Hi Pat, Thanks for your comments. That bus is sadly now scrapped as are most of the Volvo city buses. Are you the same Pat Quinn from Easterhouse by any chance?

It came from busaways to Stagecoach Glasgow (MagicBus) then went to Kelvin Central Buses when they bought MagicBus from Stagecoach and is now with First Glasgow (No1) at Scoutstoun Depot

The M-PRS batch of ps type B10M buses were bought for stagecoach glasgow brand new,however they never ran with stagecoach as this company at the time took a 20 per cent share in SB Holdings,therefore the buses ran in stagecoach livery with red Kelvin fronts whom by that time were part of the SB group.These buses were delivered to Larkfield bus works from new ,i actually managed to get a drive at one before going into service

[#8529921] 2006-06-08 17:26:08 Left by (#0) Reply
They are actually Volvo B7L Tri Axles.
[#8578716] 2006-11-09 18:29:45 Left by Dave (#0) Reply
Correct - the B7TL is used in the Gemini deckers. The T states a transverse engine (across the width of the chassis). The Nordics have longitudinal engines hence the large rear overhang
[#8595094] 2007-01-04 18:51:51 Left by Colin (First Glasgow Driver) (#0) Reply
The engine is not longitudinal, the chassis is the tri-axle version of the Volvo B7L and has a shower cubicle engine.

Give it a cleanup, add new lights, replace windows, replace engine, add modern internal features and rethink livery. easy as 1+2-3x4/5(6-7)x8x9+10.7734 etc etc...

It just shows of how an old bus is still running, if it is ok mechanical wise there is no need to change parts on it.

I take it none of you have used the McKindless buses between the Hamilton, wishaw, Motherwell and Shotts area? They are all very new, clean and good looking. McKindless is a wishaw company afterall not a Glasgow one ;)
