The other 50 buses have not been confirmed, its possible it could in fact be 50 single deckers instead?
I’ll be sad to see the B10BLEs go. They’re still in great condition considering their age. I think they should start with the Tridents and B7Ls first before going for the B10s. Either way we need new singles to replace them which will probably be E200s.
We need E400s as well to replace the old Tridents and older Gemini’s. Couldn’t some 54 plates be refurbished and sent to Aberdeen? Would be great to see Scania’s for a change. The L94s and L113s were great buses.

The B10BLES are pretty quick . I was thinking how long the 54 plates have got , should refurbish them maybe 5 more years of service . The old scanias last ran in late 2015 and were withdrawn suddenly .
B7Ls are horrible , seem to be afair few on the 61 and 6o.
Apart from rattling the teeth out of your mouth and the back breaking seats, other than that they're fine...

Just saw this on Flickr.. firstly I didn’t know these buses were coming back to Glasgow? Secondly what the hell are they doing on the 61!!! That route is way too busy to have such a small bus on it.... confusing!

Presently, Glasgow has gotten 44905/906 (YX09 AFN/AFO) back in exchange for the B7TLs previously mentioned. The former is back on home ground at Overtown, the latter at Caledonia. Whether or not more are due back isn't at all clear at present.
Must have missed that about 44916-921; cheers for the heads up.First West of England have currently got 44907-10/13-15 allocated to Bath, having offloaded those two and 44911/2 to Glasgow. As indicated earlier, 44916-21 were sent to Hampshire, with the last four ending up in Cornwall!
I'd not be shocked to see more north if new deckers arrive, displacing B7TLs south to allow e200s (or other single decks) north to replace older single deckers. Been a well worn path in recent months with Streetlites, Darts and e200s all heading to Glasgow.

44911/912 have both ended up with Midland Bluebird's Larbet depot; being painted in the rather plain two-tone blue livery now favored by that division. They were sent to Caledonia merely for repaint and other related prep work before being dispatched to Larbet.
The only place that might stock the paper copies will be Glasgow and Motherwell..
You can. To be fair, I'd totally forgotten that they'd moved on to Bluebird myself, so you ain't alone in that regard lolNow you say, I’ve seen pics of those two on dark blue; can I blame age??
Seen a SK63 reg streetlite on a 240 yesterday . Where did these come from?
I would imagine it'll be one of the Streetlites that came from down south a few months ago.
Yeah , never seen it before . Overtown bus maybe as it was a 240
heard 2 rumours about these dart from down south 1 theirs no drivers to bring them up 2 glasgow dont want themIf you had read this thread you would have known There should be the ones from Cornwall. Also if you haven't noticed there is a BIG event on in Glasgow?
75 e400 and 25 e200 was the rumour but a think we will only see 25 e400The other 50 buses have not been confirmed, its possible it could in fact be 50 single deckers instead?
