The problem with First Scotland East

Fantastic picture for press release .

Is it me or are they following Lothian's style of numbering Airport services? all we need now is a 500 from either company to make a clean 6 services (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600).

Nice livery but a heavy whiff of Photoshop there

Its possible its real, as it looks like the Ingliston waste ground/old market/car park area which is right next to the run way.

Perhaps, but also First have a 500 in Glasgow. Using x00 numbers for Airport services is nothing exclusive to Lothian. It's the same with the use of 7xx and/or 7x7 numbers.

It looks real to me.

And of course in typical First fashion, it was running the X23 this morning. They’ve always been horrific at making sure route branded buses are on their own routes.

My guess for that would be that the vehicle list has not been updated to show them as branded yet, Aberdeen suffered a similar issue when the Enviro500s were branded up for the 1/2.

I think it's their MDs idea. He did the same at ASW, with the 600, 500 & 800 all serving Glasgow Airport.

What route was the 800?

600 was that Airport to East Kilbride?

 

[route101]

Apparently one of the sn66 e400s was on x78 Glasgow to Newton Mearns service

Yes the 600 was Airport to East Kilbride. 800 was Airport to Largs via Paisley and Johnstone.

The 600 was short lived

So was the 800 on the Airport to Paisley section. But they still had a plan at one stage to number Airport Link Services as X00.

There was also an ASW 300.

There was also an ASW 300.

This ran from Clydebank Bus Station to Paisley via Erskine & Glasgow Airport, initially using two SPT-liveried/route-branded Cadets. McGill's still operate this service, albeit renumbered the 757.
