Just on the bus from Kirkcudbright to Dumfries — about 25 miles — and it's a new, Chinese made, electric bus, about 25 seats, with a good rack inside for three upright bicycles. Obviously it's sad that it isn't made in Scotland — this is something we certainly ought to be doing — but nevertheless electric public transport on medium distance routes has to be a very positive thing. A little quieter and more comfortable than fossil fuel buses, but not much.
