Is it abusing the systems? Maybe it helps them going on the buses .
The question is whether we should be enabling people to make essential journeys or enabling people to have jollies?

Concessions should certainly allow for those essential journeys of visiting families, shopping, clinic/hospital appointments...The question is whether we should be enabling people to make essential journeys or enabling people to have jollies?
Been told the Airport deckers will be the same colour but a revised livery too suit a double decker.
1 is near completion at ADL Falkirk and will start it's test runs soon. Hopefully we will see a picture of it at ADL very soon on flickr

Of course there are even the elderly who travel to a day out in Aberdeen from Glasgow, it is there right they should have those excursions if the system allows it, even if they got limited long distance journeys per year many may also be visiting family far away.
For the way in which this country is litterally going crazy these days about equality says differentiating all disabilities is wrong, it just doesn't work in this country to make those judgments anymore without some softy getting efficacious.
Even alcoholism and drug dependancy is seen by many as a disability of sorts.
I think 3 left if even thatNot seen any tridents last two days , are they gone ?
thanks for info33102 SK19 EOO is completed
Picture on Facebook of new airport double deckerI think 3 left if even that
thanks for info
in one of the groups? if so can't see it. Guessing they are still purple with revised livery as per my earlier commentPicture on Facebook of new airport double decker
Seen more E400mmcs on the x19 . What service went head to head ?
This is the new 500 deckersin one of the groups? if so can't see it. Guessing they are still purple with revised livery as per my earlier comment
I hate the Enviro 400 City's, they look horrible. MMC's look way betterThis is the new 500 deckers

I really like the E400City it makes a nice change from the E400MMC. I wonder if they could get a low height option for the 6 and upgrade the fleet for that route. Then they could move the E400s on to other routes like the 3, 9, X8, 16 services.

The new 68/19 plate E400MMCs are all low height (13"8'), only fully height E400MMCs with First Glasgow are the 65 plates (14"1').
None of which are low enough for the 6 like the e400s are
Low height ones would get under, but it's probably too tight to risk.

Yeah , maybe know that and not gone to test it .
E400 citys would e good for a bit of variety
6 has a mixture of eclipses , e300s and e400s. More singles on it now , surely theres enough deckers to cover the 4 and e400s to be put on the 6.
I think 3 left if even that

Honestly doubt the 6 will get new vehicles. They are what 8 year old.
Never too old to receive new deckers. At a time the 2 (formally the 62) was operated by new low floor Scania L113s, followed by L94s which introduced about 1997/1998. Then by 1999 bendy buses were operating on these routes. Followed by in 2001/2002 a massive order for B10BLEs and B7Ls. By 2005 new B7RLEs were ordered for the route.
It doesn’t matter how long they’ve been on the service, if they want to renew the stock they will. I’ve noticed a number of the E400s straying on to routes like the 4 and some even appearing on routes like the 3, 9, 10 and 57. I even saw one on the 2 the other day. There must be a reason for this.
It is just not on age new buses are allocated to routes. It also depends on how profitable the route is and the opportunity for growth. Is the 6 highly profitable
