I am pretty sure that 33201 is being kept at Glasgow, as it has cameras instead of wing mirrors, and was the first in the batch.
That E200EV bus in the 2nd photo is 64105, it’s already in service.

Ahem… that’s nine
I see. What route is getting that orange branding?
As for bus fleet numbers I have no clue, do you have a spreadsheet of them?
So 9 buses are going, or is it 8 out of those 9??Ahem… that’s nine

I think its the new University branding. Seeing as the hybrid e400s are being repainted and transferred to the X10s.

Could be in for MOT

I'm not sure, but they should be coming in over the next few weeks, there's probably been a shortage of drivers being able to deliver them
I very much doubt that since 20 odd e200evs have been delivered since then.

20 odd?
Yes 20odd.

There was 64101-64122 which arrived for COP26. Since then only; 64123-64128, 64130, 64133, 64134, 64136 & 64142 have been taken into fleet. That's 11. Of which, only 64142 seem to be branded for the 7.

Is it in the Glasgow colour scheme or FSE?

Wonder if they’re planning on modernising the express services and cascading the 65 plates elsewhere around the network. Could also explain the 38 buses going the same way as the 75.

Good possibility.

Doesn’t make any sense, the 65 & 68 plate buses are the exact same, that 3 year difference is making virtually no difference what so ever.

The 68 plates do have some slightly comfier seating as well as USBs and Audio/Visual announcement systems, something the 65 plates lack.

68 plates have different seats and USBs where as the 65 plates don't have USBs so it's an upgrade right away in my eyes if that's the plan.

I don’t think “slightly” is something which has much impact with people…

It does seem a rather unusual move but a welcomed one if the route is getting even slightly newer stock with better specs.
Another thought is perhaps the X8 is being upgraded?

Should be 6 (or so) E400MMCs moving from Glasgow to Essex for their upcoming Amazon contract, my guess is 6 of the 65-plate ones.

It’s funny, at least in Glasgow, they're still running a Saturday service but during COP26 they had drivers for shuttles.
Private company, country wide.
The fact some buses still go missing wouldn't be too bad if the app had the cancellation feature that's been spoken about by the Twitter team since July/August. I'm surprised any services went back to normal when they did. On a Friday in particular I've noticed that the 2 and 3 become a lot more unreliable around peak time.
