Coaching Revolution (20812)
Four years ago First Scotland undertook significant changes to the Aberdeen coaching unit, disposing of its two most modern vehicles, scaling back work and removing the coach leadership. It was followed by the loss of a number of key contracts.
Fast forward to 2021 and there is a realisation in this changing world that the coaching operation can be an asset rather than a non core part of the business.
It is proposed that the Aberdeen fleet will be modernised by quality second hand coaches, given a new brand name that moves away from using the First name and is then expanded to cover other Scottish depots.
One of the coaches proposed to stay is the unique Sunsundeigo bodied Volvo B9R, 20812. It was a favourite in the coach fleet here bein LG the only coach to remain in use during lockdown. Seen here today parked up between contracts at Footdee.
