eglinton Toll - 1600 Eglinton Toll If they receive a message saying they have no relief at 1000 hours they will drive the bus to the relief point of Cathcart Road and drop passengers off there. If they carried on to town then they would not get the required rest break to go pick up the next part of duty at 1045 and the 38 would need to come off the road too. by twoxraydelta (Sun 18th Dec 2022 2:07am)

  • Unfortunately that is the reality of the situation whether you believe it or not. It’s not as simple as what you are thinking. A heavily delayed bus at 6pm results in driver break adjustments, drivers timing out of duty hours etc. The knock on effect lasts for hours. Sometimes for the rest of the night. Drivers also don’t drive the same route all day so a problem on another route could affect the 60 too. In normal times a spare driver would cover for such situations without passengers noticing. First Bus can’t even cover their basic rota at the moment never mind have standby drivers waiting to pounce. And they don’t have any sense. So the public are stuck with a subpar transport network that is being ran for the benefit of shareholders and not the benefit of the people who use it. by twoxraydelta (Thu 22nd Dec 2022 8:47pm)

  • It’s the worst way to travel between Glasgow and London. There is nothing to see but endless miles of grey motorway. By the time you get to Liverpool you’ll be bored out of your skull wishing for it all to end, then realise you’re only half way there. You’ll have polished off that audiobook you were struggling to finish, listened to a podcast, blitzed through an album from your favourite artist and still have another 4 hours of dodging maniacs who don’t know how to use the motorway. For the privilege, you’ll pay about £200 a day for a Fiat 500, or more like £300 a day for something like a Skoda Octavia or 3 series. Rental prices are already through the roof, but at this time of year lots of people are visiting family around the country and from abroad pushing them up even further. You’re looking at £50 in fuel one way and thats in a good economical car. In summary pick any other way to travel apart from driving.

  • It’s the classic Glasgow story really that can be applied to all of the big housing schemes. The council built Drumchapel to help ease overpopulation in the inner city. The old tenements in Glasgow were decaying and most didn’t even have their own toilets. When Drumchapel (Easterhouse, Castlemilk, Red Rd etc) were built, getting a house there was highly desirable. Glasgows industry was decimated. Many out of work people turned to drink and drugs. A lot of the fortunate people who managed to keep work moved to pastures new. In the 90’s and 00’s Drumchapel had lots of street gangs that would mean if you were a young man in your teens or early 20’s, walking up the wrong street could land you in trouble. Drumchapel has been home to a few of the city’s notorious gangsters and a couple of ‘famous’ incidents have happened there too. These days Drumchapel has lots of new developments. I know a few people from Drumchapel who are pretty well off. Tradesman and business owners etc who bought property in the newer developments.

  • Living right on top of a subway station Bus links to the City Centre, Braehead and Silverburn at your doorstep. Row of shops in front of your house. Popular places to eat on your doorstep or nearby. It’s sheltered from the main road so when football is on it’s really only a cut through for people who are going to the subway. Biggest issue would be if you have a car, then getting parked might be a pain in the arse at the best or times never mind event days. And people do park there on match days. by twoxraydelta (Sat 31st Dec 2022 3:19pm)

  • A lot of them are leaving the industry once LEZ kicks in and are simply not giving a fuck. Bonkers not to accept card in this day and age. All they are doing is chasing business away. Old dinosaurs stuck in days gone by. Any Hackney that is part of the Glasgow Taxi’s TOA (ones with the yellow stickers/flag) should accept card payment as part of their own policies. If it is one of the TOA cabs you can report them to the association. They have about half of the Glasgow hackneys as part of their fleet. The other half are indeed small independent businesses and can choose whether they accept card or not. I think a lot of these jokers will be gone soon. Unfortunately they are damaging the trade for many of the good drivers out there. by twoxraydelta (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 10:13pm)
  • The Low Emissions Zone. It will be enforced in June this year. A lot of the cabs currently on the road don’t meet the requirements and will be forced off the road. A lot of the drivers, especially older ones don’t want to get into debt for a new taxi, so they are taking whatever they can get out of the job until June then bailing. by twoxraydelta (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 10:19pm)
  • You would think, but their odometer probably “broke” several months ago so taking card payments leaves a digital record they’d rather not have. by twoxraydelta (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 10:40pm)
  • Most of them use sumup or the mobile card reader from paypal. It’s like 1.7% or something. 98.3% of a card payment fare is better than 0% of a fare that has decided to jump in an uber. They don’t look at it like that though. Digital records don’t allow as much scope for creative accounting. by twoxraydelta (Mon 2nd Jan 2023 10:54pm)
  • Black cabs have the most scope for it because they pick up fares from the street with no paper trail. The taxi meter does record fares and mileage but that can simply be reset or deleted, so by the time a tax enquiry popped up it would be useless. It may have had multiple drivers using it over that time too. For taxi drivers HMRC would use things like reported revenue, fuel expenses, records of prebooked hires and mileage records. They can get mileage from the odo or the MOT records. An odometer isn’t required to pass an MOT though so if it doesn’t work the vehicle can still pass with “mileage unavailable” recorded. That would muddy the waters even further when it came to an enquiry. Even if there is a mileage reading there isn’t really a way for an inspector to tell how much of that mileage was occupied mileage. There is an algorithm thats used in HMRC though that gives them an idea of typical earnings for drivers in different areas v costs & mileage. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 12:19am)
  • It’s the cost of doing business. Paying 1.7% to accept a card payment is better than losing that customer altogether. All it does is chase people away from using black cabs. Next time they automatically go to Uber or Private. It also has other benefits. Reduces the risk of robbery, fraud or loss. Reduces the need to take a trip to a bank which costs time and fuel. People in the black cab trade will need to get with the times or die. They scream blue murder when companies like Uber come in and take their custom but refuse to adapt to the needs of the customer. Stubborn attitudes are just making life harder for themselves in the long run and the drivers who are actually decent by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 12:33am)
  • Yes that is all true but the testing is to ensure the tariff is correct and the meter is measuring distance correctly. The council testing has no interest in what the actual totals are, only that the meter is being used correctly under the conditions you mentioned. There is profile recorded that can be set up for each driver. They can just be wiped out and reset at anytime. The meter will have a lifetime recording of total miles, total hired miles and total fares, but by the time a tax enquiry comes it is almost useless, because there could have been multiple drivers using the cab. Tax enquiries can come years later. If somebody was fiddling their numbers over they could then simply say their meter broke and go out and replace the whole unit. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 12:49am)
  • Think with a lot of the drivers that are leaving, they had old cabs that were all paid off and went out a few days a week for beer and holiday money. The ones with electric taxis are in it for the long haul. The only options for new taxis in the hackney trade after June are the LEVC TXE at £65k or the euro 6 Merc Vito from Cab Direct at £42k - and at the moment there is no new Vito stock. GlasGo have a couple of electric hackneys on their fleet and a whole load of Nissan Leaf private hires. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 1:05am)

  • The car rental market has changed massively in the last couple of years for obvious reasons. It’s much more expensive now, but if you only want it the odd weekend then it’s obviously still cheaper than full ownership. There used to be deals for weekend rentals as a big part of their custom was business users that had them Mon-Fri then they’d sit in the yard all weekend doing nothing. I have a car but sometimes still rent out cars for road trips. Especially when going to festivals and things. It reduces personal liability. And less hassle when splitting costs between a group or adding extra drivers. Most rental companies have loyalty programmes where you accumulate perks and get free or discounted rentals. Pricing is dynamic like hotels and flights. It has hundreds of factors that affect price. You really need to just do a bit of searching and comparing on the dates you need. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 1:09pm)
  • The concept of cash was born out of convenience. The world moves on. Cashless payments are not new. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 2:51pm)
  • You lose your right to privacy every time you step outside your own home. Every shop, pub and club you go in has CCTV. Every bus on the road has CCTV filming everything internally and externally. Millions of cars have dash cams. Millions of homes have ring door bell cams. You don’t even need to leave your home. There is already a huge digital footprint of you built up online. This reddit app has thousands of lines of code built in for tracking purposes. Every thing you do online is monitored. Your ISP’s have records of all of your online activity. If you use a bank account then you are already leaving a trail of your finances. Nearly every legitimate transaction you make can be traced back using the various surveillance devices and data collection. The only reason cash has value is because you believe it does. It’s based on trust where you the holder of cash has faith in the Bank of England. CBDC’s are no different. Cash is nothing more than an IOU from the BOE. If you think they don’t have control over your cash already you are mistaken. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 3:40pm)
  • If you take a taxi with the intention of not paying then it’s criminal fraud and the taxi driver could effect a citizens arrest and take you to the nearest police station. Any merchant can choose what methods of payment to accept. It’s on the customer to be able pay for their goods and services. If you go into a shop and their card machine doesn’t work you don’t get to just walk off with the goods because the shop didn’t accept your card. Or if the hairdresser cuts your hair and their card machine doesn’t work, you need to go get cash. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 4:22pm)
  • Every taxi driver is a small business. They need to manage their cash flow better if they can’t buy diesel the next day without cash revenue. Simple solution would be to use a credit card for fuel and pay it when the money hits their account. Most card payment solutions are 1-2 business days. Account work has been around the taxi industry forever and that could take a week or two to get paid put. Anybody on a salary needs to manage their expenses over the course of a month. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 4:55pm)
  • No it’s not wrong. It common law. And if the merchant does not wish to accept your method of payment they do not have to, you do not have the right to free goods or service. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 7:48pm)

