Scotland Bus Operations
(03 Jan 2021, 9:39 am)IRHardy NatEx have not sold the buses to McGills, they have leased all the Dundee allocated buses (except for 3 buses) to McGills for a period of "X" (it has not been announced how long "X" will be though). First did the same at Bolton when that depot was sold to Rotala and most of the buses have now been returned to First.The lease of the buses from NX to McGills is for 10 years so it is very doubtful that any of the Dundee fleet will operate for NXWM as 2021 plus 10 is 2031 and considering that NXWM has a target to be an all zero emission fleet by 2030.
Once McGills have managed to obtain replacement buses then the current Dundee vehicles will be returned to their owner NatEx, and will be used in the West Midlands, some will replace older vehicles in the NXWM fleet. So the E400MMCs will be back with NatEx soon.
