Saw a 54 plate B7TL in the new livery. Didn’t think they’d be painting these or at least they’d finish the newer buses first before moving on to them.

Probably one of the small number that came from First Edinburgh.

The 54 plate B7TL would be a Glasgow vehicle. The ones that came from Midland were either 55 plate B7TL's or 57 plate B9's

You know exactly what they mean....
If it was 32580 it was done a few months back.

I'm unsure if they ment the old Corp colours, the route coding or a brand new standard livery for the group!

Didn’t think they would have started the B7TLs given there are many E300s, E200s and E400s that are younger to be done. Although I’ve noticed they’re doing the B7RLEs too. I think the Wright stock suit the livery the best. They look very smart.
On a separate note - I noticed only 1 Airport E200MMC on show today at Caledonia depot. They were all in a big line the other day. Are they in for repaint or are starting to transfer now?

The 18 now has Next Stop Announcements but it's very sporadic as to what stop is next.
It it seems to only give you the bigger stops such as Bridgeton Cross, Dalmarnock Station for Emirates Arena and Celtic Park, Rutherglen Tesco and so on.
It sounds like the same voice that used to do the SPT Subway before it went back to the drivers announcing the stations.

Unsubstantiated comments are that they are to be upseated and repainted for use on X3 Maesteg - Port Talbot and X11 Carmarthen - Swansea
There were two at caley yesterday
Noticed that on the 75 , id thought it had switched off. Went quiet from Bedford lane and Toryglen Asda. Wonder if it works on all routes?

Yes also noticed this on the 75 as well at the Milton end it only verbally announced Saracen Cross and then once into town Cowcaddens and Renfield Street where i had to alight so i assume it must some of the more "important" stops if you will.
Probably more cuts
Some of the yn53 plates have all so been painted into the new livery

Not 100%, However with Ravenscraig master plan approved by North Lanarkshire Council, there is plenty of new opportunities for new routes

Where are these changes advertised? Looks like some of you are making it up.
They are not advertised they are rumoured hence why I asked if anyone had heard anything.
Yes I heard the plans include a bus station but have not seen them so couldn’t confirm.

Its also possible all those extras that are running about could also disappear.

It should be noted that the 61 and 241 are now operating a reduced frequency due to the school holidays so it might be that they will operate a reduced frequency maybe on Saturdays
The rumour is the 266 will no longer go to shotts.
I did hear that but had doubts as I thought First done well in Shorts ?

I had spotted the Strathclyde Buses livery on the 4 southbound at Central Station at around 13:45 today if anybody would like to see it.
Think the hype is over now with these vehicles. Well i thinkso anyway
