| Was this an original McKindless bus or did he aquire it from somewhere ? |

| I think it was probably acquired from somewhere... Probably runs better than some of the crap they use... |

| Does it go out on service work or is it off the road?
It looks like the old SMT colours but i dunno if it is |

| is this a Scannia or Volvo |
|
|
|---|
| The Wright Liberator was bodied for the Volvo B10L and was launched in 1995 (the B10L was launched over here in 1993). There were not many Volvo B10L's produced, this was due to the cost of the bus and apparently there was an awkard layout at the back as it was produced for the European markets. The Wright Renown was for the Volvo B10BLE and was launched in 1997 and was far more successful.
For post-95 Scania low-floor chassis Wrights called it the Axcess-Ultalow (for L113) and Axcess-Floline (for L94UB). |

| This is the cheap way of converting a bus to single door!! by doing it this way they arnt removing everything such as the wiring. i bet behind them panels u still get the steps and stuff present.
If u look closely theirs a panel that lifts on skirting where door would go which goes to show something needs to be accessed.
With these independant companies they dont do things properly. Yes it would look lovely with a window. Why didnt they just leave the doors their!! so wat if they loose a couple seats.
All i can say is these buses are only fit for the scrap yard!! |

| As a point of historical interest, the odd looking halfcab 'decker at the right of the shot is one of two Leyland 'Lowloader' prototypes, i.e. forerunners to what became the Atlantean! Sad to see such a famous bus neglected like this. I notice the photo was taken in 205 - any info on whether these are still there, or if they have moved on?

| The sole Volvo B7TL (with Wrightbus Eclipse Gemini bodywork) in the fleet was purchased new in late 2005 (October I think) and instantly put in the 'Lancashire Way' livery scheme.
I remember being in Accrington bus station when it was still very new and there were lots of photographer's flocking to capture it on camera (including me!).
The buses on this route recieved names, which was the first time something of that nature had occured within Lancashire United. They all start with 'Pride of...'
Now, the 'Lancashire Way' isn't the only differently branded route - there is also 'Spot On' - that can be your next photograph adventure!!! :-) |
|
|
|---|
| Part of the same batch that went to Burnley & Pendle for their X43 service - branded as The Witch Way. Burnley & Pendle got 14, the 15th is this one. Some of the older B7TLs with Plaxton President bodywork went to Lancashire United. All but two are branded for The Lancashire Way. Of the other two, one is in standard Lancashire United colours and the other is branded for the 152 Burnley - Preston service. The rest of Burnley's Presidents went to Harrogate and Keighley, with one going to Yorkshire Coastliner. |

| Yeah First have taken over Hutchison but havn't agreed a date of when it will be effective. We do know however that the drivers and buses will be transfered to Blantyre Depot and will merge into First Glasgow (No2) |
|
|
|---|
| Possibly a silly question but what is the difference between First Glasgow (No. 1) and First Glasgow (No. 2)? |
|
|
|---|
| First Glasgow (No1) is what used to be Strathclyde's Buses however First Glasgow (No2) is the remnants of Kelvin Central Buses |
|
|
|---|
| First are also supposed to be taking on Whitelaws routes because he's giving up. This is wrong because the more established independants that give way the more little operators like Coakley that come in and put on Heaps of Junk. That dosn't make the journey exciting or comfortable. The buses should also be Nationalised again and we should go back to the SBG. They were the days |
|
|
|---|
| Why would Whitelaws be giving up? Do you know their operations? Well they have a clear run from Hamilton - Coalburn, Netherburn etc etc. Are receiving new darts (you not seen them in Hamilton?) So I think that you need to check your sources as in my opinion - they are bull!
Whitelaws are not being taken over. I am 100% certain that they are not.
|
|
|
|---|
| I was just saying what i heard and that was that First had launched a bid. So don't start |
|
|
|---|
| You didn't say that. You said that he was giving up... that is totaly different from launching a bid. |
|
|
|---|
| Yes he was giving up and due to this First had launched a bid!!! there you go. Supposidly he dosn't want to run buses anymore |
|
|
|---|
| The guys right - he is not giving up! Why would they go and buy a fleet of new buses and give up - as he said - check your sources! |
|
|
|---|
| Well then i put this to you did Hutchisons not add to its fleet? does it not have clear runs? and yet it is being taken over. |
|
|
|---|
| Hutchison has not had a new bus or coach since 2004 - they SOLD their brand new coaches after a month or two! Also, they did not have a clear run: They had Mckindless running 5 mins in front of them, they had First as well. Whitelaws does not have the competition - from Hamilton up to Coalburn, Netherburn, Stonehouse etc - there are no other companies! You go through Larkhall and see how busy their buses are by the time they get there. |
|
|
|---|
| Hutchisons buses go to get their Vaults fitted tonight for the transfer to First and the Buses become part of the First Glasgow (No2) fleet on the 1st of July |
|
|
|---|
| I doubt that it is the 1st of July as nothing has appeared on VOSA yet! |
|
|
|---|
| It is the 1st Of July believe me i know
The vehicles have had their vaults fitted and everything |
|
|
|---|
| Well if there is nothing VOSA then there is no chance that is the 1st of July. First cannot start operating their proposed routes until they have applied to VOSA. |
|
|
|---|
| Look the buses move to Blantyre on the 1 of July did i say they started operating the services then NO! the buses still have to be painted and Serviced before they start work |
|
|
|---|
| I seen a whole wack of Hutchison Buses today and not one of them had a vault! I was on an 02 and an 04 and not one had one! |
|
|
|---|
| Yeah there was a muck up the some of them have them and some don't
They could'nt get them in without mucking up the linal carpet and Hutchison told them not to fit them because he wants them to be in as good a condition as pos till he packs it in.
Supposidly now they are going to get fitted when they get painted |
|

