    First Aberdeen

    First should have just opted for electric buses like they have with Glasgow and their other subsidiaries.

    First Aberdeen

    It is bizarre to think that there are hydrogen buses which were delivered in 2020 and have barely seen service in nearly four years.

    First Greater Glasgow

    Perhaps with the new Glasgow electric livery being introduced - First don’t want too many different liveries flying around in Glasgow.

    First Greater Glasgow

    Blantyre is getting EV charging ports so I imagine some sort of electric order is going to follow otherwise they wouldn’t bother. Plus the B9TLs will be coming up for renewal in the very near future so they’ll require a pretty big order to replace them - no doubt new generation E400EVs making...

    The new livery is miles better than the urban livery. It has so much more character and it’s very striking unlike its predecessor. Having a standard livery will prevent the constant cycle of repaints too.

    Repaints seem to be never ending at Glasgow they will have so many electric buses to paint now!

    First Greater Glasgow

    If they are covering for delayed Electroliners then I imagine they’ll return to Glasgow. However, with Blantyre going electric and the B9TLs ageing - I wouldn’t be too surprised if Glasgow sees a big order of new generation E400EVs in the near future. It’s very common for new buses to push...

    A number have gone to Aberdeen from Dumbarton but Scotstoun have retained most of theirs. I’m sure many were due to go off lease last year but I don’t think that happened? Hopefully a big order is announced soon to replace the B9TLs.

    It will probably be repaired. The bus is only about 11 years old and the damage doesn’t look that bad.

    First Glasgow went through a period of their diesels all catching fire. So far touch wood nothing with our EVs.

    First Greater Glasgow

    There was talk of 15 ex-Manchester E400s for Glasgow, however the E400s seem to be for Aberdeen to standardise the fleet.

    First Greater Glasgow

    I just hope a new electric order is announced soon to replace the B9TLs altogether. Not a fan of Glasgow seeing cast offs.

    First Greater Glasgow

    Now there’s 70+ B9TLs needing replaced in the not too distant future.

    First Greater Glasgow

    A few of Scotstoun’s E400s were loaned to Caley last week so I assume that’s where the E400s will go. If it was the 14 plates it would be a bit of a full circle moment. It’s been ages since Glasgow saw cast offs from down South. Not overly thrilled about seeing 12 year old buses in Glasgow...

    15 apparently. Bit of a weird one but Caley has been short of buses for a while now

    First Aberdeen

    Glasgow seems to be tracking fine so seems strange Aberdeen has been completely cut off altogether. I wish we’d get proper tracking like in England.

    First Aberdeen

    It’s a shame Aberdeen no longer tracks on bustimes.org

    First Aberdeen

    Perhaps! Any idea if more are to follow from Manchester?

    First Aberdeen

    Interesting move on the E400s although wouldn’t it make more sense to just move the remaining E400s from Glasgow to join their sister buses?

    First Greater Glasgow

    Are the 77 branded E400MMC gradually being moved over to Caledonia or are they just on loan? I’d have thought some E400EVs could have been moved over to operate the 77.
