Mon-Fri it has earlier services. Saturday buses start very late.

I have a fleet list which was updated last month I think and it says that SC M&SL has quite a few buses which are sat in depots doing nothing. IT says 3 Eclipse (21236, 21252 and 21271) and the Enviro200 shorts (36071 & 36072) are also sat around. If this is the case, cant the Enviro200 shorts do 6s and Eclipse bump the X2 and 36 up? It also says there are a few flowline around. If the fleetlist is correct, why cant SC put these buses into good use. Old, yes, but they can still earn money. Surely any money is better than none.

For additional SC golds, cant they put non gold buses on and specify in the timetable that Gold buses will not be used like it does in the BP timetable. There has to be some buses somewhere that can be used.

Something else, can Gillmoss take 2 golds and then RF has space for 2 more buses. It is a little bit of dead millage. RF are like the operating centre still for them and they can do the recovery and then RF can just send another bus up there but the difference is that RF will have more space. Same with the 471/2 as that will free up a little bit of space.
