Default Glasgow Night Bus Cancelled at Weekends
This is bad news for
Night Workers.


[First Bus has announced it is withdrawing
its weekend night-time services
across Glasgow.

First Glasgow said it made the decision
following a review of passenger numbers
over the past year,
which revealed that buses were
regularly operating with as
few as 14 customers per hour.]

It was just a coincidence of course
