#24 | The One with a Supercharging Eyesore, Rallying at 77 and Cyclist Licences Feedback…

Episode 24

Friday, October 16, 2026 • Duration 56:58

Welcome to Episode 24 of Scotland The Drive - the motoring podcast that keeps Scotland moving with Ally Bally and Alan Douglas.

In this episode:

➡️ We look at plans for a new EV supercharging hub at the former Subway site at Balhaldie, one of the more familiar roadside sights on the A9.

➡️ We head to Forth Valley College and discover some of the challenges of driving around what feels like a building site, while trying to keep the shoes clean.

➡️ We discuss the Prime Minister’s latest statement and return to the debate around licences for cyclists.

➡️ My First Drive features David Gillanders, who at 77 is still choosing rally stages over slippers and taking on world-class motorsport.

➡️ We take the Honda Prelude for a drive around Sutherland, only to be overtaken by something rather special, a Gordon Murray T.50.

Plus, more motoring news, views and the usual issues from Scotland’s roads.
