Fabulous!💪🥳

Woah Ellie this looks amazing! Congratulations xx

So proud to know you!! Xx

♥️

It's a pity that most people are struggling through intense hardship due to the high costs of living, taxes and inflation in our great nation. I'm just glad that Hector Manuel Rivera is assisting me alongside numerous chaps benefit from the Crypto market. I've been earning decent quids lately

Ellie, is it possible to get more stickers? I've nearly used all the ones that I got at the CCA. Thanks in advance (I was the one with the bus hoodie and bus tattoo!).

Question for Ellie Harrison. See the old 1930 Monopoly boundary, that existed in Glasgow pre 1982? Did the same rules apply to outside operators, when entering Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen also?? Something else I wonder if you are aware of?? Did you know that the old monopoly boundary in Glasgow, wasn’t actually, at the official city council boundary?? It was much further in. E.G. coming in from Bishopbriggs on a bus. The monopoly boundary was at Hawthorn street /Springburn rd Police station., and not at Colston road, where the actual City Boundary is today. (Hence the old Boundary Bar being situated there, before it was demolished in the 1970s to make way for the Springburn bypass.) Reason for this discrepancy, was this was where the original boundary was in 1930, when the system was established. As Glasgow grew, the monopoly boundary didn’t. Hence Scottish Midland buses, serving Drumchapel, and Eastern buses serving Easterhouse. And Not Corporation/PTE buses. Hopefully, we can talk them into bringing that back in too. And it will mean, I can run past all the bus stops, after Springburn rd, and not stop till I get to the bus station. Ha ha!

Fabulous show. So factual too. I’ve worked in the bus industry since I passed my test in 1999, when I was 21. It really does show up the Privatised Deregulated bus industry in Glasgow for the total and complete profit driven shambles that it is. How we ever gave up the quality system we had is beyond me?? They’ve been talking about RE-Regulating the bus industry since I passed my test. But that’s all the politicians have done. Talk talk and more talk. No action! Hopefully this time, surely we’ll get this policy MOVING forward! I worked in the London transport (Tottenham Garage) on loan from Arriva Inchinnan for a year in 2000, when I was 22. That system down there WORKS, for ALL. The TFL regulated London bus industry, should be the model which every city in Britain adopts. Either that or the fully nationalised Edinburgh system. They WORK, Deregulation DOES’NT!!

Loved the show, got in off the wait list and so pleased I saw it. Couldn't believe that back in the 1980s before deregulation got going, we could buy a card that worked on both subway and buses!

That’s a good piece of publicity, Ellie, and might even get somewhere.

Paul Jones and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Brilliant!

Whoop! Congrats!
