Flexipass still available on old App. Just checked and was able to get to payment screen.

211 change in Holytown makes sense. 211 and 242 frequently follow each other around the scheme the way the timings are.

I’m sure 334013 had an explosion of some kind. Remember reading about a very loud explosion at Yorker which was heard over quite a distance away. I will see if I can dig up any more details. Edited to add. Capacitor exploded overnight 18/19th October 2024 which blew a door off.

67835 been involved in a bit of a bump this morning. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1C51QcnsoR/?mibextid=wwXIfr Link is to the STV Facebook Page showing the vehicle being recovered after a crash into a garden wall in Clydebank area today.

Even cancellations caused by the roadwork meaning journeys need to be skipped due to excessive late running?

Well it took over 20 mins yesterday to get from M8 to the bus station on the X44. The X11 is well established and more than one bus per hour so is better equipped to cope with the disruption to the timetable.

It’s not being helped with the roadworks in Glasgow causing late running up to 30 mins on some journeys and daily cancellations. If a new service is unreliable (which is not First’s fault) people will not use it.

No. It’s not interworked with anything else. Think 10am is the first run so will have come from Overtown depot to Hamilton

Did an X44 into and out of Glasgow today from Bellshill. Roadworks in town badly affecting reliability and one service inbound was cancelled. About 14 passengers on way in and 15 on way back. Can’t see it paying if they continue to use deckers as it is interworked with the X11. Maybe needs to be...

Roof issues.

Still 10 electric single decks long term off the road. Need cover for them plus two electric deckers also off long term 38464/38482

It passes my door about 2 miles from the start of the route. Most I’ve seen on ones heading towards Glasgow is 5 people, ones passing on way to Newarthill one or two people. A mate got one into town this morning and said there was 17 people on it by Glasgow. I don’t think it really competes...

This was my point to them in a nutshell.

100% this. I posted about the 211 going into North Lodge in a Motherwell Facebook group in response to question asked. Got accused of being a First Bus employee or an SPT bigwig who was doing the dirty on their 244, got chucked out the group. Unbelievable reaction.

Displays are very hit and miss. Some buses went to Aberdeen and came back with those scrolling displays. Mostly sorted but one or two of the Lanarkshire Streetlites have poor quality displays. Lots of extra dots lit making the display hard to read 63208 I think is one, another of the ex...

240 is run from Overtown depot and they don’t have a bus wash big enough for deckers. They did have some deckers running from Overtown during Covid on the 240 but after 33268 had an argument with a low bridge in Wishaw the deckers were sent back to Blantyre

And the new 211 as well, assume it will run through Jerviston. Unless they plan one of the services to run via Carfin Street to New Stevenson

Supposedly 241/254 will now be circular route 291/293. Likely (North) Motherwell Newarthill over Biggar Road to Cleland then Coltness Wishaw back to Motherwell for one of the numbers and same route in opposite direction for the other number. Will make journey time less for people going from...
