    Ah thanks, yes, was "thinking out loud" from the comfort of my armchair! :lol::oops:

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

    I believe there is a 15:41 (Mon-Thur)/13:07 (Fri) schooldays journey from South Gyle access to Gillespie Crossroads but nothing timetabled the other way. Given, of the top of my head, the 400 passes near Gracemount and Firrhill Schools (and possibly a school around Oxgangs as well (?)) Maybe a...

    I totally agree with this, both can be an absolute nightmare any day of the week.

    That is a major "oopsy"

    Yes, it could well be just dead running to somewhere. I have seen them (the tri-axles) running out of service on Calder Road on more than one occasion. Also, I'm pretty sure that if tri-axles were to be retained on the 47, that their suitability for the route would have been established long...

    I'd take an Evora over an ex-London on the 3 any day! [I know I am probably alone with this view, but I find the seat spacing on the majority of the Ex-London stock ridiculously tight]

    Scottish Citylink

    No, Black with Orange "HH Coaches" lettering, but some of the panels looked like they had streak marks on them, as if something had run down them, leaving a white/pale residue behind

    Coming come from work today, I did see a "HH Coach" on the 900 dropping off at Shandwick Place, can't say it looked particularly fresh either...

    Personal account of my first journey using LC to Livingston: I had to make a trip through to Livingston last week. I got an X27 through, and an an X28 back. As it happened, both journeys were operated by 582 - and i have to say, I had a beautifully smooth trip both ways on it. The bus handled...

    Trivia: things other than place/stop names on bus destination displays

    Ah yes, of course, I'd forgotten that, thanks!

    Trivia: things other than place/stop names on bus destination displays

    I remember 'Circle' being replaced by 'Clermiston Circle' for the 1, with the 6 being 'Easter Road Circle'... This was after Atlantean days, though, it was on Olympians. (Not sure that they made things any less confusing for people "not in the know" though)

    Not to mention the Gyle 21's passing the Gyle centre, going all round Gyle estate then going back to the Gyle :rolleyes::|

    History of Bus Routes - SCOTLAND, Edinburgh & Midlothian

    "Thanks for that, I was actually just listing the names of the bus stops served as listed on either https://www.lothianbuses.com/timetables/ or https://bustimes.org/operators/lothian-buses. Maybe I need to make this clearer in each entry." Ahh, that makes sense now, without context it seemed...

    Setting up digital destination displays

    The best rail replacement display I ever saw was a bus with "I'm a train, choo choo" and the standard loco graphic on the destination screen :lol:

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

    Don't hold your breath; the council wants everyone to walk or cycle and they will happily shaft buses along with cars. If the council was that on board with promoting bus usage then we would have had bus priority measures years ago. (For example, more bus lanes and them being kept clear of...

    It probably comes down to rules and regulations regarding a timetabled journey and a duplicate journey (I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe there are differences, like there is no requirement to show a duplicate journey in the published timetable)

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

    Ahh, thank you! It was the same pre-covid, with the X26/22.... There was a AM X26 That continued as a 22 from Princes St to Gyle Centre (this was noted on the X26 timetable, but the journey to Gyle never appeared on the 22 timetable), however that bus returned as a part route 22 to Foot of the...

    I did notice while looking into the X26/X44 running on as 25's that there is a 0908 25 Heriot Watt to Elm Row - is this one of those extras returning to town? Does it then run on as something else? (Not that it really matters, just curious...)
