First Greater Glasgow

Good to see the E400 low heights back in Glasgow and back on the 6, which they are intended for.

The 6 has badly needed the extra capacity. The reliability of the 6 can lead to gaps and then the E300s are often standing.

44456 entered service yesterday, was able to catch it today.

Also I want to state that 44457 hasn’t entered service yet, as it’s ticket machine was being used for an E200EV for two days.

Horrid buses to travel on

’It’ doesn’t really have a ticket machine. ETM’s can be moved between buses and the associated fleet number easily changed by scrolling through the menu (this can be a driver or supervisor function depending on set-up)

Yeah, one of the panels on it was held up by loose screws.

I remember these were on the sunday 31 for a short while around 7 years ago.

I thought Glasgow’s Ex-London batch arrived in 2022 and entered service in 2023? With the former Welsh ones arriving just at the start of this year.

These weren't here 7 years ago, they where bought end of 2021 and sat around until Spring 2022

Perhaps the ex Berkshire ones?

There was ones new in 2009 for Lanarkshire services then shifted away quick. A few came back to caley.

Sampled one of the new Airport Wright buses. Seats are a more comfortable design than on E400MMC and Lothian examples. No tables or single seats although I'm not missing those.

There's only 2 of that batch here and one is in Dumbarton and one in Blantyre, they're a different length to the ones that are ex London United.

Was at Dumbarton. Pretty sure it’s just been sat at Caley for a bit now in the new livery.

HY09 AZB 69386 is back at Caley from it's loan spell at Overtown, this was due to 69366 YJ08 XYE being off for some minor repairs

What type of bus is that?

Street lite, should be put straight into the river!

2 other buses have also transferred. Wonder what the reason is?

Aberdeen are losing all their Streetlites. It is probably an age related thing, as these were Aberdeen's newest diesel buses.

The tables have well and truly turned. Now we’re getting Aberdeen’s hand me downs!

Probably part of the wider standardisation policy within FirstGroup, too - they've been trying to reduce the number of different types at depots/divisions for a while now, and it's clear that the Enviro 300 will suit the needs of single-deck work at Aberdeen now.

Presumably this will also mean that some routes will be converted to double-deck, at least partially, as a result?
