    Good to see all the commercial experts out on force. 38B and 4 sensible changes in the current climate. I personally hope they keep the Baillieston going via Barlanark for what it’s worth, easy to say the 60 etc to through but totally different route. Do you guys really think these things are...

    66735 and 66948 are now Dumbarton vehicles too, should appear there in the next week or two, operating on loan at Scotstoun while they cover Dumbarton work i.e. the Dalmuir to OK shuttle using Darts.

    This information has been posted on other pages and is most likely already on first fleet lists, and isn’t exactly exciting or world changing news. some of the below are still being used for fleet paint / retrofit campaigns at other depots: Destined for / or already at Dumbarton...

    not correct, the B10BLEs were already on the hit list anyway and all have direct replacements planned (2 being used at Caledonia and 3 at Scotstoun temporary) 5 B7RLEs have already went to Dumbarton now. Some minis may be replaced by this one off purchase of Streetlites. No more coming as it...

    Aye, that may be, but there wasn’t an issue with the gears when I drove it on the 57 weeks ago.... sorry if wires got crossed there. Sarah is certainly a storyteller

    Sarah, this is not the case. These buses are the first we’ve had on loan for weeks. Arrived Monday and probably go back tomorrow morning.

    There may be Optare buses coming off, but doubtful due to current fleet shortages

    Surprised the oracle of info that is SarahDFIG didn’t tell us this months ago. All ex U1 Gemini’s bound for the X1.

    34396 was chosen due to being involved in a collision the day before 34365 was meant to go in for painting. So it would’ve been pointless to have two buses off the road to be repainted. Enthusiasts don’t see the day to day stuff but there you go, answered!

    Hopefully you stick around for the new stock coming in over the next 3 months so we can see an apology . I wouldn’t hedge your bets on the Tridents going in any great volume. expect to see the first new buses arrive tomorrow. As for the councillor stating the 75 buses, this was stated by First...

    Being a public forum I'm not exactly going to name where the information came from but you'll see. I will say that half the E200s that are on order are useless for city work being 44xxx numbered examples.

    The Kernow Darts have a value of zero, so it's no loss to the company to take them on. They are worth their weight in gold as they have been proven to be in very good condition, the ones that are already here drove up all the way with no failures. They are a stop gap more than anything and will...

    A lot of talk on this thread and not very much fact. The 242 service is due new E200MMC buses in the very near future, part of the 75 new buses to be delivered before Christmas. 6 routes will benefit from the fleet upgrade (many will be routes you wouldn't expect) and it's expected this will see...
