What services does Balfron run?

I dont think replying to an issue with"I would rather x than no bus" is an effective nor good way to look at an issue. The universal fact here is that its a basic condition that a bus running in this context is better than anything else and that it should not undermine other issues such as the...

They might think its out of service because its so faded, Gus.

In my opinion Queen street would be far more efficient despite the slight extra walking distance from George street.

People could travel to those places anyway. In my opinion it makes sense for a route to be symmetrical in both directions where possible- meaning each direction serves the same places to minimise confusion with passengers.

Why is the 100 only serving some places citybound?

Hopefully this does happen and it is very possible that they could be fitted with newer technology. They wouldnt turn into Kites but would probably have enough range to be a useful vehicle that can put in a day's service on lots of routes.

This is important not only for the law but also bringing them into line in terms of comfort and accessibility as most of the fleet. Hopefully the eclipse 2s start to get fitted with them soon.

Its nice to see them buying the in my opinion much better looking Wrightbus products. These also have 40 seats which is an increase of 6 from the 7900's they are replacing.

37A follows the 37 to Kaimes from Penicuik then the 7.

32 is B7RLE's most days and will probably continue to be.

44 has swapped allocations with the 35 today and for the foreseeable future. Meaning 44 has 500's (2015 B5LH Gemini 3s fleetnumbers 551-570) and 35 has Longstones 600's B5TL E400MMC's. This is to increase capacity on the 35.

Could be that or just general issues, we will find out when they end up for sale. Surprisingly to some people they actually sell quite well.

Although previously the usual order of events, I think the 7900s are withdrawn partially on a case by case situation rather than ordered as there are a few dotted around that havent been out with ones numbered lower still being used. Although 16-20 (exc 18) might be numerical. Although 12-15...

Looks like the end of 7900H's 17/18/19/20/49 time in service (maybe that was a year ago for 49 despite its repaint), just seen a photo of them at Seafield works next to 628 which is waiting for a repaint.
