First Glasgow Limited Alexander Dennis Enviro 400MMC
A scatter-gun approach…:
Although the application of the new FirstBus livery is now fairly common on the First Glasgow, what is less common is the fleetname. There is plenty of buses in the new livery style, with or without the additional lighter purple stripes but very few wear the new style fleetnames.
It’s odd. Some buses were repainted before the new style fleetname was launched and to be fair they wear the previous fleetname which suits the livery. But very few FiG buses wear the new style fleetnames. You’d think if you’d launched a rebrand you’d want your new livery out there complete so you can get it being seen. But no. So a lot of buses are running about with no fleetnames at all. Which looks somewhat unprofessional. Whereas in other First subsidiaries, the new fleetname is very evident. You’d think that when you’re going to trouble or repainting a bus, you’d finish it off by adding fleetnames.
It’s unclear what the issue for Glasgow is. Whether there’s a nationwide shortage of vinyls or a general cannot be bothered attitude is in place. Or maybe it’s being saved for a massive one-off launch. I’m not sure. But anyway…..the correct effect is detailed here as seen on 33208 (SK68LWW).
