For example today i need to get a bus from a train station to another train station, to get the train, then another bus because that train broke down, and then i was late for collage, and ITS ALL THEIR FAULT!!!

i was standing on a platform at 7am this morning and didnt get into glasgow till 9.30!!!!

Yeah the buses ain't much better! I get on the EXPRESS bus to Glasgow at 7.30am and quite often don't get into the station until 9.20am.

Scotrail get on me aswell. Lack of service on a Sunday till about 1pm for half the year on the train line near me. Also rediculous things like sending a two carriage v v old diesel train to deal with about the busiest time on a Saturday going into Edinburgh on the East L line ,usually a much bigger and newer electric train :/. iirc Scotrail franchise is up at the moment and people are bidding, wonder how that'll go !

They seem to put the smallest trains on at the busiest times. The 7:43 from Ayr to Glasgow and several times I've actually had to go to Glasgow cuz I couldn't get off at Paisley. The carriage was just too busy. They only had 3 carriages. Then when I was coming back at about 2pm they had a 6-carriager and i don't think there were more than 10 ppl in each one.