  • England England England England If you take a taxi journey in Scotland with the intention of not paying you are committing fraud. If you did intend to pay but get the destination and cannot provide payment, you do not get to just walk off. You need to arrange payment with the driver on mutually agreed terms. by twoxraydelta (Tue 3rd Jan 2023 8:14pm)
  • Yes in that scenario both parties would need to reach some form of agreement. If the journey is complete and the passenger sticks by their guns that card is their only way to pay, they could offer that the driver returns for payment when the card machine starts working. By doing that, it demonstrates the intention to pay was there all along and avoids any potential criminal liability. A disingenuous driver might find his card machine suddenly works. A genuine driver may either cut their losses or come to some sort of agreement with the passenger. Of course a genuine driver would likely tell you before your journey commenced to avoid any hassle. Those card machines are at the behest of mobile data networks though, so there are genuine cases where the card machine might fail at the end of the journey. It’s the whole attitude of “if the card machine doesn’t work then I’m no paying” that leaves you wide open. It can be argued you had dishonest intentions from the start. In reality we know most drivers are at it, but the law sides with them as merchants in that they can accept whatever form of payment they want. by twoxraydelta (Wed 4th Jan 2023 10:43am)
  • From a legal standpoint it’s perfectly fine to only accept cattle and grain as payment. You probably won’t get many customers though. Can accept football stickers if you want.

  • You posted specific news worthy incidents from England and thought you done something. The English law that applies to your unrelated links: [Bilking is the term for making off without paying the fare. Anyone running away from a taxi with no intention of paying is guilty of an offence. (Fraud Act 2006 s11). Any person can arrest someone for bilking, however cab drivers are strongly advised to call the police, as wrongful arrest can lead to civil claims.](https://www.met.police.uk/cy-GB/foi-ai/metropolitan-police/d/april-2022/policy-guidance-material-mps-persons-refusing-pay-taxi-fare/) Acceptable forms of payment: [A shop owner (i.e a merchant for the purposes of the law) can choose what payment they accept. If you want to pay for a pack of gum with a £50 note, it’s perfectly legal to turn you down. Likewise for all other banknotes, it’s a matter of discretion. If your local corner shop decided to only accept payments in Pokémon cards that would be within their right too. But they’d probably lose customers.](https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/knowledgebank/what-is-legal-tender) Common law citizens arrest in Scotland - not advisable for either party to put themselves in that situation but can happen: [A private citizen has certain common law powers of arrest, but they must be exercised with care as wrongful arrest can result in a claim for damages. The crime must be a serious one and not merely a breach of the peace, and he must be certain that an offence has been committed by, for example, witnessing it or being the victim. Reasonable force may be used if the arrested person resists and he must be handed over to the police as soon as possible.](https://www.askthe.scottish.police.uk/view-category/?id=b159a670-06f6-eb11-94ef-002248405a51) [Fraud Fraud is a dishonestly-made false pretence, in order to bring about a practical result.](https://crime.scot/fraud/) Examples of an express false pretence are: telling someone that you will pay for the goods they are selling you upon delivery, knowing that you plan to run off with the goods without paying; a “dine and dash” in a restaurant (Or entering a taxi knowing fine well you have no intention of paying if the card machine doesn’t work.) Do you think if you go into a petrol station, fill your car up with fuel, go to pay and the card reader doesn’t work you get to just drive off with a full tank of fuel and thats the end of it. You’re a clown. Stop replying with utter shite. I’m done with your childish nonsense. You got the cunt ripped out of you by a taxi driver, you’re angry and now you’re venting on reddit.

  • Technically it’s one lane if you go by the road markings - one large single 20 mph sign centred in the lane. If it were 2 lanes there would be a 20 sign in each lane. In practice it operates as 2 lanes and splits to two lanes at junctions. https://preview.redd.it/4626wbt9v4ca1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=7329c9fb5927b67ffdba1bc1186da1a7ed800d1f by twoxraydelta (Sat 14th Jan 2023 11:18pm)
  • Thats my take and what the road markings suggest. Bus cages only mark out a bay where buses can stop and don’t divide lanes. On the Cathedral St example the bus cage takes up more than half of the lane. I think most people think it’s two lanes because the buses tend to keep left allowing faster moving vehicles to overtake easier. If it came down to the crunch and there was a collision, liability would be with the vehicle performing an overtaking/undertaking manoeuvre. by twoxraydelta (Sun 15th Jan 2023 8:29pm)

  • I don’t know the guy but the people on Reddit and wider social media can’t grasp the difference between something they don’t like and something that is wrong. Taking potentially 70% of the city’s taxis off the road isn’t going to be good though. It was only a few months ago people on this sub were screaming every weekend they can’t get home from town. Feel for your personal situation too. If I lived in the LEZ my grandparents couldn’t come visit. They keep a wee old run around to visit family and do the shopping. In every argument there’s always a balance to be had. It’s not always about right or wrong. There can be a difference of opinion without one side being 100% right or 100% wrong. Maybe it is wrong to spew harmful emissions out into city streets, but maybe it’s also wrong that we endanger a vital City public service while putting lots of sole traders livelihoods at risk. by twoxraydelta (Tue 17th Jan 2023 11:51pm)

  • London has a vehicle age limit, and don’t grant any new licenses to diesel vehicles, so naturally the diesel vehicles will expire and be replaced by Electric vehicles. In Glasgow Hackney taxis can be any age as long as they can pass the 6 monthly inspection. From June any Taxi older than 2015 won’t be suitable. There are only two options for new taxis. £42k Mercedes Vito from Cab Direct of which there is currently no stock. Or a £65k LEVC TXE. London Hackneys charge nearly £4 per mile. In Glasgow it’s £2.20 per mile. Private hire vehicles may have to be replaced every 7 years but they are not purpose built vehicles and you can replace it for about £22k. Nearly 1/3 of a new hackney. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 12:49am)
  • First bus put night buses back on and nobody is using them. Why would Scotrail go to the expense and logistical challenge of operating railway until that time when nobody is using the current mass transit options. It’s not just a train and driver you need.

  • So from that, several thousands pounds investment on an 8 year old vehicle that can only be fuelled up at about 5 places across the city. Or £65k investment in a new electric vehicle with £2.5k of support. Not really loads of help tbh is it. Taxi drivers are hardly millionaires. They are working class folk. 99% of the population would feel the impact if they were told they need to pay £2k or lose their job. They might have known about it for 5 years but two years of that their earnings were severely hampered and many would have decimated their savings. There are a lot of cab drivers who work part time and only go out Thurs/Fri/Sat nights or when there are events on. Simply not worth it for them to upgrade/invest.

