Re: Travel, best solution? Montrose - Mallaig

Is that a Scottish bus pass? I don't think they take English or Danish bus passes.

Re: Travel, best solution? Montrose - Mallaig

For the past eight years now we've had a One Scotland card which kicks in once you hit 60. It gives access to many programmes - one of which is unlimited (time/geographical extent) free travel throughout our country via bus and coach services. It's all to do with social inclusion. Or dating opportunities for the elderly, yes please . . .

Tempted as I am to let rip on a Political Rant (No! No! Spare us from this Horror(Ed)) I'll be a good boy for once! And yes, there is an election coming up Thursday May 07. And yes, no matter how you feel, no matter your political persuasion, every vote counts - or else apathy triumphs!

Sounds a great system for us oldies!

Although disappointed about not being able to use my English bus pass in Scotland I was pleased to find that my Youth (!) Hostel card gives me a discount on the bus.

Re: Travel, best solution? Montrose - Mallaig

It is, indeed a Scottish bus pass, aka entitlement card. And democracy will come before the challenge. I will get to the polling station at 7 am in order to vote before the bus picks me up there at 7:15.

Re: Travel, best solution? Montrose - Mallaig

Way to go Vanessa! I too will be at my polling station at 7:00am! It's a hugely important vote for us all!

Re: Travel, best solution? Montrose - Mallaig

I too will be voting at 7am before walking to the station. So anyone who'll be seeing me later in the day, I am grumpy when tired...
