    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    905 plus I presume 906 Have been given "harlequin" style Lothian destination screens - this is a nice nod to the past and it was nice to see someone take the time to implement this into their destination screens. I had to do some edits from a video I took of the front to minimise the flicker of...

    Could somebody explain the benefits of having seperate single decker rotas and a requirement for them rather than not having rotas dedicated to how many decks a bus has.

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    I was under the impression Lothian had access to the most amount of double deckers possible aside from 2019-2020 during this period because of all the new deliveries coming in or was it a similar situation to when they replaced 153 deckers with only 98 in 2021, with the E400 MMC's replacing...

    I take back my comment about avoiding competition with Mcgills, my alterations to my comment are it could become a service for a newfound expansion and extend up to Bo'ness via the M9, however I suggest this only after West Lothian service improvements are made. X19 Edinburgh - Winchburgh - M9 -...

    X19 could be extended and cut to hourly to free up buses for other areas. Not fully backing out but also creating a better connection than competing with mcgills.

    Hopefully the Citaro C2/C2G's that they will replace dont get scrapped as has happened to other airport buses displaced from service.

    Thank you, I didn't want to make it too far fetched or involve lots of other changes across the network.

    Around 20 double deckers would be required, potentially 641-650+681-690 as then Longstone would have 90 numerically ordered MMC's. 401-425 could work aswell. BZL's are probably about the right capacity for the 30 as they are on the smaller side of deckers. They are 12.2m long which was...

    They dont look that dated with the condition they are in.

    If it becomes too much of a problem swap it with 905/6 as they are more reliable.

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    Both 905/6 have recently been fit with assault screens so might continue to see service. Neither are anything similar condition wise to most other 17 year old buses still in service in the UK that I have been on myself. They are in brilliant condition with little to no rattles and not incredibly...

    228 has come back from electric conversion and I got a quick picture of it with its new panels. I am unaware if it has been in service yet.

    Don't think they are being replaced by those either
