Loved our B7 RLE's. Drove all the 07 batch and 09 batch @ Larbert. Thing was ours were limited to 62mph. Larbert 09 batch were 50 mph, the 07's at L. W had far more comfy seating than the 09's
1. It's just one man and his 15 seater minibus, nothing to do with First. Been running that for many years. Used to own a newsagent in Callander, timetables on stops say Addison of Callander.I have a couple of questions
1. What is Addison news all about like one bus every 3 ish hours and like why is it called news.
2. why are alot of first midland bluebirds in barbie livery.
and 3 what is the difference between this new x38 and the old 38.
Sorry if I sound stupid I'm from glasgow just interested in first midland bluebirds.

2. Repainting the whole fleet takes time and there's been so many liveries since Barbie, by the time Larbert was mostly painted up blue then came the current livery.
3. No real changes, just matching the Lothian Country number.
why doesn't he run it more often or is he unable?

Does anyone know what is going on with these operations? is it still a normal timetable?
Aberdeen and Scotland East are on a standard "University closed" timetable. So everything is running as normal except the Stirling UL and Aberdeen 1B, 9U & 20. I suspect the reason for this is because the network manager for Aberdeen/Scotland East was/is on holiday and they (as in the other management staff) couldn't be bothered making temporary timetables like Glasgow did.
I think this is incredibly harsh, the number of people involved in planning in that area are a much smaller group than in Glasgow and no doubt decisions were likely to have been made early last week before events fully evolved. No doubt the folk involved will be busy planning things from next week.

Overall not to bad, What we are looking for in Phrase 3 or sometime in JULY is the following:
No1 - Every 15mins
No5 - Every 15mins
No7 and full 8 fully restored.
No27 - Every 20mins
X38 - Every 15mins
However It seems one cuts has taken place, I dont think the X35 Back to Glasgow will happen now. Just look at the X37
Service 600 is back in full operate the list is wrong..
I assume that the Vicar Street changes is an attempt to deal with congestion problems at Asda?
I don't think it will. Vicar Street can take two buses fine and I seem to remember there were some works done to it a few months ago, not sure if they added another shelter though.Correct, again if long term it solves the problem then it may will be kept permainte.
