Here here. I see it all the time, methadone mick and his pal sprinting for the bus only to put the card on the machine and say their destination + a companion. While folk are out there struggling to scrimp bus fare together to get to their minimum wage job. Systems needs overhauled

Firsts fares in Lanarkshire are appalling £5.60 for a single from Motherwell to Glasgow on the 240 or X11 for example. But you can get on a 6 from Clydebank to EK for £2.40.

If max cairns had a brain he should challenge the 242, the 240 was a stupid road to go after especially when firsts goes all the way to Glasgow. Can’t see their Motherwell to Birkenshaw section lasting much longer, first have well and truly closed their gap. They are even copying coakley with a...

They had an enviro on the 240 a few week ago. They are introducing contactless soon aswell. That could get them more trade as that’s a big reason folk hold back for first

Usual tactic, stick a bus right in front of first. Then when first do it back they go crying to the local papers. I think first and JMB should come to a mutual descion of jmb pulling their 240 and first will give them shotts

I’ve had many occasions of bad parking in wishaw hill, having to gingerly go round to top bend at the flats due to parked cars with B10, for some reason all your posts are very defensive. However pather is the worst by far, folk have no consideration for the buses or the customers who rely on...

We’ve already been told to slow down in general, green road now monitors speeding in and out the depot

Look forward to getting a shot on the 242’s, will be much handier for going round the schemes

First won’t go back to Lanark, waste of money they’ve been in and out too many times and lost the trust of the punters. Stuart’s won’t impact the X11 much, 241/0X morning time table is ridiculous, massive gaps in the timetable and I was driving the X11 last week and was still getting decent...

254 is meant to be yellow, same shade as Motherwell FC

PVR is 59, not sure exactly how many buses the depot has

Blantyre have 9 240 boards with 4 shorts aswell, overtown have 15 240 boards.

dont know what’s gone yet but 69014-16/19/21/34-37 are all on the transfer sheet to cally and 47618-47628 in the other direction.

66988 going from Blantyre to call for 44530 in return tonight, 8 streetlites going to OV tonight in exchange for 8 B7RLE’s

66282 is the quickest bus I’ve ever driven, a vehicle well worthy of preservation.

241 only received new buses due to competition, originally planned for the 242. 18 has new buses due to the LEZ and its the highest grossing route in Lanarkshire. 267’s streetlites are actually amoungst the most reliable on fleet. The 226 enviros are not going anywhere, buses do stray from...

I work for first Glasgow, and have seen on paper the investment the company has put into routes. Saying that it’s very incorrect is an inaccurate statement. Buses on diddfenet routes occur when the depot is short of buses or waiting on buses off engineering in the morning and have to put the...

241,X11,201,267,18,242,254,226 have all seen investment in the past few years

Just saying where I work they’re referred to as dupes or the powburn flyers

Just covers a short part of the route to maintain frequency
