YES to more :)

What amazing toilets 🚻, love it 😀 👏👏

😂sorry but always pronounced it as Rubber Duck when up there some years ago !

You're making me "home" sick Tim!

Those toilets are legendary!

Nice video! We were on Bute at the start of April & took this ferry crossing too. There's a great walk starting just beyond the ferry terminus too, with an amazing viewpoint and a swing at the top!😍

I was surfing KZfaq as T.V. is totally dire these days and saw the title of your video and knew exactly where you were. Pre Covid and pre the original Shearing’s Bay Hotel collapse in 2020, we were due to revisit Portpatrick on the 20th of March that year, we had at least one and usually two mid-week breaks in Scotland. In 2015 we had a mid-week break in Rothesay taking the car from Wemyss Bay, lovely as Bute is it can be explored in a day so we used the short ferry three times to explore the off island areas around Scotland. I’ve subscribed to your channel in the hope of more places in Scotland we have visited, one of the more spine tingling was the Arctic Convoy Memorial at Loch Ewe where my dad’s destroyer H.M.S. Icarus assembled for many trips to Russia in the last great unpleasantness.

What a smashing video! You just can't beat the scenery in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The boat tour nearly took longer than the whole journey, I wonder how many people don't go onto the top open decks, or don't realise! Can't wait for the next one Tim!

Booze cruise has the same etymology as well apparently

Excellent ❤

What! No onboard catering! 😮

Rhubodach .... called Rubber Duck by the locals!!

Miss my visits to Bute. Cross on either ferry! Salvation Army Major Nessie was my cousin and we visited often.

I'm sure Cal Mac operate the ferry from Mull to Iona which is a pretty short crossing.

You do know why no female toilets - since year 0 women’s toilet needs have been overlooked and not catered for adequately. In Victorian times and even more recently it was known as the “urinary leash” - no or inadequate toilets mean women wont get above themselves and travel far from home. Even now, despite women needing 2-3 times longer to use facilities than men they are routinely granted the same or often fewer facilities than men. And in an aim to be inclusive some establishments are even making the women’s facilities that do exist “all genders” while men retain their own men only private dignified facilities.

Have you visited Elen 🔥, Miss X in Valmiera?

Liked the way the safety briefing lasted pretty much the whole crossing! Star of the show for me was the toilets. Glorious! As you say, a good shout for the best you'll find anywhere. Reminiscent of the toilets at Wemyss Bay station... which probably are serving a similar purpose 😉 Best wishes to you and Mrs TT

Another great video Tim. Would love to see more of the shorter ferries in Scotland! Good to see you brought Mrs Tims Travels along!

Lovely

Nice insight! I noticed how the safety announcement took almost as long as the crossing itself 😂 If it's the shirt Calmac crossing, it begs the question, what's the shortest crossing overall? 🤔

Brilliant Video

As we say back home “it was a soft day”. Thanks for sharing 😊

Nice video! Subscribed, I like your approach! Cheers from the middle of the US!

Finally found a blog about the passenger ferry from John O'Groats to Burwick in 2010. Unfortunately the ferry coming into JO'G was late and I ended spending a little more than I intended in the gift shop also we were unab!e to get out at the Ring of Brodgar as we would miss the ferry back.

Up here in Orkney the X10 is the bus which meets the ferry from Aberdeen or Lerwick at Hatston late at night and goes into Kirkwall then through to Stromness. I don't think that would make much of a video though, maybe in mid summer but from August - May... Maybe not🌙

Really enjoyed this little jaunt. We’d love to see more bus journeys in Scotland or NI/Ireland. Ahh, the scenery. Beautiful rain or shine. :)

Bring on the bus videos, especially around Inverness, there are some stunning routes there! Definitely had to breath in when you met the other bus 🚌.

Great trip if you have time it's a stunning route from Stirling to Glasgow via the villages of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs. As someone who lived just outside and worked in Stirling for 10 years it's funny to hear you talk of The Kings Knot- we always referred to it as the cup and saucer! There's one inaccuracy in your video- at 3:29 you state you cross the M90 motorway- it is in fact the M9 (the M90 is the Perth to South Queensferry motorway). Would love to see more bus trip reports on your channel 🚌

Roughly 243 miles for £27.60? That's excellent value for money! I know that Glasgow-London on the usual Avanti route is around 401 miles and Crewe to London via the Trent Valley is exactly 158 miles .That's around 11p per mile on one of the UK's main routes which is excellent value for money (it probably helps that you left London off the itinerary all together .)

I think the concept of ouigo is great for those who can make it work . Unfortunately the lack of catering and the risk of having to buy new tickets if you've got onward trains and ouigo causes a missed connection is what would result in me preferring the full-service option but for those who are only on for 2 hours with no onward connections and want to save money , it's potentially perfect.

6:40 I think that's meant to be a soap dispenser. I also noticed that there's pink toilet paper.

Nice find of a bus route, a really interesting one. Well done finding this one. We really have some real gems of hidden bus routes all around the country, just waiting to be explored. Buses are great as they take you to little villages you would never have seen. A part of the world I know nothing about

Lovely scenery through this journey

Good job mate. Agree with you on the travel thing. The amount of new stuff I’ve learnt from travelling, I’m sure you’re the same. And yes, more bus videos or anything really. Always enjoy your vids 😊

Nice one mate. Definitely enjoy the scenic route, both bus and train! The Buchanan obelisk, is that the same Buchanan that the Glasgow street and bus station are named after? As an aside, it's been a while since I was in Stirling, my sister's graduation from the uni there in 2004!

I would love to see more bus journeys. Some beautiful scenery up there!

I definitely would love to see more bus videos. Especially in the north. I really enjoyed your durness bus video. A service so local to me but one I've never done. Great video as always

always great fun to watch

More please!

😱 "Promosm"

Brilliant video. The only thing i would say, you gave detailed history and commentary on the route, but from Carlisle onwards, there was nothing. Not a criticism, more of a observation!

Never been to portugal. Now I havve! Tnx Tim!

Thank you for your sharing. I’m going to take flico this summer and can’t find any reviews in mandarin, hope everything is ok when I take it

Loved the light on this one Tim, another lovely Portuguese adventure. Hope you’re feeling better mate. All the best, Mark 👍

Loved it 👍🏻

“How’s your view?” “A wall” 😂 Great video - thanks!

Nice video again from a beautiful part of the world!

'patronising history lesson' 🤣
