David Martin now non executive chairman of First Group resigns as a Mc Gills director
Mcgill s accounts for 2018 will be filed by end of month. Total disaster expected
I wonder when the Mcgill s Public Inquiry will happen ? If was originally planned for July most holidays are over now What is the average time for a rearranged PI after the original postpinement?
Glasgow has a lot on its plate financially with round 500 million being paid as back pay to female workers and cut backs in
Public spending It would be difficult for them to find the money when priorities are education and elderly care etc
Really small number of their services would need to be run from Lanarkshire now ie 243 Hamilton to Carluke Glasgow routes such as68 71 72 329 72 for examp!e can be operated from Renfrewshire
So they are dead in the water now on Lanarkshire The PI is on Tuesday when they might announce...
Could depend on what happens at next Tuesdays Company Pi Also TM PIs for messrs Easdale,Napier and Roberts
Could be their Coatbridge adventure could be sacrificed for the the rest of the company
Will will all know in 7 days
Mcgill s now down to PVR of 18 although with lots of evening work at Coatbridge I am not sure that their services there will be able to support the overheads.
I wonder if it's leased which is most probable so will they persevere until the lease expires
Article in Greenock telegraph giving details of the brothers spending spree on property and estates including old IBM plant at £1.5m and lots of money spent on Morton from their PM man If hey are as rich as this why do they need 5% dates increase ?

Quite a lot of Mcgill s work going to other op erators this weekend and much of what is left is evenings or Sunday's only Glasgow based routes could easily be transferred to Johnstone or Inchinnan i e 329 and 72 Has cut backs on Renfrewshire created enough space for some of all of ci oatbridge...
Another contributor said the 38 pvr was 27 buses which they can't meet due to maintenance problems
If the 38 was registered as a frequent service ie every 10 minutes no less than 6 buses an hour and not more than 15 minutes between buses then even though they strive to operate a 6 minute...
Joan A itken could be tough,she was quite proud of annual test improvem ent over he r 15 ye ars . Wheel !oss guaranteed a PI and if the ope rator hasn't told her before dvsa found out it was much worse . Shadow companies more of less ended and lies at a PI lost operators licences.
SPT inspector reports on maintenance and punctuality used to go right through to the TC Maybe shortage of operators makes that impossible now in case nobody left to run SPY contracts
