Wasn't most of the 'enhancements' you mentioned being introduced by McGills simply just restoring stuff First removed at the start of the pandemic/driver shortages, plus as this year has more students returning in person compared to the previous years I'm sceptical over their increase claims are...

Going off First's latest accounts (link at bottom of this post) posted 5 days ago, their profits stand at 4.5mill for this past year, last year was only 2.9Mill what compared to pre-covid when they was making 8-10mill a year is a big reduction - I think you might be overestimating how big the...

Good point over Switch Island, but if you added enough padding &/or layover into the timetable it could still be an option. I would think the reason why Maghull North doesn't have a interchange is because of the alternatives served by the routes that pass it making it simply not needed (at the...

If you was looking at adding more buses to it, rather than then spending more on adding an interchange at Maghull North, could Old Roan be an alternative option? It's fairly close to where the M58 ends & already has an bus interchange there.

I Think some of the guided B9s was to be replaced also (think one of the managers said something on twitter about a year ago over Route 56 gaining new vehicles) plus the new vehicles for Stourton Park & Ride will probably be included in the final 96 (due to open later this year)

It looks like multiple buses will carry the same theme,as 37427 (YN08 NLL) carries the same snooker balls branding to 36275 Does anyone know if the Gemini 1s that have been repainted are to gain a similar interior referb to the Gemini 2s or will they remain untouched?

Alongside the Emissions Zones coming into affect,i believe (could be wrong) the likes of Huddersfield & Halifax need B9TLs also due to some of the school contracts having age/emissions limits attached to them (possibly connected to the closure of the Mybus operations by Metro) Depending how...

I'd guess that be the MCV Dealership in Sutton (just outside Ely)

Rear 1 is a DAF DB250/Gemini 1,with the smaller rear window Rear 2 is a Volvo B7/Gemini 1,with the full length rear window Rear 3 is a Volvo B9/Gemini 2,with the revised rear end plus updated rear bumper,B9/Geminis before 2012 had a different style around the reg area without the rear light...

Same as the 201 in Lanarkshire (not my photo): https://www.flickr.com/photos/1276-busstop/50601526138

Plus the Eclipses for Cambridge busway ,Streetlites for Wales & Sheffield & Gemini 3 hybrids for London (not sure if the Streetlites for Isle Of Arran was bought by Stagecoach or SPT)

What about cutting the 3 to Silverburn & Extending the 10 to Govan? Within Drumchapel would a route swap between 3 & 6A work also (So Route 3 terminates at Kinfauns Drive Via Linkwood Dr & Route 6A goes to the Rail Stn Via Kinfauns Drive) ? This would make Route 3 a shorter route to handle,plus...

Not sure about the 576,but Streetdecks couldn't operate the 681 as it uses the Guideway when leaving Bradford. Halifax also had the Gemini styled front Streetdeck 35102 for a few months on service 503. Not sure if this counts but some of the 2019 Streetdeck order got delivered to Halifax for...

your correct on the Mercedes Sprinter (Fleetnumber 50242),think this was replaced in around 2002-2003 with a Solo in the Metro Connect livery another hidden jem but not sure if operates anymore (well not this year at least!) is the 906 from Hebden Bridge to Widdop,the final 4 or so miles from...

The maps are still available (if slightly hidden) if you go to locations > select your area > select your town & city it gives you the option of the areas route map or ticket zone map

You could save another half hour going via Halifax & the Calder Valley 06:40 Scarborough - Leeds 09:58 (843 to Leeds, Transdev) 10:45 Leeds - Halifax 12:00 (508 To Halifax,First) 12:05 Halifax - Burnley 13:40 (592 To Burnley,First) 13:52 Burnley - Preston 15:26 (152 To Preston,Transdev) 15:35...

in Huddersfield during 2005 Arriva pulled it's routes that turned off Leeds Road to serve Deighton & Bradley due to numerous attacks including a driver being robbed at knife point. First also pulled evening services for a while Article from the time...

The most direct using only buses would be: 39 or 73 Dundee > Arbroath 30 Arbroath > Montrose 747 Montrose to either Stonehaven/Kingswell P&R/Aberdeen Airport Then a service bus from 1 of the 3 options into Aberdeen City Centre From Perth,start with service 16 From Edinburgh,i think most if not...

Think its the PX61 batch of Scania/Enviro 400s you might be thinking of in the green livery,when new carrying the Freedom of the Lakes branding before being updated with the Lakes Connection branding: Freedom Of Lakes Branding: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cainebj/6268988627 Lakes Connection...

The Eclipses was replaced from Manchester by the large batch of new B9TL/Geminis Manchester gained during 2007/8 what resulted in a number of fairly new Wright Eclipses being transferred across the country (I think most if not all of the Eclipses that went to Kernow was Ex-Bury route 471),The...