Were you out all night on the sauce? by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 8:07am)
  • Been mwi plenty of times. Not once did potholes or train announcements factor into what method of transport I take up the road. Nor have I ever had difficulty navigating my way up the road. It’s nothing to do with disagreeing with you. People are not going to use trains to get up the road if it doesn’t take them where they need to go. For your personal circumstance maybe the train is great. The demand for taxis and the low demand for night buses suggest the priority for most late night passengers are speed and convenience. It’s a moot point anyway. Railways are a major logistical operation. London with 8m+ residents doesn’t have interurban heavy rail through the night. The demand is not there for it to be viable in the West of Scotland. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 8:43am)
  • Is there actually any parking restrictions for residents? by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 10:09am)
  • There’s a vehicle shortage. The only option for a new taxi is costs £65k. If it was as simple as “just getting a new taxi” then there wouldn’t be the threat of losing potentially 1000 taxis come June. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 10:35am)
  • I would assume then if it’s a public road, there are no restrictions, no signage on the walls or lampposts then just having a license to trade doesn’t give them the right to that specific spot? by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 10:47am)
  • Defo. There is always a balance to be had I think. Buses and trains need to be improved across the board. £80 for that journey is a shambles. Heard so many horror stories recently about rip off fares. I’m convinced it’s the drivers who know they are bailing out come June behaving like that and not caring what state they leave their industry in. If I was in charge at the council I’d give taxis another 1 year grace period on the basis that there is a vehicle shortage and they lost two years with covid. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 11:09am)
  • That doesn’t solve the capacity issue at peaks. That just means people who usually use private hire can’t get their usual service because all the drivers are picking up from ranks. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 12:09pm)
  • Ah I see. Loosening the vehicle requirements could be a solution. The police were actually putting people in private hire vehicles to clear the city one night. I don’t think it would be a quick fix though. Probably a decision that would get tied up for years in legal challenges from current taxi drivers who had to sit knowledge tests and buy more expensive vehicles. Also deregulation has been a threat for years but it doesn’t suit certain people within the council that own taxi plates. As long as the taxi numbers are restricted, the taxi plates have a black market value in the many thousands. It’s likely to face fierce opposition internally and externally. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 1:29pm)
  • One thing I wish they would sort out is journeys outwith the boundary that are not regulated. In London the daytime tariff is roughly £3.10 per mile for the first 6 miles, then after 6 miles it switches to £3.70 per mile. This is to compensate a driver for the cost of returning to their area. In Glasgow if leaving the City boundary the drivers used to charge the meter + 1/3. In recent years they seem to just make up a price. Been quoted everything from £25 all the way to £70 for less than a ten mile journey to EDC area. I’m happy to pay a fair price but would rather it was built in to the meter rate for the sake of consistency, or they would go back to using meter and a third. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 11:12pm)
  • From the article it sounds like the Taxi Owners association is against the rise. The fares are set by the council and rises are calculated based on cost increases of owning and operating a vehicle. Electric vehicles carry a higher initial cost - £65k in the case of a taxi. If they all have to buy £65k motors it’s not going to decrease the cost of the fares. The (free) public charging network is also not designed or set up to be the sole method of charging for everyone. It’s supposed to support and supplement home charging. by twoxraydelta (Wed 18th Jan 2023 11:28pm)
  • The meter is little use for a tax enquiry as drivers can chop and change cabs they rent. Owners can rent out their cabs part time or full time so by the time a tax enquiry comes the meter stats are ambiguous. If a tax enquiry did appear on the door step of an unscrupulous operator, the meter unit can suddenly fail and need to be replaced. Vehicle mileage is used by tax investigators as it is a bit more reliable and recorded at frequent intervals by gov agencies. HMRC have an algorithm for different localities that factor in mileage, earnings, expenses and occupancy percentage. by twoxraydelta (Thu 19th Jan 2023 11:31am)

  • Friday’s are a riot for traffic which means lots of cancelled services to get buses back on time or driver break adjustments to comply with legal regulations. I would be annoyed in the same situation but the employees that are there are equally frustrated as the passenger at the bus stop. My mate is a depot manager and even at that level they are at the behest of clueless policies handed down by senior leadership, weak interdepartmental relationships and bad recruitment and retainment strategies. They can’t keep hold of their staff. Bus industry wages stagnated or regressed. New drivers come in and think “fuck this.” Even a lot of their experienced employees are bailing out and moving to less stressful jobs that pay similar or better. The reality is First Bus is a private company and directors are there to safeguard profit. Herein lies the problem. Vital public service being operated for shareholders and not the public who need it. The passenger is an afterthought and the employee is only a number. To fix their issues in the short term First Bus need to pay a rate that will attract and retain good quality employees, as well as making their loyal employees feel valued. In the long term for the sake of the city, local public transit either needs to be 1 - put back into public ownership, 2 - regulated again, London style with a franchise model and heavy subsidies Or 3 - employee ownership where profit is reinvested in the company and it’s employees rather than ending up as a dividend is a shareholders pocket. by twoxraydelta (Fri 20th Jan 2023 10:52pm)
  • Nothing worse after a hard days graft, trying to get up the road and something outwith your control is wasting the few precious hours downtime you have. by twoxraydelta (Sat 21st Jan 2023 12:25am)
  • Here’s my view mate and it’s not designed to argue or disagree with the valid points you make. More just thinking out loud with my thoughts in the industry… What Public ownership can do is shift the number one priority of a company from being a profit generating business to providing a public service as it is intended. Of course it still needs to be sustainable. Most local transit services around the world are seen as a vital component of a city’s infrastructure. They are run for the benefit of the city, the residents and the visitors rather than a profit making opportunity. London provides an excellent bus service. Its subsidised to the tune of £700m though. Scaled to Glasgow, for similar service level it would need maybe around £70m - £80m in subsidies spread across the diff operators. TFL have the profitable tube network to raise those funds. In Scotland the money isn’t there. But it gives an idea of the kind of operation a company like First needs to run to turn a profit. Low ball service levels, cost cutting at every opportunity, expensive fares. While in London every single vehicle operates at an average of an £80k a year loss. It’s all down to the governments. They are the ones who deregulated public transport, they are the ones with the power to provide funding or not, and re-regulate if need be. First Bus are only doing what they are obligated to do, which is to make a profit. But while they do that, the public are shortchanged on critical infrastructure and the staff are shortchanged on employment conditions. That is proven by their high turnover (which is a pre brexit issue for them) and their inability to attract and retain enough employees. by twoxraydelta (Sat 21st Jan 2023 2:23am)

  • When first bus receive a complaint from a councillor they know fine well from the comms that the councillor doesn’t have a scooby. Last complaint in the papers from a councillor was them complaining they had to wait an hour for a bus in a place the bus didn’t even serve. Total own goal. Sometimes they will give them a meeting with a middle manager, or have a joint community group session with councillor and residents. This simply strokes the councillors ego and makes them feel important. In end First Bus will continue to do what they want until the traffic commissioner has to step in. Services not commercially viable will need to be propped up by SPT. by twoxraydelta (Sat 21st Jan 2023 1:33pm)

They have fully electric Nissan Leafs that save in fuel but would cost in time to charge. Going it alone, your car would need to pass the council taxi inspection, pay for plates and have the proper insurance that could be £4k a year. Then you need to join a private hire company like GlasGo or Uber and still pay their fees. As others have said, to get a Glasgow license you’ll need the SQA course then wait for the City Council to issue your license. The whole process takes months.

  • You don’t need to reinvent yourself. You only need to rediscover the person you already are. Reconnect with the mates you were close with. The true friends will still be there. The ones that weren’t will be gone and no loss. Same goes for your relationship. If you love or loved someone it’s going to sting for a while. You might feel hurt, you might feel hard done by or betrayed, you might question yourself. It’s all normal, but now you’re better off. You know that within yourself. Sometimes you can do everything you can on your end but a relationship is a partnership that needs two people aligned to make it work. You mentioned reading and walking. Why not combine both. I enjoy long walks listening to an audiobook. Get yourself a gym membership. It will be the best money you spent. Post workout high will lift your spirits.

  • Americans get drivers ed in school and a very high percentage of them have licenses by the time they are 18.

