Withdrawn because doing something as logistically specific is that would rather be avoided by most companies as great as it is.
Similar reason to why most buses arent branded for specific routes anymore.
ADL because XLB is a name made by Alexander Dennis, the full name is Enviro 400 XLB (Extra Long Bus).

My personal opinion on where the new fleet should be numbered although I could be entirely wrong and this is all just made up.
Wright GB Kite (9)
1-9
10.8m evora (if any) (5)
96-100...
Hopefully the east coast XLB's are allocated to specific routes so their benefits can be utilised rather than used on everything like the current ECB decker fleet.
Hopefully it would be nice to focus them all on 1 route with whatever is left perhaps doing the 20.
I think the 2 is more suited to the 7900s over the 32 although there is the possibility in future all of Longstone 7900s will be replaced with eclipse 2s.
Yes I think given the entire Lothian group does operate non volvos minibuses such as sprinters (there are some non bus ones already) that this idea would work.
I always think it may of been a good decision if one or both of the optare were kept or even the iveco that used to run the 130 alot...
Hopefully better capacity than the BZL's.
Heating that is used would be a nice bonus!
Should aid in replacing all B9TL's up to 2010 and/or converting a single deck route to double deckers.
Isnt enough to replace all the 2011 native B9TL's if not any unless a service increase or expansion is...
