    First Greater Glasgow

    Expect that to be the norm by the looks of things, as for my local bus the 75, the idea of every 12mins is now between 10-15 mins at times but seems to be particularly every 13 minutes more than any other frequency within that range.

    First Greater Glasgow

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-67357077 quite surprised no one has mentioned this so far, What would be the state of play etc will services run or not and how this is going to affect the city in general or do people think it will likely get suspended or fixed out before...

    SPT Tendered Routes

    Even when the 29 ran cross city it was one of those fringe routes and ran every 30 mins during the day up until about 7pm, IE High Possil-Mansewood

    Scottish Citylink

    Anyways in regards to the 902, I would like to think it would be some possible uplift to the timetable, even if only temporarily, as it does incorporate the Christmas period. I wouldalso think there may be a market there for people travelling along the route to go into Livingston, in particular...

    TRIVIA - What's your birth loco?!

    Mines also, not necessarily on my D.O.B but the day before 90012 got completed

    SPT Tendered Routes

    Don't you think that this has already been tried to an extent? The only thing that happens when routes from SPT get cut is then petitions galore to get the route back on etc, whether it be First or another operator, and then SPT panders to protests and re-instates the route usually I have...

    TPE Nova 3 (Class 68 + Mk5s) updates and withdrawal from service

    This is what i thought as an idea when i heard about the 68's and Mk5a's being withdrawn from TPE, send a few up here to complement the equally disastrous introduction of the HST's up here and use them for Inter7City services seeing as Scotrail already has had experience with the Cl68's and...

    Does anyone know if there is any sort of roadworks etc for the 902 just after Coatbridge at the moment? I was travelling back from Livingston to Glasgow yesterday and the coach went from Bank Street then turned up right towards and past Coatbridge Sunnyside station, before continuing along...

    First Greater Glasgow

    Well here's my tuppence worth as an idea for the Glasgow operation. I know these E200EVs etc have been bought in etc but it think First should maybe try and look at have a predominately Decker operated fleet, similar to the way that Edinburgh is. Now there are 2 reasons for this: 1) Would...

    First Greater Glasgow

    I would pretty much expect the network as it is now not to have too many changes going forward for at least the next few months, i think most of the companies will just be keeping it slow and steady just now and seem to be more settled in regards to being able to offer a more reliable service...

    Yeah, that was the ill-fated Clyde Coaster 901 that First tried with route-branded Geminis for the run. The Geminis probably were a good call as the route is scenic at the Largs end etc, but it obviously didn't last long. Actually, speaking of old Citylink routes, I just had a look at some old...

    Citybus Manager

    a lot of the buses do tend to be more European market, so for example Citos, citaros, DL05, sprinter etc but they are based off the real buses, so again the vast majority of the deckers are based off their real life counterparts eg B9TL's, and DL05's I can only assume in terms of the...

    Citybus Manager

    This is a new game that has come out on steam, developed by the same people who made Bus Company Simulator for Omsi 2 IE PEDEPE In this you can set up your bus company in pretty much most cities or towns in the world, you then have to build your depot, hire staff and buy buses and try to make a...

    First Greater Glasgow

    speaking of the doors, thats what i did on the first bendy I was on, I walked from the back to the front doors as that had always been the way of it in Glasgow with the bendys, the only reason i did it on the way back is because someone else was getting off at the back as well and i had seen a...

    First Greater Glasgow

    Thanks for that info @Volvodart as i was visiting Aberdeen yesterday and seen 34375 and 34385 and thinking i cant leave Glasgow without something that reminds me of Glasgow and speaking of Hydrogen, i did use one of the Hydrogen buses on the 20 and was fair to say they could shift.. I also made...

    Scottish Citylink

    I am starting to get the feeling that this maybe very well AIR service being rerouted to serve Deer Park and then continue to the Airport and vice versa, the only reason i say that is that having looked at the 900 timetable again, the night time journeys that go into Deer park also call at the...

    I really do hope this goes ahead, i have been saying for a while there needs to be a bus back out between Glasgow and Livingston again, the train as good as it is, is not sited well in Livingston meaning either a long walk from each station to the centre or getting a bus which then adds to the...

    First Greater Glasgow

    Just reflecting on what had been discussed about Drumchapel and Drumry Rd East in particular, this would probably be my solution, i would have the M60 continue down it as it does tend to be smaller buses that are used and have the 60 go into the retail park, i get that there is very little...

    First Greater Glasgow

    speaking of slightly unusual buses on certain routes, i did see Enviro 200 EV 64125 on the 75 earlier today, initially thought it was an M3 til i looked at the desty.

    First Greater Glasgow

    I think they did do this with the 12 for a while and extended it from Standburn Road up to the business park just across from Asda (where the Wallacewell Farm is) and used the stop there for the terminus before using the roundabout there to come back the other way, granted though that was a bit...