  • 40m drivers in the UK. Thats 8m additional tests per year on average. At the moment the capacity is about 1.5m tests per year and it’s already stretched. How do you propose we get to 9.5m tests a year. Retesting every driver is lunacy and would cause havoc on the economy. Rather than the investment it would require to retest every driver, we should be investing in proper policing, enforcement and deterrence. Drivers who are breaking the law with serious infractions should be retested. The police traffic department has been decimated since 2014. Sometimes there has only been one unit to cover the whole Greater Glasgow division. The initial test needs to be much harder to stop clowns getting a license in the first place when they can’t drive. by twoxraydelta (Fri 10th Feb 2023 11:14am)

  • What services? I’d say very little of chance of them being early. Bus operators deal with early running very harshly as it affects their ops license. It also flashes up red on a controllers computer and they will be on the case telling the bus to slow down. Most likely buses falling so far behind schedule that they are running to the time of another bus. Bus services are deregulated so it’s a free market. It’s less about needing to take services off them and more about competition. Anybody who thinks they can do a better job is free to step in run a bus service. There is not a big queue of willing suitors. I know you’re just having a rant but that’s the reality of a privatised bus service. by twoxraydelta (Fri 10th Feb 2023 6:24pm)

Since the highway code changed there is an increase in entitled dafties walking out into the road without even looking. Combine that with the amount of dafties that are being allowed to operate a motor vehicle, you have a recipe for disaster. It’s like telling yer Mrs/sister/daughter not to walk home alone at night. In an ideal world they should be able to walk home alone at night risk free. The reality is that there is an abundance of beasts and creeps cutting about. by twoxraydelta (Mon 13th Feb 2023 10:15pm)

Pretty much all of their fleet is now compliant either through Euro 6 vehicles from the factory or aftermarket modifications. It’s partly the reason why so much of the competition has disappeared too. The smaller operators couldn’t afford the investments required to be compliant. by twoxraydelta (Mon 20th Feb 2023 1:13pm)

  • Long commutes quickly become tedious. It becomes a question of how much you value your time then weighing it against the quality of life increase you will get from living in Largs (if any) You will be spending 6-12 hours a week commuting. That is basically a full days work unpaid, where you can’t do much else. Then factor in that you will be paying significantly more for the privilege of that commute. Think about what happens when there is a breakdown in public transport. You finish after a hard day at the office, trains are suddenly off, no rail replacement at short notice and the infrequent Largs bus drives by full. Do you wait half an hour and chance getting the next one or stump up for a taxi and wipe out a days wages. If you are looking to escape the city, there are towns and villages in Glasgow’s surrounding commuter towns that feel suburban/semi rural, but you’ll only be 10 miles from work, rather than 30. by twoxraydelta (Thu 23rd Feb 2023 9:24am)

  • Event organisers can only control the event space. Outside the event zone is a matter for the police and council. You’re not going to send the Spice Girls or whoever you’re into a fine for the actions of their concert goers half a mile down the road. It’s the same with people who spill out of pubs and clubs and start a fight or spew their ringer half way down Sauchiehall Street. Or McDonalds when somebody drives down the road and chucks their food wrapper out of the window. In any case it is the SPFL who were the event organisers for yesterday, not the two football clubs. While the littering, pishing and general bad behaviour isn’t acceptable, councils accept that having a stadium or arena in their jurisdiction comes with a certain degree of waste management. The trade off being that the overall contribution to the economy is positive. by twoxraydelta (Mon 27th Feb 2023 10:05am)
  • There are already regular scheduled train services with additional event provision put in place by Scotrail. Multiple bus routes. Onsite coach parking. Both clubs advise their supporters to use public transport as the surrounding area is unsuitable for a large influx of private cars. If private coach operators and private individuals are not following the procedures or advice there is little another private organisation can do to enforce that away from the space they control. Hampden obviously demonstrate they have the provision in place to support the event. by twoxraydelta (Mon 27th Feb 2023 10:30am)

  • There is no one size fits all answer to this. There are also misconceptions about both sides because people live in a social media bubble. This sub especially has such a big user base of folk I’m convinced have never seen daylight. Yes there is an extremist element in both sets of support and these are the ones that constantly make the news and go viral. Nobody is interested in the 49,500 supporters that went to the game, then went home without incident. The other 500 who were part of the young team chasing each other, being drunk and loutish are the ones that grab headlines and become the subject of discussion. Out in the real world both teams draw their support from every section of society. From rich to poor. From left to right. I know Celtic fans who are Unionists and Rangers fans who want independence. I know Rangers fans who hate the monarchy and Celtic fans who served in the armed forces who hate the anti-monarchist and IRA supporting element if their crowd. Both clubs are institutions and deep rooted in Scottish society and culture, especially in the West of Scotland. Family ties, social circles, politics and religion could have an impact. Sometimes it’s as simple as who was the better team at the time they got into football. by twoxraydelta (Wed 1st Mar 2023 2:08pm)

If you live further afield and want to avoid “boundary charges” or extortionate made up on the spot taxi rank prices book through the Glasgow Taxis app. You will either get a fixed price. Or if you live in a surrounding town like Bearsden/Milngavie/Clydebank/Giffnock etc it will say “estimate” then you get the meter price with no extra charges.

If you stick to the main roads walking to the station you’ll be fine. There are some dregs of society that hang around the town at night. The chances of being a random passerby and getting caught up in trouble are very slim. If anybody asks you for money and it makes you uncomfortable just tell them politely you don’t carry cash and keep moving. For every scumbag in Glasgow there is another 1000 people with good hearts who will be willing to lend a hand.

If bought through a LTD company they qualify as plant and machinery (like a van) and can still be parked at home without being stung with heavy taxes.

Fixed price £29 airport to city centre. Almost guaranteed somebody will come get you within 20 minutes at the airport at any time day or night. You can call them or book via the app. Would book once you’ve got your luggage. My company has an account with them.

  • OP how did you book the taxi? Glasgow Taxis (the black cab owners association) give you a fixed price to the airport if you book via them. They are only affiliated with about half of the city’s cabs though. (£34) If you take one off a rank then fares outside the City boundary are unregulated and subject to negotiation with the driver. They should be informing you of their price before starting the journey. If you look for one with a yellow Glasgow Taxis sticker on a rank and offer them £34 for the airport (even without going through the booking office first) I’d be willing to bet 9/10 drivers would accept the offer. by twoxraydelta (Wed 29th Mar 2023 11:43am)

  • Private hire fares are not regulated. They can be anything set by the company. The act covers “taxi” fares which are specifically public hire vehicles you hail from the street. The moment you engage with a booking office that becomes a private hire even if they dispatch a vehicle that would otherwise be available for public hire i.e hackney cab - which can engage in both public and private hire work. Sometimes confusion stems from the fact that hackney cabs dispatched for private hire work often use the meter / regulated fare table for the private journey. Most likely for the sake of simplicity and consistency. by twoxraydelta (Wed 29th Mar 2023 8:21pm)

  • The police aren’t interested unless it’s a moving vehicle. The DVLA will clamp it and leave it in your street forever. The council aren’t bothered unless it poses a danger. Your report a few weeks ago is far too optimistic. The authorities will attempt to contact the owner and give them 28 days to reply and another period of time to actually remove the vehicle. If they don’t respond they are not going to be rushing to the scene to remove them either. Unless of course one of the local neds decides to launch a brick through the windows. [A vehicle is considered to be abandoned if it meets the following criteria: the vehicle structure/glass has been damaged by vandalism as opposed to damage caused by a road traffic accident or the vehicle has unsecured doors, boot open. the vehicle has been partially or fully burnt out a car is NOT abandoned if it does not meet the above criteria. untaxed vehicles should be referred to the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for enforcement.](https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=16991) by twoxraydelta (Mon 17th Apr 2023 8:04pm)

  • From where. by twoxraydelta (Thu 20th Apr 2023 10:17am)
  • Thats not £20 in their pocket though is it. They need to pay for a vehicle, fuel, insurance, fees to the owners association, tax, national insurance, maintenance amongst other misc expenses like cleaning, uniform etc and I’m sure lots of other little things I wouldn’t even think about as an outsider. They could have waited around for an hour to get your 5 min motorway run. They are self employed too so holidays are unpaid but the finance on their motor doesn’t stop. It’s like when you go to a restaurant and pay £50 for food that costs less than £5. The restaurant needs to keep the lights on and pay the staff cooking and serving you. When people hit out with patter like this it just shows how clueless they are about operating a business. If you think taxi drivers are getting rich of your £20, you are dreaming. I’m sure many of them make a decent living by grafting but they are hardly living in mansions. If it was as easy as you make it out to be they’d work a couple of hours and go home. Most of them work 10-12 hour shifts. (A 12 hour shift would have half the weirdos on this sub crying on r/antiwork about their tory boss enforcing slave labour.) My company has an account with Glasgow Taxis so I am interacting with the drivers on a daily basis. Yet to hear any of them complain that they missed the Monaco GP because the Gulfstream Jet was off the road. Every single taxi driver is their own small business so when you use them you are supporting small local businesses. by twoxraydelta (Thu 20th Apr 2023 10:59am)
  • No it’s not. If you call Glasgow Taxis it is £34 from the Centre, less from the West and slightly more from the east.

