Oh my just saw the pictures! Wales aren’t looking after our native deckers very well!! I always liked the 07 plate B7TLs. They were nicer than the 54 plates as they always seems tidier internally.
Aye, YorkshireHave the 06 plate B7TLs been cascaded somewhere else.
I find the 07 plates just as manky as the 54 , 53 plates ha .

No, but i think some of the 60'S buses were late or Broken down, the 54 Plate was Originally on the M60, Then it was on the 60 going to MaryHill, the 05 Plate Originally on the 81, Then it was on the 60 going to the town, I later seen a Gemini head for Parkhead Forge.Odd , were they in the timetable?
Some in Cymru also I’m sure.
The issue with the B7TLs is that they should have been refurbished long ago along with the B7RLEs. They are good solid buses but refurbing buses isn’t a common thing with First - it tends to be more run them to the ground until they can run no more, sadly.
First Glasgow 37533 SF08 SNJ Has a Cats advert that glows up XMAS lights when it is dark.
33432 is 41 branded, think the rest of the 66 plate MMCs in Glasgow are to be 41 brandedWas looking for a possible update to what I already have for the following branded routes:
2 :67743, 70, 826
3 :67821, 93
41 :33435, 40, 41, 42
201:67834, 49, 60

38 branded decker on a 2 just passed me. I know the 2 definitely could do with deckers from time to time but not the decker I thought I'd see on it lol
Seen one the other night on the 2 as well. And the 19.
I think theres a surplus of branded deckers for 75 and 38.
You sure it wasn’t an M60?Anyone know what the deal is with the short working 60s? Seen one at Clydebank on a small 52 plate bus with a double decker one sitting in the bus station
You sure it wasn’t an M60?
Said Maryhill on the front. Behind an M60 too
Maybe extras or something.
Noticed the branded 2 e300s with stickers on the back stating low emissions. E300s that have been upgraded.
Overtown’s 67060 has been repainted in new livery.
Spent some time going over the off peak PVR of the high frequency/ex SimpliCITY routes, it's prob not 100% accurate just a guide for anyone interested

The high frequency routes certainly do use a big pool of buses. I saw on here someone mention Streetdecks, I wonder if the 4/4A could use these as I have noted some of the other First companies use these types on University services like what the 4/4A serve, just a thought.

The 4/4A isn’t what it used to be. At one stage the 44 was a Streamline service along with the 62 but nowadays it’s running at about every 15 minutes. I’d have thought it was a possible contender for new buses like when the 65 plate E400MMCs appeared in 2015 but now wonder whether singles would be better on that route and the frequency increased to every 10/12 minutes perhaps. Failing that refurbed B9TLs I think would do just fine.
I think if Streetdecks did come the 5 would be a good shout for them. I’d have thought the 38 would have been a good route for them if it hadn’t received new E400MMCs already. Unless perhaps there are plans for ‘the One’ peaks to get Streetdecks? The B9TLs they have at current are tired. Although I definitely think the E400XLB would be a better solution to the cramming on peak 1 services!
