Emergency ⚠️ train stop. Passenger had a stroke just after Stirling. Train stopped at Falkirk. NHS paramedics arrived in 10 mins & was taken to 🚑. What a shame - happened further up coach I was in. We do see people of all ages return to cycling (triking) after such events. @edinreporter.bsky.social

Left a waterlogged Strathardle on 8am 71 school bus. Bus 2 got over the Isla. Just made the LNER 10am train. Stop at Gleneagles. In Haymarket by 11.18am. Almost integrated transit. 😆 If it rains again then can see diversions looming! 🌊

🛑 Reminding people that Spittal of Glenshee is not the ski centre! That's at Cairnwell pass... over 300m higher up! The A93 runs through it and the snowgates closed till it gets dug out a bit.🛑

January continues in Strathardle with more flooding & snow on hills. Wet snow still at 300m mark. Gates closed on A93 but caught image with Ember E11 bus at Spittal going back to Dundee. Driver said yesterday they are keen to offer reliability so car owners don't 'have to' use cars in this weather

But will Scotland get value for money from this? Our surplus of natural resources should benefit those that live here. Graphs from Carbon Intensity site this evening.

Heading north to Blairgowrie on Ember E11 e-bus (Aberdeen via Braemar route). Driver said Glenshee very snowy earlier. Lower down it's still raining. Been days and days now. 🌧🌧🌧 A923 now open but River Isla spilling out everywhere.

Diversion signage at Gilmore Place needs improving. 3 cars in a. row appeared to follow cycle diversion here down Leamington Rd then just exited GP as usual towards Tollcross. They had ignored previous signage about closed road and diversion at previous junction (Viewforth).

Used very small amount of Scotland's 🏴 expensive surplus renewable electricity to deliver a big box to Pack & Send. One fifth of 500Wh Bosch pack as was in hurry! Av speed faster than inner city norm. Plus I can park at door using new bike lanes... then again so can a Brakes food delivery truck. 😆

Got to shop late but safely. Some details to finish on this new Nihola Bafang trike for customer in Newcastle. Built in 🇩🇰 and shipped direct despite Brexit. He was inspired by a yellow demo one we sold last year. Similar but not identical.

Day 2 of local flooding. School closed. Local 71 bus couldn't make it past Ballintuim. Ember e-bus did get over into Glenshee but then hit the real barrier which is the River Isla cutting off Blairgowrie and Alyth from South. Now heading east to Dundee via Kirriemuir @transform.scot @srd.bsky.social

A924 this morning. Further north the morning 71 school bus got stuck at Bridge of Cally. Rescued by parents / school closed. Basically snow and ice in the southern Cairngorms is draining down to the sea! Shee water & Alt Fearnach/Ardle go into the Ericht in Blairgowrie ➡️ into the Isla and Tay.

Torrents of rain flooding roads round Strathardle = buses + community car cancelled. This morning Ember e-bus went by Glenshee but turned around before Bridge of Cally. School bus got stuck there. Upshot is a missed Celtic Connections concert but with some people's homes flooded that's minor.
