Managed to get a fairly reasonable look at the NX fleet in Dundee on a recent trip up there.
Something I hadn't really managed on previous trips up to Fife and Angus.
The NX logos seem to have all gone, with the 'Xplore Dundee' vinyls attached.
Some vehicles seemed to have the new livery. Others didn't. Those in the old livery, still had the National Express logo markings visible from the old vinyls.
The fleet seemed fairly modern and unremarkable, although the Presidents in the fleet have 'round' headlights, similar to Alexander Alx vehicles.
I hadn't noticed this previously.
Managed to catch a glimpse of their Eclipses. Several have famous names attached to them, including 'Lorraine Kelly'.
Stagecoach had a smaller presence. Although they seemed to have some intercity work floating about

I managed to get a some photos of the new livery and a selection of other NX Dundee buses including the Lorraine Kelly. Examples in the link below.

While I was in Arbroath and Dundee I also noticed that Stagecoach have started to use bus conductors on their Taylink 73 service.

Another £3m Scottish Green Bus Fund
Operators are now being invited to bid for the latest round of Scottish Green Bus Fund (SGBF). A further £3m is being made available from this year’s Future Transport Fund as part of the Scottish Government’s commitment to promoting Low Carbon Vehicles. Over the past five rounds of SGBF funding, Transport Scotland has provided grant funding totalling almost £13m, enabling 269 new low carbon emission buses to be introduced in Scotland by March 2016.
First in Scotland were among the operators to apply for SGBF grants and last year received total grant funding of £920,000 supporting the purchase of 75 new vehicles.
Visit www.transportscotland.gov.uk/public-transport/ scottish-green-bus-fund for further details on the SGBF and application forms.
Info from the Bus and Coach weekly.
Please move if needed.