  • The issue is the council do not make accepting card payments part of the license conditions. Just like when you go into places now and they say card only. Its up to the merchant/service provider how they accept payment. You can avoid the rank, go somewhere easy to get to by road, book on the Glasgow Taxis app and a taxi with a card machine will be dispatched. Or you can pay via the app. If you end up on a rank get the steward to find you one that accepts card. If the ranks are busy book it for the main door of a hotel like the Radisson Blu, Marriott, or even Millennium that way you catch the taxis heading back to the main ranks before they hit the rank. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Apr 2023 9:57am)
  • They can’t see how you’re paying until they accept the fare. Only the pick up location. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Apr 2023 10:04am)
  • For Glasgow Taxis and GlasGo cabs it is. They use the same app provider. If they are nearby they automatically get assigned your fare. If there are no available cars nearby its open for any nearby driver to take. All they see is a pick up address before they hit accept. Once they accept the rest of the details show up, i.e destination, method of payment etc. if the driver doesn’t take that hire they get locked out of the system for either 30 mins. The only thing I can think of is if you are a regular customer then the drivers that work in your area will know the pick up address and that you pay with card and maybe avoid it? It’s daft that they are working from an app and rejecting card payment anyway, everything is tracked so they can’t hide anything. The only penalty they have is a 2% fee on the card payment. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Apr 2023 11:15am)

  • Nearly every single bus service that goes into the City Centre would have been diverted today. There are not enough single deckers just lying around spare to be used because buses need to be diverted a few times a year. These diversions would have been planned well in advance. Drivers would have had several days notice (if not weeks), giving them plenty of time to get to grips with the planned diversion. Every bus would have had a physical copy of the diversion which would explicitly state “UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY BUS OPERATE UNDER COOK ST BRIDGE.” This would have been repeated with a message on every ticket machine that advises drivers if they are unsure of the route they “MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT A SUPERVISOR.” First Bus’ internal policy is that no company vehicle goes under Cook St bridge, even cars and vans. They will discipline employees who go that route in a Transit never mind a bus. Every driver is repeatedly warned about low bridges and accident hotspots. They get maps highlighting low bridges all across the region. Every training course they go on reiterates the dangers of low bridges. Due to the proximity of that specific low bridge to the First Bus headquarters, it is pointed out to every driver during training. As a final preventative measure the on board low bridge warning system starts beeping if the bus is in proximity to a low bridge. In the eyes of the law the driver should and will be held fully responsible for those actions. I’m struggling to see any reason First Bus should “shoulder some of the blame” in that regard. If you are in a car, get diverted due to a road closure and smash into a cyclist because you weren’t familiar with the road layout, you don’t get to blame anybody else. You, the driver are responsible for the actions you take on the road. Of course when it comes to civil action, it was their driver and their bus, so they will shoulder the financial burden due to their employees negligence. by twoxraydelta (Mon 22nd May 2023 12:07am)

  • What are you talking about? They know their double deckers don’t fit under that bridge so diverted them away from the bridge. The driver, for whatever reason did not follow instruction and went into a road that company policy forbids then proceeded to drive under a bridge in a vehicle that the law prohibits. by twoxraydelta (Mon 22nd May 2023 9:34am)
  • Whether it has been made public or not I can say with absolute certainty that the bus company will have had diversions in place well in advance for a pre planned event and not a single one would be to go under that bridge. It’s not a miracle that the hundreds of other buses on the road managed to avoid the bridge. by twoxraydelta (Mon 22nd May 2023 9:47am)

  • I use Glasgow Taxis. The local taxi service where I am in EDC has been decimated last few years and they are the only ones I can get to reliably pick me up. No boundary charges if booked through them. Depending on what part of EDC you are going to it’s either metered rate or fixed priced. Bearsden/Milngavie/Bishy get standard metered rates. Further afield gets fixed prices. If you book on the app its similar to Uber where it comes up with the drivers name and regi plate. by twoxraydelta (Tue 23rd May 2023 12:15pm)

  • DELETED If you need to get there at “some point this week” then taking public transport as opposed to taking a taxi or car is not going to make any difference. You are not talking about a here and now emergency. You either leave an hour earlier and get public transport, or stump up for a taxi. The topic of the main taxi services in Glasgow has been done to death on this sub. It’s between Glasgow Taxis, GlasGo, Uber and Saltire it seems. If you’re not willing to pay for a taxi you’re in no position to turn your nose up at using buses and trains. People take their pets to vets on public transport everyday. by twoxraydelta (Thu 25th May 2023 12:07pm)

  • Reddit is not the place for a question like this. Its unique to your relationship. Half the people on this sub are virgins that will attempt to dish out relationship advice like they are Dear Deidre. Can already see a few comments from the ‘never been kissed’ crowd spewing their anger through the keyboard. You will know if somebody is taking advantage of you or not. The odd occasion doesn’t seem so. Would be different if you showed up to pick him up and he piles the whole work crew in the motor and asks you to drop off Dave, John and Joe all around the city. Personally would not be in a relationship with somebody that grudged coming to pick me up from the town after the odd night out.

  • Is it a taxi + ph license or PH only? A PH car not attached to a base already will be few and far between. Check gumtree. Occasionally you can get a car already plated up and then you can work from whatever base you want. Most uber drivers will be owner drivers though. GlasGo are a fleet operator as well as a cab company so you can get the complete package from them ready to hit the road right away. Vehicle + radio/PDA rental. Thats the way PH works generally. You either rent from an existing PH company who runs their own fleet, or use your own car and you can join whatever operator you want. Whether that be Uber or A N Other. by twoxraydelta (Wed 31st May 2023 7:49pm)
  • Just withdraw from a cash machine when you are there and use a credit card as much as possible. Even if you pay 2.99% fx fee on a CC it’s usually as good as or cheaper than the spread you pay at currency exchanges. by twoxraydelta (Wed 31st May 2023 8:38pm)
  • Tipping here is appreciated but not expected. You don’t have to add 20% to everything. Restaurants anything from a couple of quid to 10% is fine. Nobody will chase you out the door like they do stateside if you don’t leave a 15%+ tip. Tipping here is a genuine tip for service you feel was good, rather than an expectation in order to make up staff pay. Cabbies and other service staff will appreciate a round up or a couple of quid thrown their way. Somebody else mentioned that taxis are fussy with card payments so if you hail one off the street make sure it has yellow stickers on the side saying “Glasgow Taxis” with credit card logos on it, or ask before you commence your journey. Alternatively Glasgow Taxis app lets you book and pay just like Uber - and of course Uber is here also. Amex is widely accepted here but you may run into issues at smaller retailers. When it comes to credit/debit card payments everything is contactless or chip and pin. If you’re paying with card at a restaurant they will bring the machine to your table rather than take your card and swipe it. Don’t worry about the differences in language. Nobody in the real world cares if you call a pavement a sidewalk. We grew up watching American TV. We know what you mean. by twoxraydelta (Thu 1st Jun 2023 1:33am)

  • The Gallowgate is full of Celtic pubs and Merchant City has a few Irish bars so expect it to be jumping all day. With it being a Saturday and a late kick off there will be plenty of folk who start drinking at lunch time before heading to the game. There will also be plenty of folk hitting town for an all day sesh who are just there for the party and not even going to the game. It will be busy before/during/after the game. Also entertaining reading the delusion on these football orientated threads every time they pop up. People who think football fans = big bad scary men or celtic = good / rangers = bad and vice versa from people with bias. Put 50,000 drunk Glaswegians anywhere, there is going to be a trouble making element. There was trouble at a fucking Harry Styles concert in Glasgow.

Buses were already compliant long ago and taxis got exemptions. by twoxraydelta (Sat 3rd Jun 2023 2:07pm)

  • It’s limited time only for 1 more year. The only reason being that there is a massive backlog at the places that do the retrofitting to make them compliant. It’s still a big outlay for them. Basically having to invest £6k in a vehicle that will be around 9 years old and possibly need replaced in a few years anyway. Or bite the bullet for either a euro 6 Vito at £45k (think they are in incredibly short supply). Or an LEVC electric taxi where the list price was £65k but I think the shortage of availability has pushed the price up to as much as £100k after finance costs are considered. Bigger businesses could eat the cost but a lot of taxi drivers are sole traders and one man bands. A £6k bill would sting most of us. by twoxraydelta (Sun 4th Jun 2023 1:51am)

Can park on Edmiston Dr / Shieldhall Rd west of Helen St. Broomloan Rd which is mainly industrial and at the Newcastle end of the ground.

