    Think there’s only about 20 odd B9TLs left which is crazy considering how many Glasgow used to have.

    I wonder if there’s any plans for new buses for Caledonia beyond the current Yutong order for Scotstoun. We’ve seen a lot of repowers...

    Unpopular opinion but Glasgow doesn’t need anymore second hand Geminis in the form of 18 year old buses.

    The 320s and particularly the 318s have received heavy refurbishments in their lifetime so it’s unsurprising they are lasting so long...

    I was quite surprised to see that FIG were getting Yutongs over the new ADL E400EV considering they had the demonstrator and from what...

    They are definitely past their best. It’ll be interesting to see if First opt for Yutong singles ADL or Wright as there will be a lot of...

    Refurbishing the buses could easily be done similar to the repowers. Aberdeen won’t really have a use for them if First buy them...

    Anyone have any updates on the E200EVs that have been out of service for a long time? Some more have recently went out of service in the...

    First surely shouldn’t have an issue procuring low height Yutong or ADL deckers like they did in the past with the B7L East Lanc Nordics...

    I’m inlined to think the same. I don’t imagine buses that old will be repowered and fully refurbished inside. That version of the E400...

    I’d be surprised to see them repower 15 year old buses which will be even older by the time this is rolled out.

    JumpinTrainz replied to the thread First Greater Glasgow.
    With more repowers due I’m wondering if the intention is to start replacing the E300s with deckers instead of singles as the oldest...

    Seen rumours online that the Hydroliners have been bought by First and are to be repowered to electric. Anyone heard anything regarding...
