Saturday the 19th

Firstly, I caught the 0905 bus to Helensburgh due 0950, but at 1000 Shelter (open 0900-1700) was closed. Weird. Anyway this time the 1010 Helensburgh Central to Edinburgh due 1213 was not affected and we went to the Cowcaddens Fire Station (where I totally knocked down two bottles of water and nearly gave the cars a wash with the hose), then to the Glasgow Sheriff Court where I got a tour of the building and swag, then to a medical college where I did a quiz and won more swag, and then bought chips, then took the 320305 from Glasgow Central to Exhibition Centre, where I went the Govan Community Bike Workshop, then to the Subway No.3 1896-present from IBROX-PTK where we had JUST missed the 1747 to Helensburgh Ctl so we had a 1/2 hour in Partick till the 1818 to Helensburgh Ctl, and had 5 minutes in Helensburgh till I got the 1905 bus home due 1950 and got home.

Thursday the 17th

Firstly, I just want to tell you I was delayed getting into Partick when my train terminated at Dumbarton Central, so that train changed from the '2H50 1010 Helensburgh Central to Edinburgh due 1122' to the '2H50 1010 Helensburgh Central to Dumbarton Central due 1025'. Please note: When I say the code '2H50' I mean the '2H50 1010 Helensburgh Central to Dumbarton Central due 1025' train. Secondly, instead (if the 2H50 hadn't terminated at Dumbarton Central) of staying on the 2H50 until Partick, I got off at Dalreoch and waited for seven minutes for the 1031 to Airdrie, calling at Dumbarton Central, Dumbarton East, Bowling, Kilpatrick, Dalmuir, Singer, Drumry, Drumchapel, Westerton, Anniesland, Hyndland, Partick, Charing Cross (Glasgow), Glasgow Queen Street, High Street, Bellgrove, Carntyne, Shettleston, Garrowhill, Easterhouse, Blairhill, Coatbridge Sunnyside, Coatdyke and Airdrie. It got in at my destination at Partick at 1107 (three minutes late, due in at 1104), so I got 1110 service to Larkhall, getting into Exhibition Centre at 1113, 20 minutes late, due to the termination of the 2H50 train. Thirdly, on the way to the Glasgow Science Centre the normal bridge-I-use-all-the-time (Millennium Bridge) was closed, it said: BRIDGE CLOSED. PLEASE USE BELLS BRIDGE. My mum doesn't like the Bell's Bridge as much as the Millennium Bridge and didn't except this barbarity of the Millennium Bridge. After the Glasgow Science Centre, my mum and me and my brother went to the bus stop for the bus called the X19 to Easterhouse (The front of the X19 buses says 'Easterhouse X19' or 'Glasgow X19' or 'Queen Elizabeth University Hospital X19') and we made a HUGE mistake: We were thinking that the X19 went on Renfield St, when I saw through the window that the X19 should fly past that street, and it did follow the exact route (going direct to Easterhouse), which means we get a wild goose chase to the Glasgow School of Art and the Reed building. So we got to Helensburgh at 1625 instead of 1555/1558 for my fitness class at 1645. So at 1805 my bus left Helensburgh and we arrived back at our house at 1850, after dinner here. That's all for now folks!

Trouble at Ibrox on Saturday the 12th

THE TROUBLE AT IBROX: Big Queue of football fans from Ibrox Stadium, Only 1 out of the 2 doors open, Had to go to Govan tube station (With less but still more football fans), Miss 2 subway trains (1 cause of it closing it's doors right before Chloe got down, the other cause there was space but we weren't fast enough, but I got the next one in 2 mins.

Saturday the 12th

Saturday didn't start as normal day. Firstly I chatted on (and off) the 1009 bus to the guy who lived in this house called Alisa Craig. Secondly on the 1110 "train no. 334020" train to Edinburgh via Glasgow Queen Street LL, Airdrie and Bathgate we saw people, one Helensburgh Central to Charing Cross, one Dumbarton Central to Partick, and last but not least, two Dalmuir to Edinburgh, and the Police of Scotland for the big game in Ibrox (Said "Hi" to no.4331 Police of Scotland cop). Thirdly I talked to Gil in Shelter Helensburgh, then at the Glasgow Science Centre there was 0x Flame On! shows in the Science Show Theater. Forthly we went to the Govan Community Bike Workshop (GCBW) and there was every bike fixed so they decided to close at like 1630 instead of 1700 due to the football and them going to the closed at 1600 African Arts Centre (AAC), one of the gang let us in at 1635 and when we left I saw 2000x Football fans that bashed fast to the Subway Ibrox/Govan (see "Trouble at Ibrox on Saturday the 12th" for more information about the problem in Ibrox). Once we had gotten to Partick the train to Helensburgh Central gotten packed, packed, packed, you get the idea of football fans at Partick. Anyway, that's all for now folks.

ATA werdio

The ATA (Automatic Train Announcements) on 334037+334006 was totally wrong on the 1040 ScotRail service from HLC (Helensburgh Central) to EDB (Edinburgh Waverley) on 03/09/2015. Here is the lines of stupidness coming up:
P alighting from = DBC (DumBarton Central).
BO30000 = DMR (DalMuiR).
, = Charing Cross (Glasgow).
67/77 = HYN (HYNdland).
, = PTK (ParTicK).
 o Balloch a = DBE (DumBarton East).
Please = Cardross
So you have got it now? Good. One day you'll need this, but possibly not.

Love,
The ScotRail Man.
