YX09AFO/N 44905/6 Remember these were on the 29/129 to Mansewood (when First had it) and other routes of a similar status These are shorter than the "newer" YX09xxx 44455 was on the 34 today, freshly painted, another one of this type was on the 34 as well I feel these are a bit of a come...

First bus must waste an absolute fortune repainting buses for not much time left on the road!........always thought they would only go to the effort of a full paint job if a vehicle had a decent bit of shelf life left in it (unless something major / unlucky was to happen to it) The engineers...

Was on the 31 today (tracking on bus times as withdrawn 37530) Very fancy for a bus on normal service with tables and wireless chargers

Anytime I take the 6, usually from Battlefield/ cathcart to either city centre or up to east Kilbride, it's its usually quite busy A problem with the 6 though is that quite often two buses come nearly together after 20/30 minute gap with the single decker bus packed and another bus a few minutes...

In the "buy tickets" menu on the app go to "select area" "Greater Glasgow" and there are options for Airport express, local, city and network

The concept that made city sprinter (and similar independent 'minibus' operators across other major routes) popular was that: It was a good bit cheaper, £1.50 to the city centre from Eastwood toll versus £2 with First on their 38 It was a good bit faster than First bus......they seemed to fly...

At least 3 EV's and the old President 32305 out on the 5 to Castlemilk. Is 38442 LG22AVT one of the newest ones?

Noticed a few of the B7RLEs have been withdrawn / disappeared from that bustimes.org vehicle list

Interesting that they're going on the 201 The 201 fairly recently received branding (very similar colour to the one) Seen a good few enviro200 ev on the 34a today, at least 4 A lot more on the 7 and 7A including the dark green 7 branded example I wonder if any of the e200 ev will get branded...

The whole lot? As in the pink fronted ones, the 34A branded ones and the remaining 65 reg ones? Any idea what vehicles the 34A is getting?

The x8 service (M77 motorway service to Silverburn/ Pollok ) has been operated by electric buses on a Sunday recently.

See with the LEZ, have all the B9TL 37*** buses have been upgraded to E6 / LEZ standard? There must be some routes out there that will get them and I wouldn't be surprised if they get a good 20 years out of the best examples of them, considering they're getting nearly 19 years out of the LK03***...

The route branding seems to be not too bad, very rear for anything other than a yellow bus to be on the 75 But see when a branded bus appears on another route(quite common with Saturday timetables or on a sunday) it is usually an pleasant upgrade to what that route usually had like ie a mint...

With the LEZ regulations coming in, I thought these would have stayed in Glasgow Take them off the 75 and put them onto other major routes that go through the city centre and bring the % of LEZ compliant vehicles up They would have been a welcome upgrade to the 4, 5, 60, 57 plus other routes

67020 and the other pink/purple front 68 plate buses have been on the 9 since this week along with the electrics The electric buses have been on the 65 since this week along with the usual pink/ purple 65 branded buses The 65 branded buses have also been on the 31 every day this week
