Always wonder if First would ever go back into Parkhall, Antonine Park or Linnvale. The Clydebank network has been fairly unchanged for a while now and I've definitely built up a lot of things to notice going there a lot in my life and from when I worked there for 10 months.
Whitecrook could be done by the 1s and 2s no bother as the 6 is rarely that busy
The M11, M60 and 81 seem fairly busy a lot of the time from what I seen
Avondale buses always seemed dead in comparison to First
Duntocher is a tad overbused when you consider that the Citybus 17 and Avondale 300 also go there as well as the 81
The M60 and 60 are busier than the Avondale 200 a lot of the time
Despite them being short routes the M60 and 81 can be very unreliable at times
Avondale haven't long increased their Parkhall service but cut back on Linnvale frequency
I don't think Clydebank is anywhere near the draw it used to be. Shopping centre quality is way down and it tends to be local shoppers only
If Avondale can't make a go of the Linnvale service with their no expense spent approach then I don't see First deciding to have a go as well. Likewise the 184 now only exists to fill in the gaps that no one else wants to serve, hence the convoluted route around the top of Clydebank. The M11 does seem to do okay, would have thought it was more suited to running along Barnes Street.
The recent changes by Avondale appear to be an attempt to improve reliability on the Drumchapel service more than anything else. I am sure they still need all 16 of their O discs for the weekday service which in itself makes like difficult when things go wrong. I didn't think the Parkhall service had changed in frequency, it just gained a second bus to cover the Linnvale section.
Part of the problem with the local services is congestion at Kilbowie Roundabout during peak times, I am sure there was talk of bus priority at some point but nothing seems to have come of it.
