Well, just after me saying that, First have allocated one of their tiny ancient Dennis Darts onto the peak time X23. Not a great situation.In West Lothian with First it does seem anything goes. On the 23/24/25 we get Enviro 400 MMCs, Streetlites Max (occasionally the smaller underpowered ones which are awful), Old Gemini’s, Old Eclipses. The only buses that don’t seem to end up elsewhere is the Dennis Darts which seem to stick mainly to the 27 and occasionally the 26.
Most frustrating IMO is when we get a route branded 600 on another route while the 600 has a unbranded or worse 23 branded bus.
