First Greater Glasgow

[SarahDFIG]

Confirmed this morning,

There will be a couple of unbranded vehicles though within the current order to allow for some flexibility within the fleet.

No numbers can be confirmed in regards to branded vehicles for the 38.

@lastbus

Was advised e200s will arrive "fairly" soon.

Supposed to be a launch on the 23rd

It was said that the pink E200MMCs that are on the 2 were for a branded route but the plan was cancelled. Surely First haven’t just ordered an extra 5 buses worth thousands of pounds into service and cancelled it just like that. Does anyone know the script with them?

The script is no one really knows but heard they weren't suppose to be branded to begin with but was too late. I think they will eventually get painted into normal livery unless there is a plan for them.

We're for the 34 but changed at the last moment

The 34 is still short though? So surely they’d be better putting them on the 34 and allowing the additional Streetlites to come across to Overtown.

Look very similar to the 242 livery either way someone’s messed up somewhere.

Not sure about them pink ones on the 2 heard a few different things , dunno if some people are feeding cack to keep us going .

From what I’ve heard Overtown have only to get two more of the streetlites.

Thought the streetlites moving over was scrapped since all other plans are up in the air the now.

There is suppose to still be streetlites and darts coming from down south but not sure if it's still going ahead or where from. Guessing darts from Wales when they get the airport e200s

More bus moves imminent

Tantalising - care to share??

 

[SarahDFIG]

I wonder if one of the U1 branded vehicles will be removed since next week's timetable change makes it a PVR of 3 normal and 4 in peak.

There is one unbranded anyway though it may stay at Blantyre as a spare for the uni bus

I always thought there was at least 4 haha

3 branded for U1 and 1 isn’t

The 34 had a 2001 B10BLE on the route today. One of the oldest vehicles in Glasgow running alongside the newest!

Seems a minor shunt as well between a McGill's 38 and First 9 too

There’s been a B10BLE running around on the 34 for a little bit now. It sends to stick to the 34 mainly but sometimes ends up on the 34A as I’ve seen it at the QEUH a few times.

67837 has been branded for the 201

 

[SarahDFIG]

Shocker to see the 201 finally getting branded after me saying it was put on hold

It's the same shade as the 65 by the looks of it.

Guessing 255/267 won't be long now.

Oh odd after me asking. That’s good will be nice to see an E300 with the branded front for a change.

255 wont get branded. Most of blantyres B7’s are going to city depots in return for E300’s when the airport 200’s go.

I doubt the 255 would get branded as it’s not a frequent service

Used to be every 15 or 2 mins , now every 30 i think , seen a B9TL on it yesterday .

There was one on the 64 yesterday

 

[route101]

Few strange allocations of late .
Noticed on the 267 some short wheel based E200mmcs , the ones on the 226 that you never see in Glasgow. Some deckers on 267 , more than welcome .
Solo on peak 6 to EK.
e200mmc on 57a.
Solar on peak 31 to EK .

There’s two dupes on the 255, usually if they are short of buses in the morning they’ll fire a decker on the dupes so if they need it in the afternoon for a PM run back it’s easily accessible since it’s only going to uddingston.

I see , a dupe as a extra bus running behind one?

Just covers a short part of the route to maintain frequency
