This was posted by Stagecoach on Friday, not giving much notice tbh. The service is still registered on the Western Buses licence unless there has been a late licence change not through...

The new X25/X25A timetable is up and would seem it will differ in having no peak uplift on weekdays and no longer serve the University meaning 7 buses for the full day.
Will this cope...
Was looking for some help regarding the blue seats/interior:
Were 496-510 the only new buses delivered in this style? (I had thought 571-590 were too).
We're any buses refurbished to this style?
Is 496 the only bus still in this style or are there others?
As thought previous the 242 will be roughly every 30 mins but with a near 20-25 min layover at Holytown now which will remove the need for the extra pek bus for the extended Maxim journeys.
Are the disposals to Clyde Metal Scrap and Ensign Dealer still ongoing or have they been ended/paused? Haven't seen any mentioned on here for a while now.
I'm guessing the new 209 will be every 30 mins Mon-Sat daytime to match the JMB 5 (the Craig's 209 was subsidised and withdrawn by SPT last year), with the 242 being reduced from 20 to 30 mins but combined with the 209 between Motherwell and New Stevenson.
Yeah I agree it would be tight but could you cut the 10 min layover at the campus to say 5-8 mins, I looked at the revised X19 service and it has only a 7 min layover at each end and this is tight esp for a City route
Thanks, the last time I looked it hadn't been updated hence why i mentioned confirmation or rumours. Amazed at the 211 as North Lodge is already served by an SPT service, I assume it will be the same route as the 202 as Calderbank and Cairnhill schemes are bad for parked cars so a small bus...
Has this all been confirmed but remains confidential for now or is it just rumours going around?
If First are really wanting a bus war why not have a 241 Lanark to Hamilton and a 256 Shotts to North Motherwell new services?
I don't know why First are even bothering with this because nothing...
I can't see a council paying for a replacement service given that other services exist even if it does mean passengers having to change onto different services to complete journeys. The best hope is for the new 39 to be extended to Rosewell at the next service change as even the current...
Yes I thought so, thanks for confirming. Isn't Dumfries depot still being used to stable 2 or 3 buses overnight for the X74, so they would need to find somewhere else for them. I do see Stranraer depot is listed for sale here https://www.loopnet.co.uk/listing/lewis-street-stranraer/39132814/
Regarding the XLB's, are these the main bus used on the 31 and will they be able to access the Rosewell terminus one the 31 is extended as it looks a tight turn if any vehicles are parked on Carnethie Street, though I would imagine this has all been checked out beforehand?
Does anyone ever recall Citylink operating the X74 Dumfries to Glasgow as their own 974 service, something in the back of my head tells me it was the late 90's or early 00's and I'm sure I saw a Citylink bus with Dumfries and 974 on it in Glasgow, the reason i ask is with everything that is...
Not sure if 940 replaced 933 but with no increases in PVR needed now could 940 & 941 be to replace 936 and have a spare to cover any maintenance/repaints? The X19 looks like being reduced from 5 buses to 2 off peak (tight 7 min turnarounds at each end) but will it still req 5 buses at peaks?
Maybe because there has been so many rumours and different stories coming out so far, I think the early announcement from First reg the Cumbernauld express services didn't help as probably Stagecoach still had other areas to sort and finalize before they can or will make a proper announcement...
Could be one of those routes where any type is used I guess as it only requires 2 buses.
Can the 32 accommodate doubles and have any been used on it or has it just been singles?
Does the 113 need a 30 min frequency between Tranent and Pencaitland? My suggestion being to split the route at Tranent and reroute 1 bus p/h to Haddington as 106, so both the 106 & 113 are hourly but combining between City and Tranent every 30 mins, if resources allow extend it back to the...
It's only on Mon-Fri, Sat remains every 30 mins, with the loss of the 46 that is quite a reduction in frequency between Fort Kinnaird, Newcraighall and Musselburgh since only 2 years ago you had the 30 operating every 10-12 mins over this section.
Regarding the 12 and it's coordination with the...
