Photo (not mine): flic.kr/p/2mzjmdcThe TC9 is normally a 31-35 seater midicoach. The Mercedes offering are based on the Atego truck chassis and not that well liked from what I heard. The full sized Tourismo and mini-coach Sprinter seem to be received better.

First Glasgow's order for 22 BYD/ADL Enviro200 EV is now starting to arrive, those seen so far have LG71 DL* registrations starting with DLF (64101). They are based at the huge Caledonia depot which is being equipped with electric chargers. 126 electric buses in total have been ordered. Updated list: 64101 - LG71 DLF 64102 - LG71 DLJ 64103 - LG71 DLK 64104 - LG71 DLN64105 - LG71 DLO 64106 - LG71 DLU64107 - LG71 DLV 64108 - LG71 DLX64109-64122 are still unregistered.

There are 55 on order. The first 23 (I5000-I5022) have gone to Inchinnan Depot to convert route 26 to electric operation (as well as its route number tying in nicely with the COP26 summit title, the route passes in sight of the conference venue). The next 16 are now in the course of delivery, these are going to Johnstone Depot for the busy 38 route (Glasgow-Johnstone) so the fleet numbers have a J prefix. J5022 - SG71 OTH J5023 - SG71 OTJ J5024 - SG71 OTK J5025 - SG71 OTL J5026 - SG71 OTM J5027 - SG71 OTN J5028 - SG71 OTP J5029 - SG71 OTR J5030 - SG71 OTS J5031 - SG71 OTT J5032 - SG71 OTU J5033 - SG71 OTV J5034 - SG71 OTW J5035 - SG71 OTX J5036 - SG71 OTY J5037 - SG71 OTZ Courtesy of Bus News - week 16-10-21 (LondonsTransport Google group)
