We have to wait it seems until the schools go back.
Good to know. Will definitely help a lot of services. How many extra passengers will this allow on a bus?
Around 45% of capacity now.

Varies between different types but roughly double of what it is at the moment, 20 on a single and 35ish on a decker, as i say though it varies between different types. I'd expect a 63xxx Streetlite will be significantly less than the B7RLEs.

Capacity is being doubled, there's no need to at the moment as there's not demand.

Just be grateful you have an evening service full stop.

As has been said as well dupes have been running, was wondering though over the last few days i had seen Eclipses at Milton bus terminus and originally thought it might have been a swap for one of the electric buses due to a breakdown but turns out its these that are running the dupes for the 75, sometimes seen them leave in front along with a decker just behind or not far behind a decker. The workings of the dupes seem to differ though seen 1 saying stockwell place on the desty and the other one had Castlemilk so assumed full route.
Of course mate ,just wondering with pubs opening etc.
Yeah usually run behind a decker. The 03 plate deckers have been doing dupes too

I noticed they’ve been using the 03 B7TLs on dupes too. Saw a few on the 2. These were amongst the nicest buses to come from London.
Yeah , seen them on dupes. Much more comfortable than the older tridents

The 1 and th 1A were being duplicated between Dumbarton and Balloch using additional E300s.
Good to know. The 1s I seen were both going to Clydebank from the city centre.

The ALX400 Tridents are actually ok. There's at least 1 back in service.

They were nice when they arrived refurbished in about 2013 but being used mainly on the 60/60A for years has saw them deteriorate quite rapidly inside. They are pretty loud on board too I was never really a fan.

Just any route it's required. Still on the usual 19 but it's been on the 7 and 60/A a few times last week
Definitely noticed quite a pattern by checking the app a lot today.
1/1A- Most "bus full" notices I've seen for my local stops on a weekend although probably influenced by decent weather and the shops opening
2 and 6- Surprisingly quiet most of the time apart from around 11am/12pm. The 2 is beginning to get a bit busier now though
Will be interesting to see how busy buses are after the seating capacity increases tomorrow