| Sorry i had been told that Hutchisons were keeping the Scottish Pullman .
First are getting the coaches to operate the Motorway Express
Sorry about the earlier |
|
|
|---|
| Sorry but i think you were mistaken. Not one Hutchison bus has had the new livery applied. Some have vaults but none are painted. |
|
|
|---|
| That is true they havn't been painted yet |
|
|
|---|
| 10 of the 16 buses going to First have had vaults fitted. Not one has received even a lick of barbie paint yet. They will take 4 coaches for the 2 express services to Cleland and Newmains from Glasgow and Hutchison Coaches will remain operating 12 other coaches on tours, hires etc. etc. - this is the be all and end all of what has happened so far. |

| kevin i beg to differ, i used to travel on buses like this between elgin and inverness every week, u would get off with a creak in your back and a sore back side because of the seats same with the old oxford tube things they used on megabus. and as for them mistral things, they look ugly with that sloping window at the front, no need for it at all. I'm just glad stagecoach have replaced things like 52608 on my route with some comfortable modern B7 profile coaches! |

| I just want to say that this bus isn't a Ballater bus it is an Elgin Depot bus as i work for the company and in Elgin and we have it on routes just like what the last comment said. This coaches aren't the best i know but the entrance door on these ones are better than the new fleet that we have. |
|
|
|---|
| ok if you work for stagecoach why do all the jonckheeres start with 526 |
|
|
|---|
| it's not just Jonckheeres that start with 526 most of our fleet do. but to be honest i have no idea i just drive them. but i will find out. |

|
|
|
|---|
| i don't know about that but Arriva are supposed to be pulling out of Glasgow, and there is talk of abondoning scotland as well because they want to concentrate on England |
|
|
|---|
| I'm not sure about the Scotland part but i have been told that they are supposed to be pulling out of Glasgow |
|
|
|---|
| I realy don't know i had just been talking to some drivers and they had been telling me. No doubt it will probably be First who take over the routes either that or some Private operator will take it. i realy dont have a clue next time i'm speaking to one of the Drivers i'll ask and let you know |
|
|
|---|
| Is it i wasn't sure i just knew that they were supposed to be pulling out.
Is it just Glasgow or the whole of Scotland? |
|
|

| They've just started a big recruitment campaign for drivers. |

any buses on a D7 run |
|
|

| Dont think that it will make any differance to Dunfermline time will tell. Do you mean the Alexander PS as a bus used on the D7 mate |
|
|
|---|
| sorry craig what i meant is the shoping centre will be better the bus station will be better as well the old one was an eye-sore mate.
No i meant are their any photos on this website of stagecoach buses on a D7.

