&amp; Keith are a refreshing change from old school bus managers</p> <p>They use many different applications for modern systems, with the most relevant being the request stop systems so that the coach driver gets a manifest displayed on the cab binnacle en route, and only stops when there are passengers getting on/off</p> <p>I travelled from Glasgow to Kinross one Saturday, to have breakfast with a LeJog ride &amp; ride to Perth with them</p> <p>I was on 03.19 coach to Dundee &amp; changed at St Madoes (05.00-05.30) the coach was well filled with U22 bus pass users (not driving home?) &amp; one guy got off at Auchterader at 04.30 for a 1½ mile hike from the A9 coach stop</p> <p>I'm pressing Ember to call at Gills Bay and JoG road end (by Youth Hostel) as they cannot get use of the Citylink coach stand on Scrabster Harbour, whilst there's no decent coach service to Gills Bay for the faster &amp; shorter Pentland Ferries service (3 per day) to St Margarets Hope</p> <p>Hoping that Ember

384990@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot people might remember that the <strong>Avis/Budget</strong> attempt to operate a car club in Edinburgh failed miserably &amp; the London operation reports suggest they have learned nothing - and neither have their users, treating the car club like a conventional car hire system, and with a limited choice of hire locations in London. </p> <p>Co Wheels a CIC has partnered with local communities (Bute, Huntly, Mull ...) to develop a wider network as has Enterprise - there's a car at Berwick on Tweed station for a quick trip to Lindisfarne if you're not catching the bus (422 Perrymans/Borders Buses (Craigs) which has a different timetable every day, to suit the tides)</p> <p>Car club cars also useful where you make the long haul trip by train or coach, and use the car for your luggage (to save dragging cases around!) </p> <p>In 1996 the work I did with <strong>EU CIVITAS</strong> placed a car club (Cambio) as part of the portfolio for Total Mobility using a single portal (the <strong>ITSO Bus Pass</strong>) to hire bikes, cars, use buses etc 24 hr/day</p> <p>The current offers around Edinburgh include<strong> East Lothian Council</strong> making their pool cars available through<strong> HiyaCar</strong> to registered users</p> <p>Some large employers in Edinburgh are quietly offering a combined personal/company account deal for car club membership so that for work trips you use a car &amp; the bill goes to the employer, but private trips you get the bill. Its effectively a £6000/yr pay rise if you can get rid of owning a car</p> <p>There are also deals for young drivers (19-22) that avoid the crippling costs of insurance, and provide new, well maintained cars paying only for what you use, and a small (c£12/month) premium on membership charges with slightly higher hourly rates. Using the Under 22 bus pass with the express coaches all over Scotland 24/7 this really opens up options</p> <p>Glasgow, with Co-Wheels now has electric cars all over the city (I've 3 within a few minutes walk) and this year I've spent under £200 Total on motoring </p> <p>PM to develop the <strong>Mobility Makeover</strong>? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8710&page=76#post-384988 Sun, 05 Jul 2026 13:53:19 +0000 Tulyar 384988@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot Lee Harrison seems to have jumped from the frying pan into the fire with his move to replace Jane Cole - wife of Barry Cole who was a railway manager covering the WCML routes in Lancashire &amp; other transport projects, as his move to Blackpool Trams landed at the same time as their heritage tram base (the old Rigby Road depot was condemned, and then the wheel condition for their new Flexcity tram fleet was given a safety close-down order by ORR, due to the raised risks of derailments with worn tyres<br /> Blackpools trams are Alsthom - Edinburghs are CAF but I've noted some internal rows concerning the tyre wear &amp; thus risks of flange climbing &amp; derailments<br /> All this is somewhat technical &amp; would relate to operating trams on railway tracks, where pointwork &amp; other detail requires certain adaptations.
