Thanks for clarifying that for me.

It will probably only be on the 31 like the E400EV Demonstrator.
As staff have said that the 31 is the only route suitable for E400EV bus because it would be vandalised on any other route.
I don't think this is the actual reason, from what I heard the demonstrator is only programmed for the 31 and 500 routes but has only appeared on a 31 as of yet. Vandalism can happen on any route, no?
As for 70101, I'd be very surprised if it was bound to the 31.

The 31 is prone to vandalism like any route, the 31 is an easy route for an EV especially as a trial although it could be for more reasons than thag

69322 has been out on a 7 all day, I was on it today also
What depots are 69271 & 69272 at? I really want to catch them in service.
271, 272, 299 and 322 are in Caledonia. 366-368 got transferred to Overtown a day or two ago.

I don’t know if this has been said, the EVs taken off for inspection are now gradually returning to service.

Any bets that next order will come from Wright or Yutong? I am aware Wright is supplying new buses for 500. Maybe ADL has blotted its reputation with what happened with ADL 200EVs ADL getting a lot of stick about this on Bus and Coach Forum Industry News platform.

It would be good to see Yutongs but realistically going by the 500 order - I imagine Wright will be sticking around in Glasgow

Also spotted it in the City Centre on Saturday. Glad to see it’s still going, after it being such a strong performer in Aberdeen.

Saw it parked up yesterday behind a Bradford Eclipse in the depotLooks like 37200 is back out again, but it managed to break down on its first tripapparently 218's engine and gearbox came in handy for it

The Wright Repower is tracking as 37200.Looks like 37200 is back out again, but it managed to break down on its first trip
Someone who is staff edited bustimes.org to say 37200 was out with parts from 37218 I think to make it good.
37200 is back out today despite breaking down on the 4A yesterday. Passed me on an 88, I think I might just jump on it when it comes back the other way. Not sure what it's tracking as though, and on that note I'm not sure what 70101 is currently tracking as either.

Great to see it back in use. I think it ran for a day in September but it may have been a bustimes error.
It’s a shame that they never bought more of the StreetLites from Ensignbus that went there from McGill’s originally First Scotland East.

They seemed to work fine mostly with Scotland East.

Apart from them being as unreliable as the driver shortage. The majority of the fleet were off the road long term because of unreliability

63272 is a 65 plate Streetlite it's the newest bus they'll have just now, Dumbarton's never had the newest fleet in general anyway newest they had was 14 plate Streetlites, Caley's always had the newest for obvious reasons it being the main depot for the City