| I seen 31394 on the 18 today - just like the days before Dec 2004! |
|
|
|---|
| in my opnion a leyland is the most reliable bus on the road |
|
|
|---|
| I agree Leyland buses are strong and reliable. |
|
|
|---|
| dont know what anyone else thinks but the most unreliable bus on the road is a Dennis Dart
|
|
|
|---|
| No im afraid i disagree, I would say the most unreliable bus on the road is the Wright Renown's. For a start the engines to small for them and the struggle getting up hills. They overheat all the time. The doors take ages to open and often get stuck. You feel every single bump on the road. The brakes are slack and they take ages to stop. The darts are alright buses most are quite fast some just need new engines i had one yesterday 42877. |
|
|
|---|
| one thing that is a bit annoying about stagecoach is that their Dennis Dart bus doors close with such a bang one or two of them are quiet but most are nosey |
|
|
|---|
| Leyland buses make a sort of honking noise when the driver puts the handbrake on.
|
|
|

| Alisdair do you drive for Stagecoach or something?
Were you at the open day they had on Saturday in Kilmarnock, I was quite a good day got some good pics |
|
|
|---|
| nope sorry i wasnt at the open day and i dont drive for them either. |
|
|
|---|
| Alisdair you seem to know a bit about Stagecoach could you tell me what their pricing schemes are... Do they do an all day ticket like First and also does is it the A4 that runs from Ayr Bus Station to Craig Tara holiday park and if it is how often does it run? |
|
|
|---|
| yes they do have an all day ticket i think it might be £5.90 to travel round Fife.
The A4 runs from Ayr to Glasgow also the X77 does it is faster i am sorry i am not sure about the times but i can find out if you like |

| i was haveing a chat with a stagecoach bus driver one day and he said that to get new towns on to a new bus is easy its done from the depot via a computer but for an older one it is not so easy some sort of computer chip has to be connected to it then typed in manuley |
|
|
|---|
| Hey Alistair thanks for that sorry i was late in getting back to you. I checked out the X77 on Sat in Buchanon. I thought the A4 went by Craig Tara Holiday park do you know about this is- does it ? |

| sorry mate i havent a clue |

Thanks Anyway mate

| going to write to the Livingston depot i might be able to get a roller blind there |
|
|
|---|
| Ok i can have a look in Blantyre for you their taking them off the darts to convert them to electronics |
|
|
|---|
| what places are on the roller's |
|
|
|---|
| Most of them are the First Glasgow routes places for instance
East Kilbride (HAIRMYRES)
Coltness
High Earnock
etc |
|
|
|---|
| right it is just that i was looking to get one that had place's like Falkirk Bus Station, Edinburgh Via Motorway or Balfron, Stirling bus station that sort of thing.
Cheers Mate |
|
|
|---|
| The one i have i think is off an old Midland bus because it has places that arnt FG routes i'll have a look. It came off a Dart that used to do the Monklands Hops to Falkirk route |
|
|
|---|
| well if it is could you let me know please |
|
|

| if it has got places like Falkirk bus Station then i might be interestead in buying it |

| Good to see heritage RM1640 on route 9 but why mention its First national fleet number? |
|
|
|---|
| Maybe because on alot of his other collections he uses the number displayed on the bus |
|
|
|---|
| Even so, this and all the other surviving Routemasters that have received a new fleet number of some sort are far more commonly referred to by their original London fleet numbers, which of course they retain on their bonnets. |
|
|
|---|
| des shut up about the fleetnumber and admire the photos hes taken more to worry about its just a number . |

I will get the old number and new number plus registration added this evening .

| I don't know what anyone else thinks but these were the best buses in the First Glasgow fleet before they got trasfered down south.
I'd say now the best buses are the Alexander PS/Volvo B10M's and the Volvo Olympian/Alexander Royale's.
|
|
|
|---|
| I couldn't believe it when i found out this had been turned into a Learner bus. Thats out of order! I think they should be sent back up here . |

| These buses are crap, we in halifax have about 30 of them,
5 of those have been refurbished and they are still no better. |

| not sure mate i saw a bus like this on the number 3/4 route in Falkirk quite a few times now. |
|
|
|---|
| tell you what mate
next time i am in Falkirk i will take the reg number and let you see it |
|
|
|---|
| saw it in Falkirk on the E43 route yesterday as the bus that would normaly do that run was on the 3/4 runs.
that means that the number 3 runs from Grangemouth to the Falkirk wheel then goes back to Grangemouth on the same route.
It then changes to a 4 and goes to Camelon and back as a 4 back to Grangemouth and goes back to a 3.
They keep doing that all day unless they are needed for another route later in the day. |

| the bus i saw in Falkirk is...

