    They have been seen in Kilmarnock and Irvine for driver familiarisation. Is it just the 11 or the 25 aswell? Would be good to see them on X36 on Sundays and if any good for motorway work. Any ideas when due to enter service?

    Transdev Blazefield

    It is poor but think these staff perk services will fast disappear due to increased NI and other contributions employers need to do. Companies will cut contracts and benefits like this and bus operators will feel the effects. Does Transdev still have many of these from the Vamooz days?
