    Megabus - double decker vehicles

    Yes, both vehicles feel quite cramped but the Interdeck you feel especially squished in. You sit very low, effectively on the floor and quite far back and combined with the height of the dashboard the view is quite narrow, and is very bad for steaming up. You can't see the reversing lights in...

    I think the cascaded coaches were Elite B9's from Kent, unsure what the plan for them is now or when the NX contracts down there finish. I thought they were destined for Rennies. 537** are B9 540** are B12 541** are B13 542** and 543** are B11.

    I think 2 batches were initially due, Some tri axle and others of the single axle variety which were earmarked for Dunfermline but this appears to have changed. I thought all new Volvo coaches were either B8/11 with the B13 being discontinued with the introduction of Euro 6?

No B7's have been withdrawn. The current coaches at Dunfermline are 53286/8/90/1/2/6...

    2 new 17 plate Volvo 400MMC deckers delivered to Dunfermline depot today. Rumour going around the current short working X59's will extend to Perth instead of the X55. Apparently Leopards are due for the X55 in the Autumn with new 200MMC's for the increased airport service imminent.

    Wellwood has been sold for years, but with the many recent sinkholes appearing in adjacent fields I'm not so sure they are in a rush to build houses, the latest and largest one having only finally been filled in last month. There has been a lot of theft/vandalism to the depot building at...
