By BOB HIND
Feature
A train defect threatens to leave BOB HIND stranded in Scotland’s sixth largest city, but he manages to spend a long day in Orkney on the fourth part* of his tour of the bus routes of Scotland’s offshore islands before starting to explore their Shetland equivalents * Part 3 last month
This is the route that Bob Hind’s train troubles prevented him from making from Inverness to Thurso. Travelling in the opposite direction on route X99 in March 2015, at Berriedale Braes on the A9, was Stagecoach North Scotland 54013 (SV07 ACX), a Plaxton Panther-bodied Volvo B12BT that has since left the group’s fleet.
