HIBS v ST MIRREN LOTHIAN BUSES ON STRIKE

[BILLYHIBS]

LOTHIAN BUSES ON STRIKE

Hopefully might be resolved but Lothian Buses are due to go on strike on Friday 2/8/2019 coming for maximum effect to hit the Edinburgh Festivals and might disrupt services on the day of the big match

Lothian Buses advise customers to keep up to date on their Facebook page

We could have an unofficial car share. People with spare seats could arrange to pick up and drop off those toiling for transport.

With the various social media platforms available to Hibs fans it could work.

Thanfully the privatisation of the bus services introduced much needed competition, like the Tories promised it would, so there's loads of alternative bus companies we can use instead.

[Wee Effen Bee]

I think it will all be fixed today! Plans are afoot to resolve the situation this morning.

Is it an ongoing strike then and not just for one day?

Says it’s a discontinuous strike so I would assume a series of 1 day strikes until agreement is reached.

[Diclonius]

Are the trams still on?

East coast is part of Lothian Buses I think so they might be on strike as well.

East coast buses are running.

The two services an hour* they provide from Abbeyhill to the Ciy Centre are gonna be pretty busy, though.



* I'm probably exaggerating, they might have as many as three.

I recall something similar when i was a youngster.
Buses off. Snow or strike, i cant remember.
But we couldnae get a bus fae Clerry
So a gang of us walked it ;)

Shanks Pony for you younger guys


Easy Peasy !!

Ma Grandad and his pals from The Market once walked to Glasgow for a game.
Left the day before and camped overnight on the way !!

[southsider]

The late Sammy Martinez once got left after a game at Montrose or somewhere like that and walked back to Edinburgh.

No many pubs oot this way i did not use over the years.
The Oak and Barnton public bar were mostly jamboes.

Ma wee pal Tattie wiz a jambo regular in the Barnton.
Some guy Tattie (RIP)

Andy Goram used to pop in theref or a game of dominoes.

And of course Eddie Turnbull popped in now and then.
I once aked him that oft asked question.

Why did you release Jimmy ?
He had mellowed a bit by then and agreed with what most other Hibernians thought at the time .
Too soon.

Ma brothers Billy and John used the Oak more than me back in the day.
They didnae get any grief fae jamboes in there !
(or anywhere else for that matter)

The Clerry Inn now is mainly Hibby's and a few Celts.

I was in the Mid last Thursday afternoon.(heatwave day)
Sitting ootside wae some regulars.

All bar one a Hibernian, including 3 ST holders.


OoPs...Off Topic


Haud the bus, driver !!
