more services from Monday. Pre Christmas times except 21 hourly full route, all X25 terminating at Livingston and 26A at Livingston North Station. Broxburn and Bathgate not being served respectively. A couple of early morning changes on X22.
Is the X24 getting fully suspended?
So will it be operating between Blackridge/Armadale and Livingston, or Edinburgh and Livingston?
X24 will still be running
Journeys which went to Kilpunt Roundabout during day terminating at Livingston. This section covered by X24 and 600.
Ticket machine not assigned to the bus and driver maybe just selecting at random when signing on the machine. Ticketer gives a list of fleet numbers you see when you sign on if it’s not been assigned to the vehicle already, when it’s been swapped out for instance.
Thank goodness it's still running, thank you.
I was thinking more along the lines of because Midland are getting this particular bus one of the Ex 75 branded E400 MMCs from Glasgow so might be all set up to be placed on to that bus when it eventually gets transferred cause I know it's still currently in use with Glasgow.
driver puts bus number into Ticketer machine at start of day during his sign on also when machine is changed over. The bus numbers are already there so it is possible to press the wrong number.
The machine's Bus fleet number is already synced into the machine. The bus was tracking as a decker as well hence why I mentioned it. The driver only puts their login details in the machine. I was a driver previously hence why I know.
They must have updated that system at the Livingston Deans Depot as we certainly have to enter the number into the machine in the morning.
The number is normally already synced to the machine. I've never had to type the bus fleet number into the machine when starting my duty as it's already in it's software. I can't see a driver mistaking 33204 for 65710 especially when one is a decker and the other a single.
Unilink is currently orange and the current stock will be 7 years old this year, perhaps a change up for that? And then release the old unilink MMC's to other routes?
The First Strathtay launch seems to be coming along well
33202 sitting in Larbert as well now .in midland livery .white(ish front)
500 is the school service between Winchburgh and St Margarets in Livingston.
Ok but what was it doing in Currie at 12 o clock?
Route Training for Route 63 .
I’ve just seen it at Falkirk retail park also..
I can only assume First had these features specified from manufacturers for fuel economy with regards to the stop-start and the door interlock is for safety reasons. The Wright Streetlite also has interlock. I don't know if any other operators ordered vehicles with said specifications but Stagecoach's Enviros do seem to pull away a wee bit more quickly than First's.
