Stagecoach / Re: Stagecoach Rugby Garage El...

Last post by Sandy Lane - Yesterday at 09:31:08 PM

I don't have any inside knowledge, but I understand four Midlands (Rugby?) Yutongs are temporarily running for Stagecoach West Scotland until their intended garage is ready for electrics.

Thks and it does make sense to use them and not park them up.
Looking at bustimes there are 4 Yutong E12's at Mackinlay Place garage and are all seem to be working on the 4 Kilwinning /Ayr - Glasgow route this morning. No's 73053 - 73056.

Yutong E12's 73053 - 73056 are no longer in Scotland. Now at Stockton in the NE according to bustimes.

Does anyone know if the frequency for the 17/17A will change?

I'm wondering that because at the moment the 17 is every 8 minutes (every 9 minutes on Saturdays), it normally reduces to every 9 minutes in the summer school holidays, so I would be surprised if there is a combined frequency of the 17 and 17A is every 7/8 minutes until at least September, but more likely to be every 10 minutes for the summer school holidays

They normally revert to the old timetables at the end of September when the universities return. They have done the last few years anyway

Ok, thanks - I hope that's the case. I can understand that with the X21/22 but didn't think the 23/24 and 94/95 would be impacted much by university passengers. 

The 23/24 in the evening rush hour are unpleasantly full much of the time on these reduced summer timetables.

Not 20th July changes as such, but timetables from 31st August, when those services which had summer reductions supposedly revert to their normal frequencies, are available on the TfWM website.

Disappointingly these appear to show that the 23/24, and 94/95 for that matter will keep their reduced 12 minute / 6 minute combined frequencies after schools return from summer holidays.
