Yes the E400H demo on loan is indeed low height.

67106 has been repainted in preparation for transfer to Cymru.
Are Cymru having the entire batch?
As far as i'm aware yes. However i'm unsure of what Cymru intend to use them for.

It’s an ex demonstrator and is only on loan to first from ADL to cover for buses away getting warranty repairs.The Gold E400H has been used by Reading Buses in the past. I see that Glasgow had to hastily bolted in a vault to the floor.
Strange thing is that it was built in 2013 but only registered in 2016...Quite strange to see a 16 plated E400 that isn't an MMC.
Anyone know what the old buses are away for??It’s an ex demonstrator and is only on loan to first from ADL to cover for buses away getting warranty repairs.

IK IK, just wanted to know anyone could elaborate on warranty repakrsAs stated, some of the NEW(not old) Enviro 400s will be away for waranty work so to cover, ADL have loaned an ex-Demonstrator to First Glasgow.
I’m quite sad these buses are going as they’ve only been here a while but best that they’re getting put to good use elsewhere where more suitable.
Buses coming from wales in exchange for the ex-airport e200s. Possible these could go to Dumbarton to replace B10s.I've received further confirmation today that preserved Aberdeen B10BLE 62151 will see service in Glasgow before being repainted, and she will be one of the last B10BLEs in service with First Glasgow. This probably means more new buses are coming soon.

Mostly darts 53 plate and a few b7blesBuses coming from wales in exchange for the ex-airport e200s. Possible these could go to Dumbarton to replace B10s.

No idea sorry. 61599 has been put back on fleet to replace the now scrapped 61597 though. Can’t imagine there is many more than 10 but.Any idea how many B10s are left? I'd assume there can't be more than 10 now.
The ex-airport buses are away somewhere they can be used without removing luggage racks.It's First of old that is...Getting rid of decent buses and replacing them with buses that have probably seen better days.

They are!How hard would it be for Glasgow to use their bonce and send them off to get the luggage racks taken out and upseated? Commercial decision or not, it's utter nonsense that buses that are not even 3 years old are being swapped for buses that are almost 17 years.
SPT and/or the Councils in and around Glasgow should be really be cracking down on the amount of buses on the road that are over a certain age...

Where exactly? North Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire are littered with buses that are well over 15 years old. Don't see them being forced off the road any time soon.

They are - have you not noticed 150 new vehicles arrive in the last few months; that’s what the LEZ is all about. If they are getting Darts (and it is IF), they will only be a stopgap. Doubtless, there are many more new vehicles for Glasgow in subsequent years to meet the LEZ conditions.
Meanwhile, First Cymru have to rely on these as they have had no new vehicles since 2015/6.
