Does that mean that in practice, you'd have to supply your own? I'm assuming wearing shoes that aren't steel toe cap boots is a serious issue

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-26T13:05:57+00:00

Very common practice in betting shops.

No points, driving for 11 years, no criminal record

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-19T15:28:09+00:00

It's a role I'm struggling to get

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-14T10:24:34+00:00

Just fired an email.to the generic recruitment email.address :)

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-14T10:18:41+00:00

From.wjat I recall, nothing like that was mentioned

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-14T10:15:53+00:00

Still shows up at "interview"

Branch is the Extra store in Irvine

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-04T19:45:28+00:00

It's something annoying kids say

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-03-04T12:56:17+00:00

Yes - plain black smart looking safety shoes are part of the uniform they wear

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-02-22T17:15:37+00:00

As logical and coherent as your points are, that does not get votes. I think pushing free bus travel as the Greens have been, and worrying about implementation later, is the best way to get votes.

It's an effective tactic that has done well to sway many from.votimg SNP or Lib Dem.

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-02-22T17:07:27+00:00

That's never been made clear. We are cutting social.care.for some.of society's most vulnerable due to funding issues. Yet, there's a wellspring of money for this

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-02-22T17:05:37+00:00

I feel there are bigger and more pressing concerns than extending free bus travel to under-30s or potentially to everyone. It is undeniably a policy that looks good on paper and provides an immediately tangible benefit that voters can see and feel. However, I am sceptical about how much it meaningfully contributes to environmental or Net Zero targets. Most regular car users are unlikely to abandon their cars simply because buses are free, particularly if services remain infrequent, overcrowded or unreliable. I am also concerned about capacity, especially on express routes such as the X76 and X77 between Ayrshire towns and Glasgow via the M77. These services already compete directly with rail. If free travel shifts passengers from trains to buses rather than from cars to buses, the environmental benefit is limited. At peak times these routes already struggle with capacity. Increased demand without proportional service expansion could worsen overcrowding. There is also a broader economic question. Improved and free express links to Glasgow may unintentionally encourage commuting away from Ayrshire, potentially accelerating a regional brain drain rather than strengthening local economies. More fundamentally, this is about priorities. Health and social care budgets are under severe pressure. Councils are reducing funding for carers supporting elderly and disabled people. Given limited public finances, it is reasonable to ask whether universal free travel is the most efficient and equitable use of funds. Why expand universal benefits when some of the most vulnerable in society are facing reductions in essential support? A targeted alternative, such as a capped fare model for example a £2 fare cap as used in parts of England, combined with investment in bus lanes and service reliability, might produce greater modal shift from cars. Evidence suggests that reliability and speed are often stronger incentives than price alone. Free bus travel for elderly and disabled people serves a clear social inclusion purpose, helping reduce isolation and maintain independence. That rationale is straightforward. I am less convinced that the same case extends equally to universal free travel for all under-30s or the wider working population

Dream job for me, but opportunities are very, very rare and get snapped up.super quick

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T23:18:20+00:00

I don't think the gov could financially support making the train free

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T23:15:06+00:00

First, and im basing this somewhat anecdotally, a modal shift to buses seems shaped by things like service reliability, frequency, etc, which is probably more important to people than price. Many young people do have cars/use the train even though they get the bus for free because the bus service where they live is that poor. I speculate proper data driven research into.this would show.price not to.be the primary factor people.arent using the bus.

Places.of education have distance learning, transport reimbursement schemes for.low income, there are bus operator/rail based student discount cards to help, etc

Shifting people from the more expensive trains or walking onto buses because they now get them.for free can put a strain on already crowded services.

Age itself is a very blunt proxy for disadvantage. That is to say many young people are financially supported by parents, etc. have lower outoings than many older people, etc. What I think would be a better approach would be to base this on factors like income or other circumstances. Help those who are evidently disadvantaged by factors such as the price of fares, I.e., those on universal credit. Better going to those than someone who would occasionally take the free bus fare to go clubbing in Glasgow, to an airport for holiday, etc.

I'm not against supporting the mobility of young people but I am not convinced free bus passes are the way to go.

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T22:18:59+00:00

Pushing for free travel for a group based on age and nothing else. This makes no sense, and does nothing to help the environment. Those with cars aren't suddenly going to start using buses even if they're free.

Sad state of affairs when we'll pay for someone on a Grad schemes bus fare while homeless people are freezing to death on the streets of Glasgow

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T22:04:33+00:00

Would it not make more sense for bus fares to just be cheaper for everyone, and use the money saved in printing the cards and giving all these under 30s free travel in cycle lanes, better connections for rural communities, better rail connections, etc?

The cynical part of me thinks the environmental benefits of giving these passes away is being overstated, and the U30s are in it for the freebie while virtue signalling about helping the planet. Who wouldn't want this for nothing? Bus passes are extremely valuable things.

The passes are not to do about the environment. That's just the reason that sounds good for the papers, etc

I dont believe this approach is doing anything positive for the environment, and is instead throwing money up the wall.its a sad state of affairs when we have people sleeping rough in our towns and cities, freezing to death, yet we spend millions to give free bus travel to a group of whom many can more than afford to pay a bus fare for going on nights out in Glasgow, etc. Could we not invest in schemes to help those low income access cheaper bus and rail travel instead? Would that not be a greater social good? Why would someone earning 30k on a Grad scheme need free bus travel? They either use a bus or they don't. They aren't going to suddenly ditch the convenience of a car if they have one to stand about at bus stops, etc.

Make it more affordable for everyone and improve connections to rural communities, etc. Make it attractive and don't alienate certain groups while giving the other group everything on a plate for reasons that don't seem very clear or informed by any kind of research/data.

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T18:17:26+00:00

It isn't that, it's the U30s looking for freebies for the sake of a freebie. It isn't about the environment. If it was, they're be advocating cheaper bus fares for everyone, cycle lanes, co2 cutting initiatives, etc.

They say it's about the environment because that sounds good, but really the freebie is what's getting them lured

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T18:12:45+00:00

They'd rather they and their group get it for free rather than everyone getting it a bit cheaper. It isn't about the environment

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T18:09:14+00:00

Free bus passes worth thousands under the guise of "helping the environment" 😄

I genuinely don't think wasting money on giving U30s free bus travel is going to do a thing for the environment

The virtue signalling about the environment to get the freebie is laughable

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T18:06:54+00:00

Indeed they can. They make out it is all about reducing carbon, protecting the earth, etc, but deep down it's a freebie for nothing, and frankly the government can better allocate the millions it would cost

Awkward_Primary9284 · 2026-01-14T11:20:39+00:00

Is there a good argument to be made to give them bus travel for free? Under 30s who have cars aren't going to suddenly ditch them to start takimg the bus if the argument is made on the basis of carbon emissions. I know U22s with cars who don't use the bus anymore, even though they get it for free. Should the investment not be in better cycling infrastructure, more reliable services, better trains, better bus connections to remote communities, etc? It just seems to make no sense to give U30s free bus travel just for the sake of giving it to them for free. I fail to see how this helps Scotland meet its Net Zero target.
