First Glasgow implemented more than 30 service alterations on February 5 to help with a continuing driver shortage, and improve the reliability and performance of its network. The company says that by releasing driver resources these changes would allow it to offer its customers a more consistent service throughout its operation, and that it is continuing its aggressive recruitment efforts to overcome the significant driver shortages that it has been experiencing for some time. Most of the changes affected early morning, evening or Sunday times or frequencies, but one beneficial effect of the changes has been to reinstate night journeys on service 500, thus restoring a 24hr facility between Buchanan bus station and Glasgow Airport. A further improvement to this service is scheduled for March 23, when the daytime frequency will be increased from 15min to 12min, with additional evening journeys also added.
