The daft thing is when the new e400mmc arrived for the 75 24 newer b7sband b9s left the fleet 06 and 07 plates
My questions, perhaps off topic, but anyways, why did Volvo not use the D7E for a Euro5 decker, as opposed to the renault sourced D9B.
47549/50 due from Bath though the latter was still in the South West last nightFew streetlites due to arrive at Overtown from down south anytime now.

They must be planning to use the Streetlites on more Lanarkshire local services. As has been rumoured before the current Streetlites which are on the 34/34A are to cascade to Lanarkshire also.

Streetlites to run on 242 until Feb/March next year when the E200s arrive for itThey must be planning to use the Streetlites on more Lanarkshire local services. As has been rumoured before the current Streetlites which are on the 34/34A are to cascade to Lanarkshire also.
Yes they will be painted into new livery before going to Overtown.These will go to Caledonia for work before entering service
Service 34 is the next to get new vehicles and are meant to be in service by end of DecDo you know when the buses for the 34 are due to enter service?
I am guessing that on Sunday's the 241 will be running non branded vehicles since Overtown is closed or is that being changed?
Find the new livery on FIG too bland , too much white . Shows up the dirt ! Bit like white cars.Noticed a lot of FSE buses in the new livery at Caledonia. Their Streetlites look so much better in that livery so looking forward to seeing Glasgow’s receive the same treatment!
All buses will show up the grime in the winter weather.Find the new livery on FIG too bland , too much white . Shows up the dirt ! Bit like white cars.
Didnt realise overtown closed on a sunday.

Best looking examples so far if you ask me, the purple on the front is really nice.
I know it's possibly semantics but I'd be describing that as fuchsiaI agree looks very smart in the purple

Strange to see route branding for an every 30 mins route !
Bizarre, I always thought services like that were like the 46, I.e. a dumping ground for the dregs of the fleet.

Agreed on both, for me it's very unusual for such a marginal route as the 65 to get expensive brand new route branded buses.
I like many on here will remember First Glasgow Red fully financially depreciated Volvo CityBuses, B10MS and Ailsas staggering around on marginal routes like these and 10 minute/"Overground" routes getting brand new Barbie buses.
These days routes like the M3, 65 and the 242 are getting new buses-routes that I would not have pegged for investment and getting cascaded stock, bus interiors being refurbished (and not just a token re-moquette of seats) and risking brand new high spec buses on the 75. Changed days indeed. Amazing what a LEZ can do....
