Am surprised no one has mentioned the cut backs that were made in the last changes especially at night on the 34

Hi - just want to ask how often double deckers appear on the 8, 90, 3 and 46 bus routes, and, if so, whether they show up on particular journeys. Thanks :)

Often see E400ev citys on the 46. The 3 used to get the odd decker bu seems to be back to single deck operation.

The 90 very rarely sees deckers. It tends to only really be E300s and E200EVs.

The 3 seems to get the odd Gemini or E400MMC from time to time. But I think it’s becoming less common since a lot of the Gemini have moved to Caledonia, and the rest of them are needed for the 6A (as well as spare for the 2 & 77).

I’m not saying it never happens but it’s rare. It may become more common now that these have all been returned from Aberdeen.
Yeah, but I’ve rarely seen a Geminis on the 90. IDK why?

There used to a decker that came out for the evening peak on the 90. Scotstoun has never had many decker's so are needed on other routes.

I'm trying to access this site to see if it's any good, but it appears I need a password? Does anyone have the password for this site?
One of the people connected with it said it should be back up later today as they are speeding it up by moving to a new host.

As someone who works with web development it appears they've bit off more than they can chew with this. bustimes is quite a large monolith of a program and simply forking it (taking the source code of the site and modifying it, as timesbus appears to be from my research) with little knowledge of its inner workings isn't really a sign of a stable project that the public can rely on to know when their bus will show up.
