Good Points

Quite few in our area (Scottish Borders). Drivers are, for the most part, nice enough.


Bad Points

Very poor fleet (mostly). Timetable adherence is a joke. Sham evening services.


General Comments

First Bus pertains specifically to route 95 through the Scottish Borders.
The Scania single-decks are fast and smooth... and very rare. The usual bus is a smelly, noisy and dirty ex-City of Northampton double-deck, or an old single-deck of dubious parentage. The cost of the travel is silly (it's cheaper to drive even if you factor in fuel, insurance tax etc.) The timetabling is a joke with buses (sometimes) arriving (and leaving) early, but usually (very) late. No useable evening service. The Midlothian area to the north fares much better in terms of fare and service levels and rolling stock.
