Not many places for me. Blackpool appeals to a certain demographic. Its popular with people from the West Coast of Scotland.

Did easyjet Southend to Edinburgh at one point?

I took the M11 from London to Glasgow via Reading and it was a new Irizar. I have also seen the VDL and Yutong on it. M11x gets VDL or the Panorama from what I have seen.

Last time I took the M20 it was an Interdeck! Not sure if all runs on M11 and M20 are the new Volvos yet, the seats look the same as found on the Panoramas. I know Macleans have a few runs on the M11, best avoided.

Was looking at prices on GLA - SOU. Prices are sky high on bank holiday weekend, £278 one way and some flights over the next few weeks are sold out. Route must be doing well. Hopefully more flights are added.

I am not keen in letting someone take my car and park it. I use car parks where I park myself. Some of prices at Glasgow airport are high for short trips, £70 for one night!

I remember that 600 route. It was limited stop too. At the same time there was a limited stop 601 from Braehead to East Kilbride operated by first.

A recent example of a short lived NX route is the 184 from Edinburgh to Liverpool. April to October 2023.

I had a good ride on the 0627 from Manchester yesterday from P13. The buffet was open too.

Portugal was interesting on the Douro line, the doors were open upon departure fro Porto but the guard made sure they were all shut.

I was impressed with the Dutch guard on the Berlin to Amsterdam service with her announcements in German.

Noticed a new service 466 from Bradford to London via Birmingham Airport and Heathrow.

I do wonder how will the extension of the 902 into Edinburgh City Centre will affect the reliability of the service.

I was staying at a Premier Inn last week and for the first time it was table service for breakfast. I prefer the buffet set up. I wish Premier Inn had the option for a breakfast roll rather than a full fry up.

The 902 acts as the Glasgow to Livingston service. Its popular with shoppers. Strange that its a Citylink service along with the 922, could easliy be run by Stagecoach for example.