| i think first glasgow have as route learners ive seen a picture of it on this site |
|
|
|---|
| sorry First Glasgow have what as route learners? |
|
|
|---|
| First Glasgow do not have any buses for route learning. They quite simply stick another driver who knows the route on with you and show you the route once. Thats how you learn the routes |
|
|
|---|
| http://glens-buses.fotopic.net/p36235486.html
well i was told these was used for route learning duties |
|
|
|---|
| i have a funny feeling it could be with First at the larbert depot now Craig.
The same happend to you as well mate the computer thought my name was Paul Bremner.
Sorry about that Mr Bremner dont know why that happend.
|
|
|
|---|
| last time i saw this bus it was on the 16route it is now pure white just like the one in the photo above |
|
|
|---|
| Just found out that the M719 BSC was used in Dunfermline but not that often it was based at Stagecoach Glenrothes depo and used in Kirkcaldy alot |
|
|

| i think first have it now could have sworn i saw it in Falkirk the other day |
|
|
|---|
| The bus did go to First in the middle off last year |
|
|

| i think they might be using to teach new drivers how to drive a bus |

| thats right it is ually an L reg that does that run i think |
|
|

| Grrrr.... I was on this bus. One was on the 262 route and it was soooo old it took for ever to get to Buchanan Bus station especially when I was going to Edinbrugh! |
|
|
|---|
| The 262 route ? going to glasgow?
Are you talking about the First Glasgow 262 that comes from Parkhead or does Stagecoach run a 262? |
|
|
|---|
| Only First run the 262 and it was probably an L reg B6 at Parkhead for the 32/33 routes which somehow made it onto the 262. |

| The guys right Its PCV D+E
It tells you in the books you get with your licence |
|
|
|---|
| well i dont have a bus licence so i wouldnt know |
|
|
|---|
| A licence is a licence you only get one ! |
|
|
|---|
| According to a DVLA leaflet, you just need a standard bus (cat. D) licence.
It's illegal to carry passengers in a trailer therefore the back end isn't a trailer. |
|
|
|---|
| i agree they are just like trains with a carriage on them |
|
|
|---|
| The licence you need depends on the weight of the trailer. If the trailer is less than 750kg, you can get by on a normal Cat D. However, if the trailer is more than 750kg, you need a Cat D + E licence. |
|
|
|---|
| I am an Ex-Bus driver. You only need cat D on your licence. It's not classed as a trailer because it can't be disconnected without the use of special tools and passengers can pass from one end to the other without hinderence. Anyone that says you need a HGV licence or D+E is talking out their a**e |

| Hi Glen
Jut for you information these buses were not Marshall Darts they were actually MAN Marshalls which are now defunct.
The Marshall Dart, i believe was made after MAN stopped providing Marshall with the engine and chassis, hence the reason they look so alike.
Marshalls went bust and MCV bought the rights to the Marsahll Capital bodwork.
Hope this is of help to you. |

| Very good website first time visiting this website really great pictures of the Stagecoach Fife buses so i agree with the comment above try your best and get some more great pictures of buses in Dunfermline keep up the good work |
|
|
|---|
| they can also take wheel chairs i have never seen it in action although i have traviled on them quite a bit.
they are nice and warm in the winter (sometimes a bit to warm) |
|
|
|---|
| I have seen them in action alisdair it takes a while to get the wheel chair on though really nice buses too mate |
|
|
|---|
| i read in a newspaper in dunfermline one day that a woman wanted to catch the X26 to Kircaldy for a trip
Now this woman was in a wheel chair so she couldnt get it on a normal high floor bus.
The bus was advertised to be one of thouse but there was a problum with it and it had to be returned to the depot.
A high floored bus was the only replacement they could provide.
So she had to get out of her wheel chair and climb up the stairs and very uncomfortabley struggle up the steps.
These things happen but i think she made a complaint about the first driver who didnt know how to work the wheel chair equipment as the one going there was i think one of thouse.

