In general, I tend to update this fleetlist roughly monthly, after Buses magazine and the PSV Circle News Sheet. Any corrections or comments are welcome - you can email me at . When I do these updates, I'll also put in any other things I've spotted, or heard about (only reliable information), so sometimes this list might be a wee bit ahead of Buses or the PSV Circle News Sheet.

This fleetlist was updated on 3/9/19 with Buses September 2019 and the August 2019 PSV Circle News Sheet.

Note:

Buses are arranged in First national fleet number order, so artics come first, then coaches, then double decks, then midibuses, then minibuses, then single decks.

Ancillaries all come at the end regardless of whether they are numbered in the 9xxxx series or not.

This is a bus spot. This shows I have spotted the bus at some point over its life.

F/no.

These are the 5-digit First "asset numbers" and are shown in bold, unless they are definitely not carried on the vehicle.

Local no.

These are the alphanumeric traditional Glasgow fleetnumbers which many vehicles retain "on paper", although they are no longer allocated to new arrivals.

A star in this column indicates that the bus is part of the "Star Bus" anti-vandalism idea. The theory is that eventually the whole fleet will be Star buses. A bus is cleared of all vandalism and accident damage. It then has gold stars stuck on either side of the destination box, and should be thoroughly cleaned and de-vandalised on return to the depot.

Dep.

This is usually the vehicle allocation, but occasionally its geographic location for things like reserve or withdrawn vehicles.

1 letter depot codes indicate First Glasgow (No.1) depots. 2 letter depot codes indicate First Glasgow (No.2) depots. Depot codes are as follows:

BL	Blantyre
C	Caledonia
DB	Dumbarton
OV	Overtown
S	Scotstoun

If a bus is allocated to the reserve fleet, or withdrawn, its last known location is given with a status code in brackets:

(a)	Ancillary vehicle
(p)	Preserved
(po)	Privately owned vehicle garaged in the depot indicated.
(r)	Reserve
(s)	Being cannibalised for spares
(t)	Driver Trainer
(u)	Unallocated
(w)	Withdrawn

Seating

I have followed the system used by the PSV Circle with the following idiosyncrasies:

I don't distinguish between Partial and Full Open Top vehicles; all of them are O.

Express-type individual seating is denoted by E.

Recovery vehicles and vans are not buses hence R is used instead of B.

Liv.

Livery codes are as follows.

ADV	Advert	Overall advert which may be any colour. What the advert is for is shown in the R/B column.
FGA	Airport Express	Two-tone purple with "Glasgow Airport Express" branding and white First fleetnames.

Where a vehicle carries an overall advert (denoted by ADV in the livery column), or a full side advert (denoted by ½ before the livery worn by the rest of the bus), the route branding column carries a note of what the advert is for.

Notes

DT indicates a driver trainer.

PO indicates a privately owned bus stored on FG premises. Where this is a former First Glasgow vehicle, its old fleetnumber is still shown.

The vehicle history is then given, starting with the most recent.

Previous registrations are noted at the end. Renumberings are noted at the appropriate point in the vehicle's history.
