How are loading from Bamber bridge on the 23? According to recent local media reports, Preston bus, at the last accounts, made a loss of £200,000. Whether that includes the LCC contracts that don't go near Preston, is unknown. A few posts back, I did say that extending the 23, to get more...

But perhaps extending the 23, to compete with stagecoach, was to try and bring in extra income, to stem the losses, and turn preston bus into a profit making firm. Of course, they should have known that Stagecoach would probably retaliate, putting them back to square one. One other possible...

Stagecoach east Scotland dunfermline depot, on St Leonards street, opened in 1909 as a tram depot, buses moving in later.

Washington, Tyne and wear, has two bus stations. The town centre one, at the galleries shopping centre, and Concord, in the north of the town.

Didn't First do it in Bristol, when they bought Wessex coaches. They had a wessex service competing with a city line service.

They were registered by Fife Scottish as dual purpose. Indeed on a fleet card of the time, the only "coaches " were two toilet fitted touring coaches at Aberhill.

Up here in Fife, one bus stop is called "kingdom services", despite the services closing over ten years ago, and is now a council depot.

I expect the answer to this to be no, but in terms of either TfGM, or the operators, would either of them have any insurance, to cover lost revenue, during strikes?

Until it gave up lochgelly high school contracts in 1994, Moffat and williamson operated one route from cardenden from glenrothes on Monday to Thursday, and St fort depot on a Friday. In the 90s, on the old route 34 from kirkcaldy to cowdenbeath via cardenden, run by fife Scottish, one diagram...

Citylink route 900 serves Harthill services, to allow residents of the village to use it to get to and from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Stagecoach east Scotland route 201 serves Kinross moto services.

Don't know if they still do, but Moffat and williamson used to outstation buses from their St Fort depot, in the Stagecoach east Scotland depot at Forfar.

Upgraded to a fully staffed depot. Has its own staff, own allocation of vehicles, which don't get changed every day, and has supervision. There are limited maintenance facilities, but large work gets done elsewhere. Bit like stagecoach east Scotland St. Andrews depot.

Yes it is. In First days, it was an outstation of Musselburgh, but about 2010, it was upgraded to a full depot, following service and diagram changes. The total fleet is twelve vehicles.

One question I would ask, could Hampshire police have recovered the vehicle, to one of their sites, for a full examination, before returning it to blue star?

I know! At ferrytoll we changed from a jet 747 branded E200Mmc to 80212.