it could have come from anyone of thouse. |

| have you ever driven a bus before |
|
|
|---|
| No if you are meaning me cause i am only 19 years old |
|
|
|---|
| i can drive then either mate i am only 20 |
|
|
|---|
| You only have to be 18 to drive a bus but do you not ? |
|
|
|---|
| You can drive a bus from the age of 18 but I'm sure that there are certain restrictions until you reach 21. |
|
|
|---|
| on private land you can drive it form 17 as far as i am aware but if you want a job with a bus company you need to be 21 |
|
|
|---|
| sorry Craig yes i was meaning you mate |
|
|
|---|
| You do not have to be 21 to get a job with a company its 18 |
|
|
|---|
| You can work with a bus company driving when your 18 as long as your route does not take you more than 30 MILES from your depot. This restriction is uplifted when you reach a certain age, not sure what age it is though... |
|
|
|---|
| Its 21 and i didn't know that i thought you could drive anywhere at any age |
|
|
|---|
| well as a bus driver all i can say is that it is 21 and no earlier. you can work for the company but you cant drive them until that age. and these new coaches are the best ones we have ever bought i have been drivin for 19 years and these are the rolls royce of buses i find. |
|
|
|---|
| Gary who do you drive for like |
|
|
|---|
| Actually Gary its 18 think i should know as i'm just about to start with First at Blantyre depot. 21 is when the 30 mile radius restriction is uplifted |
|
|
|---|
| do you drive for Stagecoach Gary?
if so what depot do you operate from? |
|
|
|---|
| A new forth crossing trialling on 16th till the 28th july Kirkcaldy to Portobello every 20 minutes hovercraft crossing
x90 and x91 will operate hourly from Kirkcaldy and Portobello shuttle bus service.
in Kirkcaldy behind thie Stagecoach garage on the Esplanade
In Portobello it landing location is just off Seafild road behind the Lotian Bus Depot. Go to stagecoachbus.com for pictures and for ticket and fare prices |

|

| hovercraft that should be faster than going by road |

| i operate from the depot in Elgin which was Bluebird but now Stagecoach |
|
|

| cheers gary thought you operated from Dunfermline depot thought i mayhave been on your bus |
|
|
|---|
| i have been all over the place with this company but iam settled fine in Elgin but you may have been i have been a few times to Dunfermline so you might of been. iam the best driver they have ....... well i think!!!! |
|
|
|---|
| i am sure you are i tend to use the D7 and the 78 (old 14) routes a lot i do use the 55 or X54 if i fancy a trip |
|
|
|---|
| if i was to join First or Stagecoach then they would only give me a run like the D7 to do then when i got some exprence driving a bus i could take a 78 or something like that.
Only if i had been with them for a while would i get the X24 or one of thouse routes to do. |
|
|
|---|
| i started Driving for stagecoach when i was 19, you can drive any bus as long as it is within the 30 mile distance as you cannot do Tachograph (EU) work until you are 21, after this you can do anything |
|
|
|---|
| Hi Scott what runs do you normaly do and what depot do you come from |
|
|
|---|
| Come from Perth Depot, do all town runs, the only 3 things i can't do are Megabus work, St Fillans runs and Aberfeldy runs, all others are fine. and you can drive any bus just as long as it's not breaking your restrictions |

| now thats a rare sight there is one at the Falkirk depot it does the X19 route quite a lot.

I would like to know that myself i saw a photo of one on the internet somewhere.

|
|
|

| yes i incorrectly spelled it, i ment Leyland |
|
|

| no they use a plaxton paramolint for the x19 or a volvo olypmain. |
|
|
|---|
| they maby used one of the tigers on the x19 once or twice but they mostly use a volvo olypmain to do the x19 and sometimes they use a plaxton paramolint but very little u see a plaxton paramolint on the x19 |

| Hey, Can you tell my why this bus has stagecoach seating but yet has a Parks Registration?
Are they renting it from stagecoach or something?
|
|
|
|---|
| i dont know mate
what i do know is that citylink get some of there coaches hired in from companys like Parks they even use Rennies from Dunfermline.
As i saw a rennies marked coach with a citylink banner on it going on the 909 route to Edinburgh about 4 weeks ago |
|
|
|---|
| Yeah I also wondered about that because it was stagecoach who ordered the Triple axle coaches. I saw a Red Lion of Blantyre coach on the 900 about 5 weeks ago. |
|
|
|---|
| Parks of Hamilton have still got the bus from Rennies of Dunfermline |
|
|
|---|
| are they keeping it or what |
|
|
|---|
| Could not tell you because both Rennies Of Dunferfmline and Parks of Hamilton use it i will try and find out for you think its still on loan dont know |
|
|
|---|
| RE first question: Stagecoach and Parks seem to work very closely due to the citylink/megabus venture which makes me wonder if stagecoach own or have shares in Parks. They do hav some MAN double deckers in Megabus livery but with Parks legal lettering. And megabus is 'brought to you by stagecoach' |
|
|
|---|
| i dont think the double decker coaches are very comfortable i had to sit in one from Dundee to Aberdeen wehn i went on Holiday last year |
|
|
|---|
| I was just looking on another gallery and it shows a parks bus in stagecoach livery. |
|
|
|---|
| dont know why that is unless parks had lent a coach to Stagecoach |
|
|
|---|
| What pish is this?? Parks haven't loaned vehicles to Rennies or vice-versa. Rennies have 2 LSK reg coaches that have never had anything to do with Parks. In fact the reg nos came from Stagecoach. Besides which, 1993 registered Jonckheeres are a bit long in the tooth for Parks nowadays. |
|
|
|---|
| Parks are subbies for the 900 and parks own the dundee, perth, inverness and aberdeen runs. stagecoach were forced to sell them the runs because the competition commision deemed there to be a monopoly. Stagecoach had too much of scotland to themselfs |

