They are 9321 and 9322.

Yes that’s correct, there is only one wheelchair space and one buggy space (called a shared space).

There was the 8 Green Arrow Express coaches in 2019.

Update - this shuttle service is being operated by Ratho Coaches and today is using SN21 RDX and SM73 JZR.

An additional Cramond Shuttle service is now mentioned on the council website, running to Davidson’s Mains, and says it is using a 16 seater minibus, I wonder if this is being operated by Lothian Motorcoaches? https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/road-projects-improvements/davidson%E2%80%99s-mains/2

They returned a dividend of £3.2m for 2023: https://www.lothianbuses.com/news/2024/03/lothian-returns-3-2m-dividend-to-shareholders/

While we’re on the subject of bus stop flags, does anyone know why there’s such inconsistency with the updates to them at the moment? It seems to be completely random whether they have service numbers on them or not.
