This afternoon, I was interviewed for tonight's STV news about my concerns regarding the City Council's SNP Administration education 'savings' proposals that propose a so-called "City Campus" for senior pupils that would see pupils having to travel between schools for classes. I have called for a proper explanation of how this would actually work but judging by comments made by the SNP Education Convener in tonight's Evening Telegraph, she has "yet to fully consider transport for the plan." Announced, but not thought through. Astonishing.
Thereafter I had the pleasure of attending the launch in the City Square of Stagecoach Strathtay's fleet of brand new vehicles for the "Tayway" 73 service (Arbroath to Ninewells Hospital, including the West End).
The buses are brand new Enviro 400 buses, which benefit from state of the art technology, including the latest “green” Euro 5 engines, CCTV, free wi-fi and low floor entrances, making them easily accessible for wheelchair and buggy users. New branding has also been fitted to the vehicles, allowing the public to easily identify the 73 service.
I'm pictured (below) at the new buses at City Square after the launch.
