Windscreen View | Route X10: Milgavie - Balfron

31/1/2022
Filmed onboard 36027 (SN05 HWV)
Possibly the first ever Windscreen View filmed in Scotland?
No backseat video of 36027 sadly because this section doesn’t permit for thrash (as you’ll see here), so this was going to be a windscreen view anyway. Second half does but had a slow driver after Balfron changeover and was busy with students from Balfron to Bulchyvie (it’s open to the public by the way)
X10 is quite scenic as you'll see but apparently the views are even better on X10A between Aberfoyle and Stirling. Sadly I didn't get to do an X10A Top Deck View on this trip, maybe that's one for next time?
Thanks to CWCP Travel for inspiration for this series. Check out their Windscreen View videos on their playlist here: • Windscreen View Bus Films

Love these Scanias

I don’t know the Scottish SN05 batch well but other than the usual ELC rattling, they do seem decent. Sound and run healthily, many still have original interiors in reasonably good nick as typical with First Scotland East, which is nice to see

I'm getting dizzy just watching this. The bus is a bucket, the roads are pathetic and thank God I'm no longer a bus spotter.

What made you quit the hobby?
