The Ex-Scotland East batch are still allowed to be on the 60/60A, and I believe they’re the same height as the Cornwall batch?

Good Riddance! They were a terrible replacement for the loaned E200MMCs that got sent to a Go-Ahead company once the loan went off.

I don’t think Solo SRs would do well on the 240 however as of the shorter E200MMCs and E200s do appear on the 240. I don’t think a Solo SR could mange...
I think the random Gemini withdrawals aren’t helping at the moment with the fleet shortages.
Like sometimes you get one withdrawn for a while, only to have it go back in service, like 37225 for example, which has been put back in service to replace one of the Ex-Manchester Geminis being withdrawn.
Is there a reason why two 38 Branded Johnstone based Yutong E12s are working on Inchinnan Depot services today?
Also, no, it’s not a tracking error, I just seen J-5041 on the 23P, and will probably catch J-5029 on the 26 later.

I don’t think I’ve seen a double decker go under that bridge normally, and most double decks that have gone under it have gotten stuck.

It seems like such a waste to get rid of all the E400MMCs, like I said, they are already much better suited on the X19 compared the the short E200MMCs that replaced the E300s originally.
Huh, I wonder what happened for First Glasgow to actually care about it?
It seems like nobody had issues with it for 25-26 years when the B7TL Geminis were brand new (maybe even before that, back with the older Strathclyde buses).
I’m still surprised that it wasn’t an issue for years, and that the Gemini was such a common bus for years on those routes. (I mean, your pfp is one of the 61 branded ones).
That makes me wonder, did the Plaxton Presidents and ALX400s also break that rule too?
I could see them swapping the last two of their BYD E400EVs (84070 & 84071) to Killmarnock (to join the rest of their batch that they got back in 2025) for a few E400MMCs (mainly 10919 & 10132 which are the only SN67 plates left in the West/South Scotland fleet).
