After a technical mishap that caused the transfer of the 51 over to [C] and the addition of the final Presidents of the batch, along with the creation of the route 7 to Newton Mearns to be erased, we jump in with an overview of what got erased. This week we move the 51 over to Clydebank to run it with VP-type vehicles, launch the new route 7 between Glasgow and Newton Mearns to use some of the now-excess DAs at PO, and 2 new local services between Glasgow Airport, Paisley, Barrhead, and Auchenback and Neilston. The routing of these new services also lays the groundwork for the 100 to be reworked in the future.

It's finally time to extend service out to Havant, but the game has other things in mind. Before we can extend the service, we have to deal with a recall of the WV-type, for the second time in the series. In order to help with the recall, we install both the route 10 to Havant as well as the route 3 serving South Pier and Tipner Park & Ride via both ends of the City Centre. Together these route...

In recent times the 473 has had one of the more interesting allocations of all the routes departing from Stratford Bus Station. Under Stagecoach it was fairly common to see one of the First Capital-era B9TLs plying the route alongside the ex-Tower Transit Micro Hybrid StreetDecks. After Go-Ahead won the route last year, the 473 (and briefly the 262) gained the B9TLs new for the 476, along with ...

We've had a task to cover 20% of Erskine in our side bar for most of the series at this point, and it's about time I did something about it. So in the face of a massive recall covering almost all of our VW-Class vehicles, lets launch the new 481 running between Renfrew and Erskine's 2 termini. Additionally, we will build an extension to the garage at East Kilbride and purchase one final batch o...

We've been serving Fareham since the first Greenway services, and while the intensity of service to Fareham has grown, it still lacks a useable local network. This week, we fix that by launching 5 new local services and preparing an additional regional service, linking Fareham with Funtley, Knowle, Wickham, Shirrell Heath, Swanmore, and Bishop's Waltham every 30 minutes. The local routes are nu...

London bus route 347 was an oddity of the network, the least frequent of all of the regular bus routes in London. The 347 operated during Shopping Hours (10am-4pm) every 2 hours between Romford and Ockendon. Operated out of Arriva's GY (Grays) garage with a single Enviro200-bodied ADL Dart, the route passes through Gallow's Corner and Upminster before emerging into rural essex and passing throu...

Talks between National Busways and TransBus have finally concluded, and National Busways West Scotland are the first sector to launch the Enviro500 outside of Hong Kong. The new TT-Type make their UK debut on the route 11 between Renfrew and Swinton via Central Glasgow and Lightburn Hospital. The choice of Enviro500s for the 11 was driven by the narrow roads in Swinton, where the lack of Rear-W...

This week we return to the Island to fill what remains as the largest gap in the network, looking East from Newport towards Shanklin and Sandown. To close the gap, we launch 3 new services, the 10 and 15 are all-new routings heading directly to Sandown and Shanklin respectively, and the 49 serves Merstone and follows the 4, then the 9 into Shanklin, where it runs via Lake to terminate in Sandow...

Since 2016, the route 108 in East London has been operated by a fleet of very smart Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaros cascaded from the ex-Red Arrow routes 507 and 521. New in 2009, these buses are now 16 years old and their replacement is long overdue. The 108 was meant to have been operated with Enviro200EV-bodied BYD D9URs from 2023 following the elimination of the ex-Red Arrow routes they were use...

Due to concerns of overcrowding on the recently launched route 150 in Clydebank, we have worked with our competitor QBus/Avondale to obtain on a temporary basis an Optare Excel. XL0 will be with us for 2 weeks before being returned to QBus/Avondale and a decision made as to whether we purchase a fleet of them to deploy on local services out of C. Additionally, we have chosen to use a fleet of 1...

With demand for the 1A/1C service in Portsmouth already running very high, it's time to upgrade the provision for them. While South Coast Busways will keep the service frequency the same, they will be upgrading the vehicles used from the current single-deck VW-type to the double-deck WV-type. Alongside the new fleet, the image of the service is being brought in line with its importance to the c...

It's episode 50 of the South Coast series, and we've come a long way from the early days with our small operation of just a few local services in Newport, down on the Isle of Wight. We rarely return now that the island is well covered in our buses. This week, we make no fewer than 5 additions to the networks in Portsmouth and Gosport. In Portsmouth, it's the turn of the University of Portsmouth...

Eastleigh is currently served only by the 111. There is a route 2 between Southampton and Eastleigh in situ, which was put in place last week, but it wasn't activated as the fleet for that route was put to work on the 5 to help with the recall of the WV type vehicles at SC. This week, we will activate the route 2, as well as further expanding the network around Eastleigh, before making a small ...
