I think he thought bus was empty, then noticed me late around 35 minutes into the bus journey. He said. This is the last stop. I told him it's not as I get the same bus and squally same time if bus. He ended up dropping me off. Check your navigation system. It was either last or 2nd last bus. And was 3 days ago I think. One other thing too for all your drivers. It's not a racing track at you must put the foot down going round corners. Oh. And go easy on the breaks guys. I think when people and their belongings are falling off the seats then that is a sign. Bonus though. Wifi is good, and unlike other transport, the wifi is great.

Lothian Buses replaced East Lothian's First bus services with a new company called East Coast…read more There seems to be a lot more buses now and they are more comfortable with better value for money. As they are part of TfE, you can buy something called a County Plus day ticket which gives you unlimited access to their services, Lothian daytime services and all tram stops except the airport. You can also upgrade to the Network day ticket which is the same as County Plus but you can get to the airport by tram, and you can access Airlink and Skylink. Since you can use all of Edinburgh's transport with these deals, it is much better than what First was. Getting from Dunbar to Edinburgh only costs £5.60 for a return - by train it would cost £11. Although it takes longer, it is much better value. I now like buses! I used to be quite doubtful but now I am a fan.

This is a terrible company. Their buses are always late if…read morethey decide to show up at all. one of the "must avoid" if you ever visit Edinburgh. they do no own up to their complete inadequacy to run bus services. They would do a city a favor if they declared that they would stop their services to give away to another company. absolute thiefs to, bus fare is expensive and you are paying to arrive 1 hour late to whatever you planed because their buses won't show up or will show up 1 hour after you expected them.

Buses are for two groups of people - the people who know where they're going and the tourists who…read moreknow nothing about the city or how to get from A to B. Since I fall in the second group for Edinburgh, I can say that I was at first a little bit confused and slightly lost. That cleared up very quickly once I was directed to the Lothian office near Waverley Bridge. A friendly and helpful clerk (who must deal with people like me day-in and day-out) was able to explain the day ticket (£3? All day? Yes.) and provide me with a map of the bus routes. Five minutes later, I was waiting at my stop and five minutes after that, I was in the front row of a double-decker on the way to my destination. The bus ticket is surprisingly simple and very clever. I purchased three, as I'm here three days. Each one has a series of scratch offs for the day, month and year. You just scratch off the right date and you're good to go. Nice. The buses I've ridden have been clean and prompt. While the ride may be speedy, the roads are a little bumpy. I think my driver yesterday actually missed one of the drains! They also have an iPhone app (jeez, there's an app for everything!) so you can find the nearest stop and when the bus is due to arrive.

We booked a 2 island tour for late June 2024. We booked in December of 2023. Then we saw they…read moreoffered a 3 island tour. We emailed them about changing to that tour. No response for literally 5 months. They responded finally and said that was fine. There was an additional charge-we understood that. They did not ask for payment. Now we are there, literally in Oban the day before our tour. We were supposed to get details about the trip emailed to us, including our ferry tickets. Nothing. We went to the store front (after a days drive to get there). It was closed. Now what? We got up early and walked in the rain to go to the shop. The person behind the counter said "oh ya, I know about that one." We had emailed them asking what the status was-again no response. They hadn't sent us the email because we owed them the balance. Could they not have contacted us to share that info? We live in the US, so calling would have been very expensive. We paid the balance and ran to get on the boat. Better communication please! The tour itself was lovely, but it was stressful in the planning stages.

A lot of people miss or forget facilities that are available to them, here there is use of free toilets and there is a bag drop of where you can leave your bags here for an hour or two, only costing £1 per bag, train station charges £3 for one hour for a small locker. You couldn't get staff any nicer here, I've always found them very helpful and polite, the office is ideally located at the sea front where all the shops are, and only a few minutes walk to the ferry terminal. The bus stop for the city link bus to glasgow is right outside.

She was very responsive via email about the vehicles available and helping with itinerary questions while planning our week long trip from Edinburgh into the highlands and back. The bus we selected was a 25 passenger Mercedes bus. We found their vehicles much nicer than anything else we came across during our research and the photos were accurate to what we received. The bus itself had plenty of storage and it was in excellent high end condition. Bob was our driver and he could not have been any better. We expected a driver but what we got was a wonderful driver/tour guide wrapped into one. Bob knows his stuff and guided us every step of the way. I could not have been more pleased and all 17 in our group shared the same opinion.

Got on one of their buses right off the cruise ship. No fuss, no muss. Fair price. Clean bus…read more No worries. Made it into Glasgow in about 30 minutes. The return trip was totally different. Apparently the bus is now a city bus making many stops and filling with all sorts of passengers, not just cruise passengers. And I mean packed full! Ridiculous! I felt badly for anyone waiting at a bus stop. They were greeted with a packed bus full of disgruntled riders. Eventually, we got close to the cruise terminal and, without much warning, were told to exit and get on another bus that was waiting. We did so and made it to the terminal in a couple of minutes. Having read some reviews on Trip Advisor (while crammed on the bus), I noticed that this situation is not new and is really a regular occurrence. My advice - take a taxi or the nearby train.

I first parked at Shields Road by accident, I'd gotten myself lost in the confusing streets of…read moreTradeston and couldn't find Bridge Street. I now prefer Shields Road, so it all worked out well in the end. It's easy to get to off the M8 or M77, so is very handy if you're coming from the south or east. It's located opposite the beautiful Scotland Street School which is always nice to look at early in the morning! There is a multi storey carpark as well as an outdoor parking area, meaning there is always lots of parking spaces no matter what time of day you arrive. I always just park in the outdoor area as I hate the monotony of driving up and down levels trying to find a spot. From the outside carpark it is maybe a 3 minute walk to the underground which even on a wet weather day is bearable (with a brolly). The station itself is small and simple. One platform, inner circle on the left, outer on the right and trains come about every 5 minutes so you're not waiting long. From Shields Road it's 8 minutes to Buchanan Street, or 6 minutes to St Enoch (my two main stations). For car parking and a return underground ticket you'll pay £5 which I think is great value, especially now that onstreet parking in the city centre has gone up again. I often take advantage of The Fish People shop when returning to my car to pick up some fresh fish for dinner that night, which is very handy. I can't think of what Shields Road would need to get this to be a 5 star review, I guess I'm just not that passionate about public transport. Fun fact: I was petrified of the underground for at least a year.

Park and Ride! (£5 all day parking inc return subway ticket)…read more For years I've either caught the train or driven the hour to north Glasgow on the M77/M8. I've often wondered about Shields Road Park and Ride subway station, but until this week never had the opportunity to check it out. Well blow me down if this isn't the best way to get into the city centre without all the hassle of fighting my way through that last few miles of gridlock, or trying to find an affordable parking space. I used the facility late morning/midweek. There were plenty of parking bays available outside the station, and probably plenty in the multi-storey car park too. It was quite a straightforward procedure. I took a ticket at the barrier on my way in, parked, then showed it to the lady at the subway ticket booth. Five pounds was handed over in return for a return subway ticket and the parking ticket which would get me out through the barrier on my return. Worked a treat, and really suited my travel plans. Its opposite the Scotland Street School Museum so I managed to get a little photo opportunity to boot. Win win!
