Going by the post I assumed she was looking to switch to the First 2 at baillieston.Not much use to her if she needs to go to Glasgow which that service does not....
I’m aware of that I was just providing some form of timetable and as I said in my post it was not uniteds timetable. No one seems to have theirs.Thats early morning evenings and sundays only united will still be running the monday to saturday daytime service
The 2 was a good and popular link for Parkhead Forge, i'm surprised First couldn't have run at least an hourly service between Airdrie & Parkhead, i'm sure I remember a number of years back they had a 35 service that ran hourly from Bargeddie scheme to Parkhead 7 days a week. Wonder if there will be renewed calls for a station to be built at Parkhead which has been rumoured for years?
I've been on the 2 from Airdrie/Coatbridge about 10/11 times and I can fully understand it being cut. There is definitely a gap for a train station there but it would be on the wrong line for people who don't stay in Coatbridge and Airdrie who want to go there. Carmyle is still the closest on the other line
Agreed scotrail compliance suppressed what FiG could do.( personally Id blame FG for handcuffing OpCos) if footfall is dwindling why run a service which is deemed more or less dead milage as your picking up no one..the Fort or the Forge welllllOf course this service was one of the route First HAD to operate no matter what, IE it was controlled route linked to Scotrail. I'm surprised its take this long to kill off, Also who wants to go to the forge when you have the Fort?

The forts also difficult to get to by bus from Airdrie/Coatbridge.

I intended to catch the 2 at Baillieston. Thanks for responses. Really helpful.Going by the post I assumed she was looking to switch to the First 2 at baillieston.
Has anyone spotted the bus or find a timetable for it?
Traveline need to take some blame for not putting the timetable up quicker. Not just the company, who if they don't want to have a working phone line or spread the word, who are we to tell them? They do what they want to do like any other company.
I thought it was the traffic commissioners office who supplied the information to traveline as they hold all the registration documents but I am probably mistaken?
I'm also a tad confused. When services 2 & 13 were registered to start in Feb the 2 was timed to depart C'bridge at 12 & 42, arriving back at 45 & 15 with the 13 departing at 45 & 15, arriving back at 12 & 42, req 2 buses. With the changes to the 13 & it now believed to be hourly how does the 2 work? Does it layover at C'bridge for 27 mins using 2 buses or like I saw a couple of weeks back, use 1 bus leaving between 15-17 & 45-47 mpth? I'm sure the driver was also the guy who owned the former Stepend company.
It looks like there is a spare bus which might also interwork with other services. Either way its up to nine. including 2 for the 2.
Just a thought but is McGill’s still the 213 service
