It was moved back to Waverley temporarily in June 2024 due to works making the existing stop at South St David Street unavailable. It's supposed to move back later this year, but hopefully the arrangement is made permanent.
You're right enough, just had a bit of a moment I guess when I was thinking it through. Thanks for clarification.
Chances are they will stick with anything with Volvo as Lothian had a big partnership with them which is why mostly or not all their fleet is full of Volvo engined buses, If I’m correct they did trial the Wrightbus Electroliners, and it basically struggled with the hills in the city.
When they arrive
I don't think I've ever seen this many double deckers on the 36 at once. Makes a nice change.
back in its pre covid days that used to be normal to find up to 3 a day on it.
The tree work they did at the start of the year in Glenlockhart Road has made a massive difference to the clearance for deckers.
thank you!
The trees on Glenlockhart Road were getting out of hand, but they’ve been trimmed back a bit now.
Evidently a breakdown
I think it’s more the speakers being broken as opposed to the announcements being too low. This isn’t restricted to just the batches you refer to.
Would the speakers be broken in the new buses though?
I’d say it’s just like the next stop screens. Most of those are broken in some form.
Good they’re a pain in the arse those announcements especially when they say half the words wrong
I actually like them and find them useful bit I know what you mean. They still have Foun-tayn-park
seems to have just been a cover for something, it's on the 44 today according to bustimes.
I’ve always assumed it keeps the newer buses out longer meaning less wear and tear requiring more inspections on the older vehicles but that could be nonsense, something similar used to happen back pre covid when the 35 was using B7s, they’d all come off around 7/8pm and half the 15 plates allocated to the 34s would interwork onto the 35 for the evening
