I came across a timetable recently for a Central service from Helensburgh to Ingliston that would have gotten you a good way there. Not surprisingly it wasn't all stops!

There was some long services , wasn't there runs to Newcastle ?
Some route that , wonder how reliable it would be.
Given that the 1B and 240 can be really unreliable on their own it would probably be a nightmare pretty quickly. If the 1B from Helensburgh isn't late out of Dumbarton it's a miracle plus the 240s bunch up a lot both ways

I mean it's not too different to some routes in North Scotland. The X7 or 35 for example.
Though more urbanity to go through in the Central Belt

I’d imagine this order will consist of E200MMCs and E400MMCs again, albeit not as many as last years order. I doubt they’ll change it up any.

That is true to some extent, albeit both the X7 and 35 still get strongly affected by traffic, especially given that in the case of the 35 the road infrastructure is next to none as it's mostly just B roads and towns.

I would thought retirement, as when they were transferred to Glasgow from Kernow, their were supposed to have been short term use.
Any changes to routes/timetables we think could happen this year?
The main 2 closest to me I could maybe see are the X4 going every 30 mins off peak Monday to Friday and the 6 going every 12 mins too Monday to Friday. Certainly seen a few services with dwindling numbers everytime I've used them compared to before but not sure where the changes would come from. Would like to see new things tried instead of constant cuts but it's unlikely

Seen one on the 6A just there , the most uncomfortable bus to ride, im not even tall.
I always thought the 6 was already at every 12 mins.
Lucky if you get that on the 6 ha.
Yeah where I can get it that never happens haha especially towards Clydebank. It's not always bad towards Calderwood but probably because it's so early in the route
Glasgow still have a few 51 and 02 Plated buses still.

Don't see them lasting too much longer tbh. Will probably be ousted with the next influx of new buses whenever that happens

had no clue so many b10s left the fleet, any still in barbie?

The B10s were due to come off a month ago but have been kept a while longer as there's nothing to replace them as of yet.
On another note there's word that Aberdeen are to loose 7 Geminis once our first batch of 15 new deckers arrive, so i wouldn't be shocked if they end up with Glasgow.

Caetano Darts are 52 plates (but relatively low mileage)
Seen on on 6a other day .
Seen ones on a 3, 6 and 60 the other week and on an M3 yesterday. Alright buses but extremely claustrophobic

Talking of buses on borrowed time are 33355/56/58/59/61/65/68/69/70/74 still running? I believe 33353/60/62/67/71/75 may be ithdrawn?
As is 61609 which was still in service last week. 61653 has reappeared this week having not been seen during December.