It can never under-read but the tolerance for over-reading your speed is 10% plus 6mph. So potentially your true speed could be 31 mph while your speedo shows 40. I look at the GPS speedo on Waze, set the cruise when that reaches 40 and it is rare that anybody is overtaking me. I’m usually rolling by everybody or catching up with cars in front and having to slow off. My own car is only a couple of MPH off but one of the company vehicles is showing 47 when GPS is showing 40. by twoxraydelta (Wed 14th Jun 2023 11:55am)

  • It will be showing a 7 minute wait because there will be cars dropping off at the airport, or hanging around the airport when they are not supposed to. They might not have a license there but they can still come and pick you up as you are going to their licensed area. I don’t know much about Uber but thats probably not a good fare for them. They will looking for something that takes them back into the city centre. Rather than driving over to Renfrew then into the West End. I’d try the local company, or Glasgow Taxis who have plenty of cars running empty back from the airport all day every day. I reckon their drivers would be quite happy to get something from Renfrew into the West End, which is prime Glasgow Taxi territory. by twoxraydelta (Thu 15th Jun 2023 10:45am)

But also Pollok is the same place they had to stop the buses going in because feral kids were a danger to the general public.

  • You need to do a course like [this](https://energytechnicalacademy.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgKy95anP_wIVGdrtCh0XkANSEAAYASAAEgKbaPD_BwE) They come at great expense. There is no guarantee of a job at the end of it. There is no guarantee you will enjoy it after spending so much money. I know a few guys that have been on courses like this. Some of them did come out the other end with decent paying jobs, one went on to start their own company (that failed in the end and he went back to being an employee of an established business). I’ve heard of people getting into the course, finding out it isn’t for them then having to cut their losses, having already paid up. You need to be a bit of a grafter for this type of thing.

  • Your chances are between slim and none unfortunately. Tickets won’t reach general sale. This fixture is obviously in high demand and almost every available seat is taken by current season ticket holders, corporate and club use. If you sign up to mygers then you would need to sign both yourself and your husband up at a cost of over £100 with no guarantee. You’ll be lucky to get one ticket never mind two - and more chance of seeing a unicorn than grabbing two together. There is sometimes a very limited amount of seats that do get made available to mygers members. These are made up of any spare seats after all of the above have had their share - then if any fans decide to use the seatsub ticket exchange system if they can’t make the match. That will be pure luck and circumstance. Seatsub seats are released sporadically in batches in the lead up to the game. At this point you are competing with thousands of others in the same situation. Another poster has mentioned hospitality but again this is unlikely. Hospitality space is usually made available first to existing seasonal clients purchasing extra seats and to people buying for more than one game. Hospitality for an Old Firm at Ibrox does not usually go on sale for a single match basis. by twoxraydelta (Wed 5th Jul 2023 1:22am)

  • Your company should be helping you with this. Many people feel the same as you when they take a step up but give it time you will grow into the role and gain confidence. Don’t be afraid to say you don’t know the answer to a question or you are unsure of how to do something. If someone senior asks you to do something and you are unsure, ask for guidance or help. If you are senior to a colleague and they need your help with something and you’re not sure, ask if you can get back to them on it, as long as it is not urgent. The important bit is that you then actually go do something about it and get back to them. If you fob people off and don’t make decisions then people quickly lose confidence in you. Also, you are not going to be able to keep everybody happy. Sometimes you need to tell people no. by twoxraydelta (Wed 5th Jul 2023 6:54pm)

  • You can petition them but it won’t make a bit of difference. First Bus are a private company operating for profit. It is a case of use it or lose it. I’ve been told by some mates who work at First that these services aren’t even making enough to cover the fuel used, never mind the drivers wages and all additional costs involved in running these services outwith normal operating hours. You’d be better contacting SPT or your MSP who can then try and get subsidised late night services if they deem them vital to the community. Might be a hard sell though given lots of late night workers are already getting free or subsidised taxis home and going into the town to get pished until 3am isn’t really vital to the community, even if enjoyable for some. by twoxraydelta (Mon 10th Jul 2023 12:09pm)

  • It isn’t up to the government to intervene in legitimate private business. If the Scottish government want a night bus running then they can run it themselves, provide subsidies or fund local authorities to operate local transport. First bus are a private company. It’s the same as saying ‘the scottish government need to step in and and tell my local newsagent he needs to stay open 24/7 because it suits me.” No they don’t. Until transport is in the hands of public authorities then we are at the mercy of private operators running a business to generate a profit. They do not need to provide services that lose them money. by twoxraydelta (Mon 10th Jul 2023 12:54pm)
  • Some buses are departing town empty or with a couple of folk on them. Even if it was 14 per hour per bus that is still not enough to cover costs of labour, fuel, support staff, wear and tear and so on. It’s not just a case of giving a driver a bus either. You need supervisors, mechanics, spare drivers in case of sickness or unforeseen circumstances. by twoxraydelta (Mon 10th Jul 2023 1:16pm)
  • Their statement doesn’t say that. It says they are REGULARLY operating with low passenger numbers.. It doesn’t matter what way you spin it, the number of passengers using the services does not justify the costs to operate it. We’ll use the N2 as an example. First run is 0100, and completed its last journey at 0355. Factor in running time to and from the depot we’ll call it 3.5 hours labour at £15 an hour. £52.50 Roughly 60 operating miles. We’ll be generous with 12mpg and call it about £32 in fuel. Times it by the 11 services that operate - £577.50 driver labour - £352 fuel The buses operate from 3 depots That means you need 3 supervisors to manage and monitor the output and running of services. They need to be in before the buses go out and be there after they arrive. We’ll say their shift is 4 hours managing nightbuses. (4*15)*3 = £180 You need spare drivers incase of absence (4*15)*3 = £180 You need a mechanic incase any of your buses breakdown 4*15= £60 You need a staff bus driver at each depot for the drivers who don’t have cars (4*15)*3 = £180 Plus fuel for the 3 staff buses lets say £60 You need a cleaner and someone to fuel the bus - £30*3 Maintenance/wear and tear lets again be generous and say 45p a mile - thats another £297 a night Multiply those costs by 2 since they operate by 2 nights we’re looking at £3.8k over the weekends. If we say each bus carries an average of 50 passengers per night (its actually much lower) thats £3.5k in revenue making loses of £300 a weekend. That is best case scenario with with inflated passenger numbers, suppressed labour costs, a bit of creative rounding to skew the figures in favour of public interest and it still doesn’t come out in profit. The reality of it is revenue is not even close to the numbers above. by twoxraydelta (Mon 10th Jul 2023 4:24pm)

  • The bottom line is first bus are a PLC with ultimate responsibility to their shareholders. They are under no obligation to provide services they don’t see commercially viable. Just like ASDA are under no obligation to keep my local supermarket open 24/7 as much as it would be convenient for me. The government sold our public services down the river years ago and over the years have decimated subsidies and grants provided to local bus operators into the bargain. You’re right local public transport helps society function as a whole, which is why it’s in the hands of public authorities in most places around the world. While it’s in the hands of a private ownership we are at the mercy of profit generating services or the transport authorities stepping in to subsidise/fund services which are deemed necessary to the community but not profitable to a private operator. by twoxraydelta (Mon 10th Jul 2023 5:04pm)

A degree of commercial sensitivity too. They like to keep their numbers and data as tight as possible. Sometimes even internally information is not shared well throughout the management structure.

