Probably the wrong sticker on it. I mind a B9TL (08 plate I think) many years ago having a Euro 5 sticker on it when that whole batch was Euro 4.
No sorry Jordan, the X37 does follow the same route as X36 from Cumbernauld town centre to Glasgow. l last drove X37 at the beginning of February and it hasn’t changed since then. Checked it on tracker too .They didn't, the map is accurate... The X36 goes direct down the M80 while the X37 goes via the A80 / Cumbernauld Road.
It seems FSE have registered the service incorrectly, as it's still registered to operate via Moodiesburn and Muirhead which is likely why the Glasgow produced map has it going that way.No sorry Jordan X37 does follow the same route as X37 from Cumbernauld town centre to Glasgow , l last drove x37 beginning of feb and it hasn’t changed since then.

That should have read x37 follows same as x36 ,
2 Overtown Streetlites have already been done.I wonder if the plan is to upgrade Lanarkshire’s E300s and Streetlites considering they enter the LEZ zone when covering at the weekend and on the odd occasion in place of an E200MMC.
You mean All this time has went by and nobody has noticed , surely not . Well there definitely isn’t any times along the moodiesburn muirhead etc bit on traveline etc .

If I have my figures right, the funding for was: - Bear 1 = 40 vehicles, Bear 3 = 165 vehicles, total 205 Euro 6 upgrades, so would assume: -I wonder if the plan is to upgrade Lanarkshire’s E300s and Streetlites considering they enter the LEZ zone when covering at the weekend and on the odd occasion in place of an E200MMC.
Right I get what you mean the app dosent show the x37 through muirhead etc as in the bus stops but the journey planner somehow does .I can assure you though it dosentSeems so... I just checked Travelline and it still has the X37 going via Moodiesburn and Muirhead.
Yeah i'm not disagreeing, i looked at the tracker myself at the time and watched 65718 on the X37 go direct up the M80. It's odd that it's been registered wrong and no one has noticed yet.Right I get what you mean the app dosent show the x37 through muirhead etc as in the bus stops but the journey planner somehow does .I can assure you though it dosent
The councils "spaces for people" must be destroying the bus service. George Square/St Vincent Place was at a standstill all day today, with only 1 Lane now available and 2 sides of George Square closed. I saw an 18 take 15 minutes from the City Chambers to West Nile St. Still no Northbound access to the bus station in North Hanover St either.Buses getting busier now. Also becoming more unreliable. Noticed a few Bus Full 34A services showing bus full around 8am this morning.
I'm not long home after getting a 6 from Glassford Street. Once it gets onto Hope Street it's fine but getting there really isn't fine.The councils "spaces for people" must be destroying the bus service.

It obviously depends on the time of Day. Went to town today on an on time one. With no more than 10 passengers. The one on the way back was nor really any different.I'm not long home after getting a 6 from Glassford Street. Once it gets onto Hope Street it's fine but getting there really isn't fine.
On another point regarding buses being full and late the 1s are like pre-Covid for reliability already. It seems to be Dumbarton to Clydebank in particular that's horrendous for them ending up late. Multiple of them ending up 30/35 mins late well before peak times.
I know Glasgow Road and the A82 can be bad but when it's constantly the same times every day during the week and it's been going on a long time it makes me think it's just the timetable in general. It's not even just a peak time thing either. In fact if anything they are more reliable at peaks and horrendous off peak. Must be a struggle for people who need a specific one and can't get a 1C which seems to be the only reliable service out of all of them.
Not too bad, it seems to hit 1:30/2pm towards the City Centre then they're all late or at the very least it's the majority of them from Clydebank. It's been a thing for about 2/3 years from what I remember. I'm quite lucky that I can get the 1C but relying on specific ones must be an absolute nightmare.It obviously depends on the time of Day.

While in town I was around St Vincent Street with no signs of any hold ups.
Is that why they’ve closed off two sides of George Square?The councils "spaces for people" must be destroying the bus service.

If the restrictions on St Vincent Street are going to be long term. It would be a simple change to follow the 75 route to Hope Street after crossing the Clyde Northbound via Howard Street.Not too bad, it seems to hit 1:30/2pm towards the City Centre then they're all late or at the very least it's the majority of them from Clydebank.

The 18 used to go via Howard St too. Traffic through St Vincent St used to bad before it was changed. Traffic Lights after traffic lights also cause issues.If the restrictions on St Vincent Street are going to be long term.

It would mean missing out a few stops but these could be covered on the new route.
Think it was answered a few weeks back , why its still running through the City.Does anyone know if the East Kilbride section on the 6 sees good numbers? Then on the other side all the way to Clydebank?
I’ve always wondered why they’ve kept the route length as it is for so long when many other routes were cut in half. They also ordered low height buses specifically for the route but in recent years I’ve noticed more singles. Any ideas?
It's really hit or miss at the Clydebank end. Sometimes it's incredibly dead but then the school loads from Botanic Gardens to Clydebank help it massivelyDoes anyone know if the East Kilbride section on the 6 sees good numbers? Then on the other side all the way to Clydebank?

It appears that SO68 HFM 34368 has been scrapped, it is on a Facebook group.
I've put the link to the group below.
My apologies I shall remove the link.If you're going to post a link to a private Facebook group, please make this clear as it will be completely inaccessible to anyone without a Facebook account (or anyone who does have one but doesn't necessarily want to join the group in order to see it).
The relevant details should be quoted here anyway, but as it's a private group permission should be sought first.
I always thought due to its age they’d have completely rebuilt it. Glasgow was plagued by quite a few fires in recent years. They’ve lost quite a few buses.
Aye. If the damage to critical structrual (body and chassis/underframe) elements is severe enough, the vehicle's age becomes irrelevent and the overall more cost-effective/practical option is to write it off and, if applicable, order a brand-new vehicle.Possibly depending on the damage incurred, it might not have been viable and cheaper to simply order a new one.
