Tayside Public Transport Limited (T/A Xplore Dundee) Mercedes-Benz Tourismo
Flixing rather than flying….
Xplore Dundee is unusual for a former municipal bus operation in that it runs an express service from Dundee to Edinburgh Airport, Scotland’s busiest and, by a country mile, worst airport. If you don’t understand why I dislike it, I feel it’s a shopping centre that planes land at. But I digress…
Anyway Xplore Dundee uses high specification coaches on the service, such as 632 (DXC330). But you’ll notice that this coach isn’t on this service. It’s actually on a Flixbus servive from Glasgow but at least it’s going through Dundee.
On an interesting side note, it was recently announced by Flixbus and McGill’s, the owners of Xplore Dundee, that they will be expanding their business partnership with an additional eiighteen coaches arriving to add to the seven existing coaches already used. The announcement didn’t specify what routes or whether it’ll be new routes or expansions of existing ones or even a combination of both. Of course with McGill’s now owning Midland Bluebird and First Scotland East, it gives them more bases that they can utilise to run routes from, particularly in Edinburgh.
