Over the years I have read many anti NX comments from the scots I guess a fair few single malt whiskey bottles will be drunk over the coming days.
2021 a fresh start I wish you all merry Christmas and a happy new year.

  I guess it is a logical move to sell off a "distant outpost" .     The next question will be [ maybe already answered ] ,is it a move to raise capital or to invest in expansion nearer to home ??  Lets see what the coming weeks bring.
I guess we shall

If McGills have the intention of buying the fleets of NX, maybe NX could throw the Solos and 800 as part of the package?

What makes you think McGill's, who have one of the youngest fleets in the whole UK, would want these?

Why not? They got loads of their own solos and few of them are slightly older than the 323-5. So, it would be a use for them temporarily.

Why would they be any use? They have enough solos for their own service and certainly don't need any for Dundee

I don't know, maybe replace the old ones or use the parts in their other depots, or is it better to be unused and rot at Miller St?

Have McGills said if they will be retaining the Xplore Dundee name or will they rebrand everything as McGills. I'm not from Dundee so I don't know if Xplore have a good reputation in the area.
