Any up date on these?JMB Travel, Newmains, are getting 9 new MCV Evora Volvos for the 41 Lanark to Hamilton service early in the new year. They're like those that Whitelaw's coaches have just got and I must say I prefer them to the Enviros. The drivers on the 41 are looking forward to them arriving as well. The 5 Enviros that are on the 41 are going on the 56 Shotts to North Motherwell Service.

not seen any pictures or mention of these anywhere.
Yes Ballantyne already have a JMB solo running on it an old Stagecoach Solo SV55 BZY, Service is back to every 30 minutes tomorrow as well so will have 2 buses operating it I would imagine.Are JMB still taking over the Ballantyne route 5 from Motherwell to Bellshill from tomorrow, 17th Jan? Not seen anything on social media etc. If they are, i presume it'll be an optare Solo they have on the route?
I seen SV55BZY (Optare Solo) operating today but unsure what the second bus was.
It’s not alleged at all. I know several people who work at JMB Travel in various capacities, and have worked there myself. There are new buses on order. No confirmation of a delivery date yet but we will know in due course I’m sure.I know I’ve asked before but is there anymore confirmation or sightings of the alleged new buses??

just previous comments mentioned Jan delivery so would have thought some pics of assembly at least might have been about.
These will be staying. It’ll be some of the older Darts that get replaced.
Not my pic but interesting they are painting these older vehicles given the new buses due.

Any update on new vehicles?
I saw three Evoras heading north on A74M on Thursday lunchtime. Looked like JMB Travel livery based on the old Lothian curves.I have just been told by my good reliable friend that tonight he saw one of the new JMB Travel MCV Evora Volvos travelling northbound on the M74. He says the livery looks very smart indeed.

Unfortunately not, I was driving in opposite direction.Any pics - certainly been moving to a Lothian like livery with the recent repaints
Where do they go to get the branding applied? They could be off somewhere for that.Considering these were spotted a week ago and no pics have surfaced, I personally find strange. From what I have heard, they ain't at the depot ..
Not sure where they get branded. Yeah that's 100% JMB's. Shouldn't be long before they appear stickered up.I saw one going north on the M74 last Friday, I assume it was for JMB going by the base livery (see image).
