Thursday 15th September for a music gig. RMT have called a strike on this day so can I get a bus from Buchanan Street to Edinburgh city centre? I know there's a bus that goes to EDI airport.
Thanks in advance.

Hi bill, there is a bus directly to the city centre that should run every 15 minutes bookable with Megabus with fares from £3.90. On previous RMT strike dates ScotRail have been able to run a limited service including trains from Queen Street to Edinburgh Waverley via Falkirk High every 30 minutes from 7am until 6.30pm

Toy Dolls mate. Think this is their 45th year anniversary. :shock: Was vaguely aware of them back in the eighties but never took much notice. During lockdown etc... was looking for something newish to get into. These guys won. Speed being the key to their playing and it's a challenge playing their stuff on bass as I need to use a pick and I hate playing with picks. Bloody good at it now though. ;)

Wow, that’ll be a punk fest. Enjoy. I’m in Paisley Saturday for Emily Capell which will be a mod fest.
