Even if it's raining you can finish your shopping in the mall and get straight onto a bus without getting wet. If you find there's a wait till the bus you want, it's no bother going back to do some more shopping in the meantime (for a woman anyway!!) The drivers all seem very pleasant and the buses are clean and well looked after. The buses don't always run to time very well and there can be a bit of a wait. My only other gripe is that they sometimes come into a different number of stand to what you expect, so, even if you'd been at the front of the queue, by the time you rush over to where the bus has stopped you might find yourself at the end of one!! There is an undercover waiting area with seats and several electronic departure information screens which are very useful. There's a nearby newsagent just inside the mall which sells snacks and drinks. Kilmarnock is a fantastic 'hub' with buses going to other towns and villages in all directions. I particularly like the quick service to Glasgow from here but the one I use most is the one which takes me home, if I have too much shopping to walk back.

There's a saying that 'if it gets you from A to B, that's all that matters'... someone should tell…read moreFirst Bus that that's a lie. Personally, I'd rather get from A to B without getting a headache from the in-your-face purple, turquoise and blue décor they plaster the insides of their buses with. And I also don't understand how they can justify charging more than Lothian Buses do - First cover a fraction of the routes that Lothian do, and Lothian's buses are much cleaner inside and run to timetable a lot more than First. There's a reason they're lagging miles behind Lothian Buses. No pun intended!

With less First Buses about Edinburgh they obviously do less routes however, most of the routes they do you can instead use Lothian buses! More expensive, not by that much, First Bus Company are really pushing it! If I was paying more, I would expect a more direct route than other services, better conditioned buses, bus services which are on time (Very annoying!) and cheery bus drivers. I got none of these things, the bus was late, I was worried that the double decker First bus was going to break down and the bus driver didn't even let me try and sit down before he stormed off! People of Edinburgh, just stick with Lothian buses, they convenient, mostly on time and cost less than First Buses!

One of the first stations to be refurbished, Hillhead now looks like an overly-lit public toilet…read morewith its uniform coverage of large white tiles and really bright fluorescent lighting. There's no attempt at any artistic merit at the platform level; however that is redeemed largely by the fantastic Alasdair Gray mural on the entrance concourse wall. I feel they have missed a trick with the refurbishment by not taking the opportunity to install LED lighting and incorporate more design elements on the platforms. It's hard to maintain the sense of individuality that the stations used to have when they are all bright white tiles. Some design motifs would have helped, and with LED lighting they would not only be more eco-friendly, they could change the mood of the lighting to suit the occasion. The best it can be described as is functional and utilitarian. But I do love the mural upstairs.

For me, the Hillhead subway station is pretty ideal. It has both staffed and self-service ticket…read moresales points and it has plenty of space in the main entrance and six turnstiles for its hundreds of customers - Hillhead is one of the busiest subway stops in the city. It also has that cool Alastair Grey tiled mural and a coffee shop. This stop is especially handy for Byres Road, the Botanic Gardens and the University of Glasgow which goes some way to explaining why its one of the busier stops on the Clockwork Orange. It's definitely a bit crowded at peak times but the regular rate of trains passing through mean that this isn't normally an issue. It has just reopened following works to modernise the subway in (summer 2016). However, since these works were necessary for sections of track at the depot, rather than for the stations themselves, it looks more or less the same as it did before.

There's a staffed ticket office but there are machines to buy tickets from as well. The station also has bike racks, a small car park, a coffee kiosk, waiting rooms and free WiFi via the Cloud. You can reach Milngavie centre via an underpass just outside the station. Also right outside the station is a small but pretty little square with a couple of benches - possibly a nicer place to sit in sunny weather. It's a well kept station with baskets of flowers and plants around and is apparently a grade B listed building.

But as train stations go, this is a pretty damn good one. Old fashioned in appearance, the station boasts plenty of sheltered areas, a spacious ticket office and a little kiosk for a bite to eat or something to read for the train journey; relatively rare for stations on this line. Furthermore, and best of all, it offers several bike lockers which are particularly handy given Helensburgh remains a fairly popular place for a day trip. It is situated bang in the town centre with plenty of nearby eating and drinking options. Perfect. In saying that, it's probably just about true to say Helensburgh Upper is a better option if you're visiting the area for a look around Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Hill House. Personally, I'd choose the extra five minute walk just because I like this station but please don't feel like you have to do likewise.

Strangely, that's what this station used to be known as before the 1980's renovation of the entire subway system. What is now Partick station used to be called Merkland Street, and to avoid confusion when that station was moved to better serve the main line rail station, Partick Cross was renamed Kelvin Hall, despite the fact that it's at least a brisk 5 minute walk from the aforementioned venue. The location of Kelvin Hall station down a wee lane with access from both Dumbarton Road and Dalcross Street is very handy, although the lane used to be a bit scary in the dark and smelled of wee most of the time, with the odd bottle of Buckie occasionally found gracing the pathway. With the recent refurbishment things have improved dramatically and it finally has some decent lighting, although you are still often confronted by a mound of domestic furniture and other rubbish at the Dalcross Street end, which seems to have become a popular location with the locals for fly-tipping despite the best efforts of the Council to keep it tidy.
