@Hutchyboo @StagecoachEScot Special service operating today. The last X55 was due to depart Edinburgh bus station at 2010.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@zZSkyNinjaZz @StagecoachEScot It's not normal Sunday service. A special timetable is operating, the screenshot you have does not relate to East Scotland services.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@SkyFife @GirlchampJinty @StagecoachEScot @scotgov @NicolaSturgeon Nobody should need a reminder at this stage. If people aren't wearing a face cover then they are exempt.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@megs1970 How do you know they are clearly not all exempt? You are making assumptions.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@holymarine @StagecoachEScot Returns were withdrawn around March I believe.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@deadlynight @MochaQuokka @StagecoachYrks @StagecoachEScot The drivers don't need to ask, the signage is all that is required. Drivers can remind passengers but cannot refuse travel. Anyone can simply say they're exempt.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@mad_marshal @StagecoachEScot Hardly their fault. Whole households being told to isolate, they can't magic drivers out of thin air.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@MochaQuokka @deadlynight @StagecoachYrks @StagecoachEScot There is signage on each bus to remind passengers but anyone can say they're exempt and no proof is required. This is in line with government guidelines.

@francfc88 @StagecoachEScot Driver shortages

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@Tschilp_tschalp @SkyFife @StagecoachEScot @hazeladdaction It's quite simple. The rules on smoking apply to everyone equally. The rules on face covers do not apply to everyone as some are exempt. Anyone can say they're exempt, no proof is required as per government guidelines.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@davidandrews_12 @StagecoachEScot 7am - 10pm except Sundays when it closes at 830pm.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@soph2004xx @StagecoachEScot It ran 20 minutes late.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@lesleys20 @StagecoachEScot The driver cannot open the door after he has signalled his intention to depart. The departures in Edinburgh Bus Station are traffic light controlled and drivers must adhere to this. If you want to board a specific service you must be ready to board before the departure time.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@TaoMacLeod @StagecoachEScot Yeah, I just used the Sunday as one example. There was a coach on that service from St.Andrews and it was swapped at Leven for the decker. I'd guess there must've been a fault with the coach.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@TaoMacLeod @StagecoachEScot I know it's inconvenient but they don't have to use a coach. Deckers have been common on X60 X61 on Sundays to increase capacity.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@maeveflesh @StagecoachEScot Yes. A group ticket covers 5 people.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@AndrewRScoles @StagecoachEScot You can buy an East Scotland Dayrider on the app.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@ross_see_ I agree. It certainly can't be a vehicle shortage on a Sunday.

[Jamie Young @JamieYo1981]

@Theecamilleri31 @ross_see_ I saw a SC bus on a tow truck today. Must be a driver shortage 😂
