Prentice Westwood Coaches join the McGill’s Bus Group

Is the new Prentice livery a McGill's thing? If not, and they aren't keeping the brand name, then that would leave Prentice of Haddington as the only Prentice in the Lothians.

If you’re referring to the livery on RPP 734, this predates the McGill’s takeover by about a year. And in terms of the brand name, this is being retained.

First experience of the F49 (Bo'ness/Blackness/Linlithgow) under new ownership:-

Basically it didn't turn up.

(There was a Midland Bluebird driver awaiting his bus at Bo'ness Bus Station - he thinks the service has been stopped).

Nothing has changed. Still run by the same bus and the two regular drivers.
The Midland Bluebird driver would be taking over the F45.

Are there any plans to introduce vehicle tracking for service F49? I imagine that would help that situation, to know if the bus is running or not!

Has the Prentice Westwood operation been moved onto the McGill's or Loch Lomond licence? The reason I ask is I saw the contact address on companies house has changed to Greenock but the license still says West Calder, could be the license not updated at traffic commissioners end.

Companies House would be where the accounts are done. The address the Traffic Commissioners use would be the designated administrative address. They can be different, as the big group operators would be using addresses in London, Stockport etc.
