First Greater Glasgow

Could be, since apparently there was one of the very short Solo SRs on the 3 & 6A earlier this week.

There's buses off for maintenance work, it's not unusual for buses to head to other depots to help out while they're short

63104 & 63110 are now at Dumbarton, so will Dumbarton be getting the rest of full-length Streetlites that were part of that group of buses that came up to Glasgow? (63041, 63099, 63105, 63109).

Also, what is even going on with 63272 at this point, like it’s been off the road for over a year (nearly 2) after being in service for a week on the 1 routes (before the removal of the 1B & 1D services).

UPDATE - 63110 has been back at Blantyre for a while now. 63104 is still at Dumbarton.

53253 has been pulled for the 31 today, effectively swapping with 64119. Exact same thing happened last week, except it was for the sake of the 128 and it was swapped with 67829.

It makes sense when 53254 is VOR, also that the 128 is WF only and Caley cannot just take it off the road, so two working Solos on any given day is a must.

Looks like they are starting to paint Caledonia’s E200EVs.

There was talk of re-routing the 1 to accommodate deckers pre-Covid.

They could put the 11 to mountblow along dumbarton road, and re route 1 and 1a along second avenue to allow decker to be used
