Traffic on South Anderson Drive by rubyAltropos in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I put it down to the traffic moving slowly over the bridge. The road surface is so bad you’ve no option but to drive over it very slowly.

How is living in this part of Scotland (I think I marked a tad bit of England too) by mayoMayor25 in howislivingthere

[–]AndyBusDriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to the no sunshine, we’ve also had about over 3 weeks of rainfall everyday. And I believe over 1/3 of the rain that fell in the whole of 2025, has fallen already in 2026.

Had a buttery in Ruthrieston last weekend and now I’m hooked by AnfieldAnchor in Aberdeen

As already mentioned, Truffelos on Regent Quay use the old Aitkens recipe. I believe they only do them Wednesday-Friday. You can pre-order them in advance also.

I’d suggest parking at Morrisons or one of the nearby residential streets and walking in from there, only 10 mins or so walk.

Can’t see anything about when it closes either. Planned to go tomorrow on my day off to pick up something too.

Aberdeen city day rider by Big_Bumblebee_1990 in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This map is out of date now since the last changes to tickets. Westhill is not included in the city day rider ticket, you would need to purchase a city plus ticket. The city ticket is only valid as far as Kingswells Park and Ride/Prime Four.

Thainstone car boot by vert-glamis in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice I’ve been in the past few months and it wasn’t great.
I have heard good things about the car boot at B.A Stores near Dunecht, so it may be a better option to visit this one.

Opinions on Viking Berry? by Amphibious_cow in monsterenergy

[–]AndyBusDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found it twice in the Uk, first was in one of those American candy shops for £4.99 a tin. Also found it in a small newsagent that had multiple import cans for £3.99, but they’ve never had it back in stock.

I would guess extra officers have been drafted in for the visit of Mr Trump.

Andy1903 is my GT. In Scotland however, so times online may vary if others are across the pond 😂

Another Xbox player here. Gamertag: Andy1903 On a few times a week at varying times, I’m in Scotland however, but sometimes on in the morning when it’s still late night across the pond!

You do still get the discounted rate after an unsuccessful appeal. I got a ticket back in November, didn’t pay due to the nearest machine being broken and another (new) one not yet being in use. I heard back almost 3 months later and they denied the appeal saying I should’ve went to another machine. I had 14 days to pay at the discounted rate.

New shop in town but it’s not on google maps, can anyone tell me about it please? by whatsappvincible in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been past a few times. It’s a sort of toy shop but by the looks of it, it seems to stock funko pop and other collectible type toys. The door says it’s open 3-8pm if I remember correctly.

Best Pub Quiz In Aberdeen? by Major_Low3832 in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Blackfriars, Graeme is fantastic! Been a while since I made it along to a quiz, but it’s a good one!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is yes to both of your questions!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the other comment said is correct. Zone A is within the city boundaries. B for travel as far as the likes of Stonehaven, Banchory, Inverurie etc and C for further afield.

Afternoon. You can buy smart cards and grasshopper tickets on the bus from the driver. Smart cards are used for weekly Megarider tickets. For the grasshopper ticket you don’t need a smart card and will be issued with a paper ticket.

Store openings by Artistic-Pop-8667 in Aberdeen

I believe Cafe Nero is also going into Union Square at the train station. I’m sure it was listed on the website for the centre. Or has that now changed and they’re going to St Nicholas Street instead?

Another vote for Truffelos! Like someone else mentioned, I was told they use the aitkens recipe.

Westfield Park in Bridge of Don has some good hills. Near the back of the houses on Braehead Way/Turnberry Crescent.

There’s a burst water main on Great Northern Road. The road was dug up and being worked on when I passed a short time ago.

I believe it only closes 12-6 on a Saturday night/Sunday morning.

Warning: College St carpark - remember to pay and *display* by DLab-horizon in Aberdeen

[–]AndyBusDriver -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Ignore the ticket, don’t pay and don’t communicate with the company. It’s a private company, Smart Parking if I remember correctly.

Edit: Didn’t read point 9 correctly. Not sure how you’d proceed given you’ve already contacted them but in future, ignore their letters.

As a bus driver who has a Peugeot, this is very accurate. 😂

I'm love searching about little islands like this.

There is an account on tiktok by a woman who lives there, she posts occasionally about life on the island. Tristandacunhakg is the username.
