sheep Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I have just been informed that the shell garage at the bowtree's roundabout (kincardine bridge) will be shutting for good on the first of March. No more optimax for me unless i fancy a round trip to Stirling every time i need to fill up.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Is there not one afew miles past the KH turnoff???
sheep Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 There is andy but i work in grangemouth so its a bit out of the way, handy when i am going up to knockhill though
st3ph3n Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Sheep, I can't help feel partly responsible for this as they must be missing my twice weekly custom since I changed jobs. A sad day indeed. I went in one Sunday coming home from Knockhill and the girl behind the counter said to me "I didn't recognise you without the work clothes Stephen". Great service, although I thought she was maybe stalking me.
weeb Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 there is a shell garage in camelon next to alexanders!! shuts at 10pm tho!!
andy Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 That's poopy. On my route to work too. Inevitable though given that both it and the BP one just before the bridge are bang in the way of the new bridge approach road.
Gumball Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 THIS IS MORE THAN NOT TOO GOOD !!! This is the garage that we all stop at on route to KH, Crail and beyond !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If your going to KH you will now have to passby and carry on up to the Shell Garage just passed the KH turnofff ( 5miles maybe) If that garage closes????????????????? we are in trouble
IanJ Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Just stop at Old inns on the A80 at Cumbernauld or take a detour through Camelon (Next to Grieve Subaru)
st3ph3n Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I just noticed today as well that the one on the road from Bathgate to Uphall is now a JET. CURSES! I was going to make that my new station of choice as well.
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Yeah and the one in Bearsden has now turned into a BP too ( Hillfoot Garage ) Nae happy - just as well I have two of them within 3 miles of my house
col666 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Shell need to update that site, they show 5 optimax garages in Dundee. One was demolished recently and another doesnt sell it!
sma01 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 thats not so good, ideal filling up point on the way to KH
john_robertson Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 << I just noticed today as well that the one on the road from Bathgate to Uphall is now a JET. CURSES! I was going to make that my new station of choice as well. >> IIRC thats been a JET for a while now, there are two Shell in Whitburn, one up the far end of the main street as if you were heading to Harthill and the other is on the road to Armadale just under the M8.
