    First Greater Glasgow

    I'm not sure.... I use the 9/9a every day for work. You're lucky if you can get a seat. Bus is usually crammed leaving the City and it is the same when you get on Southside (I get on at Cardonald).

    I got the 9 home tonight about 8pm. Standing room only by the time we left town. Old, dirty and cramped bus.

    Class 314 Withdrawals

    I use the Paisley Canal line most mornings for my commute. Always preferred the 314s to the 380s. They seem lighter and more metro like. Also, I seldom get a seat on the train as I am travelling from Mosspark (2 stops till Central) and the 314s seem to have more space for standing.

    As someone who regularly uses the buses in the Southside, I would love the 9 to get some decent stock for a change. I have stood more times on that bus than sat.

    Class 314 Withdrawals

    The Mosspark to Central train (Paisley Canal line) is my local one. There have been a mix of 380s and 314s for the last couple of years. At the moment, the 08:13 and 08:43 and the 17:13 and 17:43 trains usually have 4-coach 380s. In my experience these trains are always packed so I usually get...