| The driver of this bus is a maniac. This is his steady bus and is just typical of him to park in the middle of the road to prevent other buses passing him. He especially hates Hutchison buses and will do anything to get past them. And I'm not just imagining things or making them up, as I am a Hutchison driver and witnessed his antics in person. |

| Mckindless is probably the worst bus company in the UK. they operate some dreadful buses... even the new ones. Look at what types of buses they use on the 41 - Enviro 200s.

|

| Are the all the 56 plates leased or are they owned. The BMCs are just horrible... |
|
|
|---|
| They are bought. The first buses McKindless has ever bought new |
|
|
|---|
| Wish they would throw some of them onto the 67! I could've sworn the bus I got on the other day only had two functioning wheels! |
|
|
|---|
| There's nothing wrong with the Mckindless buses, well maybe just some! They seem to like their darts - i noticed that they have recieved some 'V' Reg ones (the new 'V' reg that is). It looks longer than the rest - seen it in Hamilton on Tuesday - it was on the 41. |
|
|
|---|
| Some are alright but you have to admit that almost 80% of his buses are scrap. He has some ok buses like the new ones and his alx 200 some of his optare excels and mayebe 1 of his darts R179VLA but you realy have to admit that he has to reinvest |
|
|
|---|
| what make is this bus it looks like a merc or optare |
|
|
|---|
| Its a BMC think its a Falcon |
|
|
|---|
| Its a King Long... the others 56 plates are Falcons |
|
|
|---|
| They are very nices the King Longs - the Falcons are just, to be blunt, shit lol |
|
|
|---|
| i guess their called that becuase of thier length |
|
|

| The B6BLE ALX200s came from Burnley & Pendle. Apparantly they were suffering from body rot and thats why Burnley got rid of them. |
|
|
|---|
| Ha - they'll be rotting even more now that they have a new home with mckindless! |
|
|
|---|
| I havn't seen this on the road for a while whats happened to it |
|
|
|---|
| probably been repossessed haha |
|
|
|---|
| Yeah lol either that or there time is up and they have started pulling them apart |
|
|
|---|
| but the bus isnt even a year old |
|
|

| This has been returned to the dealer. Thats why no-ones seen it in a while |
|

| i am a driver for mckindless and the bmcs r freezing
in winter no heating what so ever the other buses
r just as bad and the 41 is a shit run u can never
get a break and they wans fae lanark r ignorent as
fuck the othe runs r just pish the 9 n the 56 r fou all
the bawbags that work way us lol get it rite up ye's
|
|
|
|---|
| mckindless are a terrible company to work for i should
know i worked way them for years the runs are
illegal you dont get a break and they make you work
12 hours without a legal break and got the cheek to
take an hours break from your pay the buses are
freezing in winter and you go home feeling like a
frozen snotter and theres to many sookie arses that
work for them youve no chance of a carear what so
ever dont go n work way them its a waste of time |

| i think you can get prams on them maybe, i could be wrong |
|
|

| Nah you can't.
It's just full of seats on those buses I think.
Also.
From time-to-time they are used for the X25 service to Cumbernauld, I guess if one of the bluebird buses breaks down, they use them. |

| Was on this bus yesterday on the X10. Its such a smooth ride you don't feel a bump. The inside is immaculate. I hope First do it justice when it gets repainted and i hope they continue to take care of it.
Its a lovely big bus and a pleasure to be on |
|
|
|---|
| The fact you can use the all day ticket on these and with services to Larkhall makes the £3 more worth it now. I think this will be a fresh start for First and they'll continue to offer the same high standard as Hutchison did and hopefully improve the rest of the fleet. |
|

| Hve these been painted yet? |

| As far as ive been told the four hutchisons coaches have been sold according to "buses magazine" lol
Anyone shed some light? |