  • Media training 101 - don’t give them a headline! Dunky boy sounds like he is fighting for his life in this interview but he is right about a few things. The loudest critics don’t understand the industry (or even running a business in general) that much is clear from comments being made across the board. The people coming out of the woodwork now “writing letters” to try and look good are the people with power to have actually done something about it. This decision didn’t happen overnight. First bus would have been in discussion with various parties for months. They would have attempted to get support funding/subsidies for it and looked at every alternative. It has obviously fell on deaf ears. First Bus will take the brunt of the bad press but the government should not be getting a free pass. Bus services are deregulated in Scotland. That means ANYBODY who is a fit an proper person can register a bus service and operate it. At the end of the day First Bus are a business that needs to generate a profit. There are some solutions to this: 1 - given public transport is a free market another bus operator could step in and operate night bus services - unlikely because all bus companies need to generate a profit and these night bus services don’t do that. The same goes for transport in general. Everybody complains about First Bus but there is nothing stopping anybody who things they can do better stepping in. It doesn’t happen. Thin margins mean the risk:reward ratio is not worth it and LEZ killed off loads of small operators who couldn’t afford newer buses. (LEZ applied to buses several years ago). 2 - the government/council could start up their own bus operation and run it for the good of the people. Why haven’t they? It would cost millions and be a massive financial black hole. For example Londons bus services lose £700m a year. Scaled to Glasgow that would be roughly £100m. 3 - simplest solution, government steps in with funding and provides a transport subsidy to keep the service running. Its standard industry practice to do this for services which are deemed vital to the community but not commercially viable.

  • Anybody can run a bus service. It is a deregulated free market. They register it, wait for approval from the traffic commissioner and start operating. You need a fit and proper person to be a transport manager with the appropriate CPC and you need a maintenance base for your vehicles. The people of this sub could crowdfund and start a bus service and run it they way they want as a solution to moaning like fuck about bus services on the daily. Could be ran as a non profit. Easy bit of publicity for McGills here but the services will be off within a year if the passenger numbers don’t increase.

There is legislation preventing taxis operating outwith their area except for specific circumstances.

  • Political extremism either way is never good. As with everything, there needs to be a balance. These hard left/hard right nutters are mostly sheep who will blindly follow a few ringleaders and defend the argument their side is on to the death. They get to feel part of something. Extreme politics has seen a rise over the last 10/15 years or so, ignited by social media and further fuelled by a few big political events. Hard lefties and the hard right argue with emotion rather than logic. Both think they are morally and technically correct but because they are arguing with emotion they are unable to see things from different perspectives or even balance. Every political argument you see online is full of manipulated facts and figures and even straight up lies in a big game of oneupmanship. This sub must be one of the best examples of groupthink.

Cleaning is nothing πŸ˜‚. £2 jet wash, £1 hoover. All in all, tram cost included you’d be £500 a month to commute by car and have all the conveniences of a car.

The minimum fare is £4 for half a mile and goes up in increments of 30p through a combination of time and distance. (Roughly £2.70 a mile after the the first 0.5 of a mile) The only extra charges are £1.40 between 23:00 and 06:00 hours - this is automatically added to the minimum fare so the meter starts at £5.40 rather than £4. An extra charge on christmas and new years day (I think £2.20 off the top of my head.) And £42 if you hit a whitey in the taxi by twoxraydelta (Sat 29th Jul 2023 11:50am)

  • Very interesting. Love old finds like this. The number 1 tram looks to be a loose combination of the present day 2 and 6 buses. Both corridors above are served by cross city routes, just a different variation these days. Present day: The first number 2 bus is 04:57 and the last from town is after midnight. The first number 6 bus is 04:56 and at the weekend towards Knightswood after midnight too. Night services still operating but nobody seems to be using them so we know they are for the chop as largely publicised. Services seem largely comparable tbh. Frequency has took a hit due to you know what. In 2019 the 2 was every 6 minutes. The 6A between Anniesland and Drumchapel was maybe a 10 minute service reduced to 12 now, but combines to create a bus every 6 minutes between Anniesland and City Centre. You could have gotten a bus into town then switched to an X4, 3 or 6 depending on which part of Knightswood you were going. I don’t seem to have any issues getting a taxi to or from town. End of the month is generally always busy in town. Add to that there was rugby and football on which brings people out into pubs as well as a match on at Parkhead, so there may have been a bit of a wait. They’ll come eventually. Town was very busy last night. by twoxraydelta (Sun 30th Jul 2023 7:10pm)

  • Get another (less intensive) job for 4 months so you can take more time for your interests but aren’t depleting your savings Whether they admit it or not, if you’re milling around, eating into savings or being propped up by your partner while they are out working, there’s a good chance resentment sets in before that 4 months is up. Unless you’re in a financial position where your money is working for you and generating significant ROI you’ll be surprised how quickly your savings pot disappears.

  • There is a loophole in the law that that means it’s not illegal to park in cycle lanes. It’s simply a parking issue and a matter for the council to deal with. There was an MSP working with a cycling charity a few years ago, trying to get the law amended but I don’t think it went anywhere. Certainly inconsiderate and goes against the highway code, but not something the police are going to waste their already stretched resources on. Suggest you simply cycle round the obstruction when safe to do so and avoid becoming an angry cyclist with a chip on their shoulder, making a scene in public. That energy is better spent trying to affect change where it can make a difference. by twoxraydelta (Sun 6th Aug 2023 2:02pm)

When you grow up you will understand not everything in life goes the way you want. I am both a cyclist and a motorist.

  • City centre light sequences were changed a few years ago to be more pedestrian focussed. Every junction and crossing has its own sequences. Hope St for example is timed to allow the flow of traffic to move off from Hope St at St Vincent and get all the way to Cowcaddens without stopping. Argyle St between Union and Queen St have huge pedestrian green times. Sometimes Traffcom take manual control of certain junctions to ease traffic congestion. You’ll see it a lot at West St for example. by twoxraydelta (Mon 7th Aug 2023 5:07pm)

May be long waits during peak arrivals. Glasgow Taxis (black purpose built cabs like London) fixed price £29 at any time and inclusive of fees. Picks up in car park 2 (meet and greet area). Has to be booked via the app or by calling Glasgow Taxis on 0141 429 7070. You can book on demand (when you collect your luggage). GlasGo cabs (regular passenger cars), similar conditions to the above but no fixed price. Price will depend on day/evening/weekend rates. Book on app or 0141 332 7070. Uber is hit or miss.

  • Like I said comes with the territory of living in such an area. You want to park right outside your home live in an suburban area with ample street parking and driveways. They are not your spaces. The parking is for everybody. Residents, businesses and visitors. Why do whinging people on here always use vulnerable people to prove a point. It is weird.

  • This applies to taxis hailed on the street (public hire). A taxi booked via Gett becomes private hire. Gett do say somewhere additional fee’s may be levied. Can’t remember the exact wording but that covers them in instances like the OP. My company were using Gett for a bit but their availability/service was sporadic so we switched over to an account with Glasgow Taxis. There are no boundary charges with them. It’s metered rate within Glasgow and fixed prices for airport and out of town. Edit: screenshot from Gett app https://preview.redd.it/vsggdws9m2ib1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8cd83e43f500cc17b271f4379950acaa92f0c45 by twoxraydelta (Mon 14th Aug 2023 12:35pm)
  • Hired from the street they can’t. From a legal standpoint Gett have themselves and the driver covered with their pricing information. From a customer service standpoint, sure it’s a bit shoddy. Would be nice of the driver to mention what the extra charges are. by twoxraydelta (Mon 14th Aug 2023 12:52pm)
  • Technically they have themselves covered by mentioning additional charges on the booking platform. From a customer service standpoint you’ve been stung. But from a legal standpoint they’ve done enough. You will have next to no chance getting a refund through your credit card company, and any refund issued by Gett would be just a gesture of goodwill but I wouldn’t hold my breath. They are basically just a middle man. by twoxraydelta (Mon 14th Aug 2023 12:58pm)
  • Yeah I think you may need to take this one on the chin unfortunately. The council will just refer you back to Gett and say they don’t regulate private hire fares. We ditched Gett after they left a female colleague stranded late at night. Taxi was booked and they only informed her 20 minutes after the booking time they had no availability. by twoxraydelta (Mon 14th Aug 2023 1:13pm)

  • A lot of people working in these types of roles become cynical, think everybody is at it and take things personally. Used to be the case Ticket Examiners got a small cut of their sales, something like 3%. Part of the reason the ticket is more expensive and also to encourage you to buy before you board. It can be done in under 2 mins, and purchased well in advance on the scotrail app so no excuses really. Train wifi works off mobile networks too, just with a better antenna and sometimes helped along with boosters. Good chance if theres no mobile signal the train wifi is going to be patchy too. by twoxraydelta (Wed 16th Aug 2023 4:39pm)

  • We get nowhere near as exited about halloween as America. You treat it like a whole holiday. An adult in the UK could potentially go through 31st Oct and be totally oblivious that it is halloween. I haven’t seen any trick or treating going on around my way for several years. A lot of people probably wouldn’t even answer their door. Last few years I’ve mainly heard of parents taking their kids to organised halloween parties. People showing up at the office with outfits or even the girls just putting on cat ears etc is rare. There are very few streets with houses full of decorations. You usually get one mad random bastard that goes OTT and ends up in a local newspaper somewhere.

