A notice that doesn’t seem quite right to me and a few others. Why would you end a route on a Wednesday? As already explained, this was the same date that McGill’s pulled out of West Lothian.
Bit random if it is fake .
It appeared to come out late in the evening, that has been the mode of previous fake posts for other companies
Maybe, but there’s a growing trend of random fake posts appearing across these enthusiast groups. Presumably to fool those who may want such an announcement.
I saw a reply to an image of a Bright Bus mentioning the route ending which was unedited and posted 7 hours before the notices began to be shared online. I'm really not sure whether to believe it or not, but as I said yesterday ill wait until there is definite proof from a better source.
The license still gets used
How could someone get in trouble if it’s been done at home with AI? Entirely possible.
It's still up as a sign on Livingston depot though and as a trading name on their licence. Let's see if any public facing announcement gets made or if someone at McGill's confirms it in the Facebook group.
The notice to staff doesn’t make any mention of other operators, but highlights the difficulties that the airport owners have put in their way, as they clearly didn’t welcome the service.
There are 6 Yutongs waiting on the full energising of the chargers before they enter service. I think that’s expected sometime next week.
Not sure exactly what you’re referring to, but the branded diesel buses on the motorway routes in the west stay on their routes on Sundays.
I don’t think Dundee is really a fair comparison, as the majority of the routes are in similar operating conditions. Theoretically any of the Dundee city fleet could quite easily do any run. The same can’t be said for McGill’s other operations. Yes, the limits are low in the other divisions, but essentially Dundee has next to none.
Trust me it hasn't the service has been losing money for a long time u can also tell with how many changes they made to it started every 10 mins then 15 then 20 also changed it to stop after 9 at night got my daughter staying in Edinburgh so was over there a lot seen buses leaving empty while the 100 left full and that wasn't a one off it happened nearly all the time
What far fetched nonsense of an idea
If it’s okay with you, I won’t trust you, as I actually see the real numbers every day.
The Fife Scottish operator’s license regularly sees fleet investment and is probably a very profitable business for Stagecoach so the chances of them selling to McGill’s or anyone else for that matter I would say is highly unlikely.
It’s a positioning service for the AirX so I would 100% expect it to be withdrawn as well.
It would indeed be a subject for a separate thread, but it would depend on whether or not Stagecoach wanted to sell the Fife and Strathtay operations; I don't think it'd be likely, but you never know.
It'd be more constructive if you would explain why you think someone's idea is nonsense rather than dismissing it out of hand. There's absolutely no need to be rude.
I think I may have answered that one but it would be interesting to know @ScotRail158725 thoughts on it.
