Just a random internet user who knows too much about buses. No, I don't work for Stagecoach.

@gduncan1607 Yeah, they're running buses from Craibstone P&R. Look for the PJ4 service.

Details are in the Tweet below.

@_Sam_George_ Unlikely you'll get a response from them today since it's a bank holiday, but I can tell you Newmacher is in the 'Aberdeen Commuter' zone (see the map in the link).

Where are you traveling to? I might be able to help further

@willgray3108692 Buses are running to a Sunday timetable on Monday 19th September 2022. So this also means only services which run on a Sunday will be in operation.

See the link below.

@stokebarry10 Just checked the tracker and it did run, but 21 mins late.

See for yourself.

@StagecoachBBird That link displays an error just so you know.

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

Also, I can assure you it didn't go unnoticed by a controller.
These things are flagged up on their systems.

I've known a few people lose their jobs because they ran 2 or 3mins early or spent at a timing point (IE: leaving late).

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@WillG79 You don't "have" to be there, it's just for good measure.

Though the times and the GPS tracker on the app are correct, there is nothing to stop human error, such as this.

I get what you mean, but if you're going somewhere important, always best to be there early.

@transcotland I would hardly call having teens littering, vandalizing property, and being a nuisance good for the environment.

I've yet to see the positive side of these bus passes for under 22s. It's made bus travel a misery.

The working class need something like this, not kids.

@monjo7474 A few things...

1. Their prices only go up once a year and that is in April.

2. The £2 cap is England only. Stagecoach Bluebird are in Scotland.

3. You're a troll bot.

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@lmcvicar The bus did run and it left on time. She clearly wasn't paying attention.

Tracker does not lie. See for yourself.

@D_R_MCV It left on time. You missed it.

Source: I checked the tracker.

@KellyRo31361676 They're not serving Union Street due to the road closures.

#BBirdServiceUpdate Please be aware that due to road closures around Aberdeen City Centre our services are currently diverting as below until 14:00 hours on Sunday the 4th of September

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@LauraLa24974522 Good thing there's a bit where you can wait inside which never closes.

Until you set foot on their property (the bus, they don't own the station), you are not their responsibility.

If you get cold waiting, it's your fault for not wearing correct clothing for the weather.

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@LauraLa24974522 The in-door seating at the station never closes. You can easily wait there and stare at your phone for an hour.

How do I know it never shuts? I travel late in/out Abdn.

No, I don't work for Stagecoach. I just know how things work.

Learn to arrive on time instead of late min.

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@karthom10 Buses and other vehicles which are on the badly maintained roads nearly 24/7, tend to pick up faults.

Who knew?

If your car was on the road 24/7, it would pick up faults just as quickly.

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@LauraLa24974522 @StagecoachBBird 3. Aberdeen Union square is safe, plenty of CCTV cameras. You were in no way at risk just because you had to wait for another bus.

4. Plan your journey better. Learn to arrive at least 10mins before it's due to leave.

5. Driver did nothing wrong.

#DramaQueen.

[A Bus user @ABususer1]

@LauraLa24974522 @StagecoachBBird A few things...

1. Once it's departure time and the doors have shut and driver has signalled to reverse, he/she is not allowed to reopen the doors for safety reasons.

2. There's another X7 in an hour's time and other one after that, so you were not "abandoned".