  • They aren’t really well subsidised at all. Over the years subsidies for transport operators have been obliterated. BSOG provides a rebate on about 80% of the fuel duty tax. They still need to pay for diesel, which has sky rocketed recently. Over 60’s/disabled concessionary scheme pays a fraction of the full adult fare. Under 22’s scheme just replaces what would have been largely cash payments. Bus lanes and shelters are city infrastructure that were never the responsibility of private operators so completely moot point 🀦🏻‍♂️ by twoxraydelta (Mon 21st Aug 2023 7:11pm)
  • They are not getting money towards diesel. They are getting a tax break on fuel duty. (There are lots of tax relief schemes and tax breaks for companies across different industries and thousands of private companies being injected with government funding/taxpayers money. It doesn’t take much research to find that out.) Reduced subsidies and the fact it is “mainly concession cards” on buses during the day is partly what has lead to massive service reductions over the years and higher costs for fare paying passengers. by twoxraydelta (Mon 21st Aug 2023 8:14pm)

Concessionary passes are given to people who are entitled to them to get around. Transport operators accept them as a form of payment for providing a service. It’s not free money. It’s a benefit for the card holder who would have otherwise had to pay cash. by twoxraydelta (Mon 21st Aug 2023 10:44pm)

  • Not wise or fair to be name dropping someone whilst making a serious accusation. Especially since you’ve probably got the wrong name - and also got the police involved. The method you used will simply reveal the owner of the taxi and not the driver. In many circumstances taxi owners do not even drive the cab at all. All taxis with a yellow sticker SHOULD have a card machine. From what I am lead to believe all taxis dispatched by Glasgow Taxis must have a working card machine as per company policy. However if you hail a taxi from the street it is regulated under the conditions of GCC public hire (and not Glasgow Taxis policy) and as such no requirement to accept card payment. Would take a real bastard though to refuse card payment on a technicality. GCC really need to make it part of the license conditions to have working card terminals. by twoxraydelta (Wed 23rd Aug 2023 12:05am)
  • More likely poor cash flow management and annoyance at the fees (up to 3.5%). Taxis with radios in them are tracked everywhere they go. HMRC have a few sophisticated tools at hand, years of learning and data points. Add in location data, there is not much room for movement. Tax evasion is not as common in the taxi trade these days as this sub likes to believe. The forum is full of gossip merchants that thrive on tall tales. Money laundering, tax evasion, and polis helicopters get daily mentions on here. by twoxraydelta (Wed 23rd Aug 2023 12:38am)
  • Just reading through the comments. Have a friend who was in a similar situation so you have my sympathy. You will be hyperaware of your surrounding which isn’t helping. Unfortunately there are people everywhere you go that will be judgemental. The human race has a large number of ignorant people who think the only way to live is the way they have been taught. I’ve heard people make comments about girls of no religion heading to pubs/clubs in short dresses and showing a lot of skin - “who let them out like that” and so on. There are judgemental people across the board. It’s nobody else’s business. Obviously your situation is quite delicate and you’re stuck in the middle of not wanting to disappoint family, whilst leading your own life. Sometimes removing yourself from the environment that makes you unhappy can be helpful and take a lot of pressure off. When you can drive you will be able to go wherever you please for leisure and whatever else.

  • Do you think Mossad agents spent years posing as uneducated celtic fans online, just waiting for the moment they signed an Israeli so they could shower him in abuse and make the guy look like a victim.

  • At the end of the day every merchant can choose to accept whatever method of payment they want. Whether it be a taxi driver or a global corporation. There is no god given right to pay by card. It’s down to them whether they think the lost business is worth it or not. GCC are at fault for not making a working card terminal a mandatory part of license conditions. It is a weekly complaint on here and a well known issue that many taxis are cash only. Don’t know why people act surprised. Go down the rank until you get one that takes card, book on the app where you can pay by card in app, or be prepared with cash just incase. It’s not that hard. Cunts just like to make life difficult for themselves. by twoxraydelta (Mon 28th Aug 2023 11:29pm)
  • Not mandatory here in Glasgow, stop talking shite and spreading misinformation. No requirement from Glasgow City Council for taxis to have card machines.

  • Transport is deregulated. Anybody can register a bus service and run any route they see fit. There used to be lots of competition all over the city but dwindling transport subsidies and LEZ forced smaller operators away from the city or completely killed them off. (LEZ started years ago for buses with gradual introduction then scaling up percentages of fleet compliance over the course of several years.) Everybody on here greets like fuck about buses but the reality of it is the costs to operate a bus service is huge and the margins are thin. There is an understanding between the big companies that competition doesn’t really suit anybody. There is only so much growth a particular bus route can have so if they all start running on each others routes all it does is spark a bus war and split the pie. Competition along the likes of Paisley Rd West and down Pollokshaws Rd between First, McGills and Stagecoach is just enough to keep the authorities happy. by twoxraydelta (Fri 1st Sep 2023 6:13pm)

  • “Its aw the fault a the cooncil and the tories and the folk who don’t even live here using our services!” West Dunbartonshire is one of the most deprived areas in the entire UK. Council tax in surrounding council areas is largely comparable. People who travel into Glasgow are working for companies who pay sizeable business rates to fund council services. Every major city’s population swells during the day with commuters who fill the labour market. If companies set up elsewhere the council loses out on business rates, and all of a sudden Glasgow doesn’t need all of the amenities is has as a big city. by twoxraydelta (Wed 6th Sep 2023 7:17pm)

  • Why are you just making up absolute nonsense you obviously have no clue about. Bus companies are told to remove blocked and hot listed cards from circulation. by twoxraydelta (Wed 13th Sep 2023 8:05pm)
  • Have you got a link to something official confirming your made up story? It’s part of the conditions of issue and on the Transport Scotland website: If the electronic ticket machine did not recognise your card it may have expired or be damaged. If this is the case, please contact your Local Authority immediately to arrange a new card. The card will be dispatched as soon as possible and should be received within 7 days. If the card appears to be valid but does not work on the machine, the driver will give you the option to pay the full fare and keep your card or hand over your card in exchange for a seven day temporary pass. The temporary pass will be valid for free travel for you but the companion element will not be available. You should then contact your Local Authority immediately to request a new card. The card will be dispatched as soon as possible and should be received within 7 days. by twoxraydelta (Wed 13th Sep 2023 8:17pm)
  • What are you talking about. You clearly did not understand what you read and have jumped the gun. The above information is in relation to NEC/Young Scot Cards and lifted right off of Transport ScotlandπŸ˜‚. Where are you pulling banks, passports and tesco club cards from? You’ve went away of course. To make it simple for you: The bus companies act as agents for the local authorities and Transport Scotland when accepting these cards. They have the authority to withdraw non working cards. by twoxraydelta (Wed 13th Sep 2023 8:36pm)
  • Depends what the reason for withdrawal is. Out of date cards and hot listed cards should be withdrawn. If it’s just a case of card not working (i.e faulty or damaged) then the option should be given to pay the fare and keep the card, or hand the card over and receive a temporary 7 day pass. If passenger opts to keep the card then they will need to pay on every bus they get on. by twoxraydelta (Wed 13th Sep 2023 8:49pm)

If you want to guarantee a driver is available for you at a specific time and date then really you need to book a chauffeur/limo service where you pay a premium. That being said there will be taxi availability. Drivers will be encouraged into work with the higher fares and many taxi drivers will not celebrate christmas anyway. Private hire is double fare. Uber will have a multiplier probably at least 2x. Black cabs are normal metered fare plus £2.50. by twoxraydelta (Wed 8th Nov 2023 11:37am)

However, North Kelvinside was never a part of Maryhill Police Burgh prior to its incorporation into Glasgow in 1912 and the area is markedly different socially and architecturally. North Kelvinside was originally part of a country estate, which became enveloped by the surrounding city. As a result, many buildings date from the early twentieth century. It is located on the northern edge of Glasgow's west end and its southern boundary is marked by the River Kelvin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Kelvinside by twoxraydelta (Sat 11th Nov 2023 12:42pm)
