Minimum spend at the TVMs is gone, from personal experience. The return ticket also offers a slight saving over two singles, which you can't get on the bus! I forget the exact figures.

Thanks, I remember you saying there were screens for the B5s and B9s but wondered about the 8s. Sounds like they are taking the right steps to address, which is no less than you'd expect of course.

Out if interest, did they have full screens sitting ready for the B8RLEs from Wright's or did they need to fashion something?

I guess it makes sense, cluster the B7TLs with a good few years in them in places not threatening / deemed likely to look at bringing in emissions zones soon enough to be a problem, allowing new deliveries to be sent to areas that do have restrictions to work within (Glasgow, Leeds etc)

Hope all passengers and driver okay, looks like they are thankfully! Go North West 37289 Volvo B9TL/Wright Gemini MX07 BTE by the look of it. Can't see her surviving that - which seems to be said with every bridge strike - but I'm combining the elements of damage, age of vehicle, coronavirus...

On retrospect, seeing the magic bus variant feels like that's shown the way they *should* have gone - have a consistent rear and sides application and use their different colours on the front where needed. I wouldn't bother distinguishing between bus and coach services though as I don't think...

I'd agree but ironically it's a mockery of what Stagey said the point in switching to three liveries was for, by introducing a fourth! The whole exercise is a complete dog's dinner.

That's an assumption I made too, with large chunks of fleets lying around doing nothing, and the normal levels of PPE needed when painting anyway, it feels to me that it shouldn't be a task that's overly difficult to introduce extra protection and social distancing to? Missed opportunity...

Probably as awkward as FOTF looks on any Gemini 1 / Eclipse 1, especially at the front, I'd imagine. https://www.flickr.com/photos/kasakarim/40013020165 [Not my picture, credits on link]

Agree, and Wallyford is already overbussed, especially with its 10 minute to town rail link to compete with.

I realised that as I finished putting the post together, but having put the effort in, a bit like JMB I just adjusted it!

JMB in Lanarkshire did it with ex Lothian Darts, but copied the pattern not the colours - not sure if they made it their overall livery though? As Lothian 73: https://www.flickr.com/photos/44419136@N06/14466397334/ With JMB: https://www.flickr.com/photos/busmanscotland/46355428255 Neither my...

Shame, 100% my favourite discussion to roll my eyes at. Going to have to find a new one now!

That is mightly impressive and actually reflects that my original criteria were perhaps misguided!

Shame, I guess I have to remember ScotGov advice hasn't changed so I shouldn't be surprised.

Do we know if any paintwork is being undertaken at the moment, would be a great opportunity to get the rest of the euro5/6 elements of the fleet into FOTF, if that is still the livery that is!

Indeed. Did he go quiet because he got nowhere or did he board another XLB and accidently decapitate himself? I don't remember any EEN stories of killer buses so going to assume the former?

Here's the challenge - the lowest seated capacity vehicle capable of "normal service" on a publicly accessible route. Can be modern day or historic. I'm going to define the qualifying criteria as: * Proper fitted destination blind/display * Power door(s) * Ticket machine fitted Question...
