Having looked at the timetables I'm 99.99% sure the 0819 comes off the X26... So the 3 X26's arrive at Waverley Steps (stop PP) at 0757, 0818 and 0838 And the 3 25's depart Waverley Steps (stop PP) at 0758, 0819 and 0839 (this being the first stop for these 25's)

To add to Eastern's woes, I saw recovery company McPhie's collecting a single decker this afternoon from the Sighthill college stop. (Couldn't see the number). It seems it gave up on it's way into Edinburgh - oh dear.

I wondered if that was the case. It's the first time in a long time I've personally seen a double decker on Driver Training. I've seen a fair few singles on DT (ordinary service vehicles, not necessarily Training school vehicles) but makes sense to use vehicle types that a driver is going to be...

With regards to driver training, I saw 1002 out on driver training duties yesterday.

The 109 was latterly a one bus, 3 round trip service, Longstone - Livingston Dean's- Longstone (ran between 3:30 and 6:30am( IIRC before this it was the night service of the 9 that Lothian ran into Livingston (back when night buses were 101-106 weekends/201-205 weekdays) It was an advertised...

Agreed it is also very frustrating especially at a busy stop where 5 or 6 people can all ring the bell - between the old yins that are deaf and the youngsters plugged into technology, no-one is aware of their surroundings- everyone in their own wee bubble :{

I'm pretty sure 219 was kept for sporting parades and such likes (eg football Cup wins)

The fleet number of a bus comes in handy if you leave something on said bus! (IIRC this was a reason for the depot codes being added to buses so lost property enquires could be directed to the correct depot - but I doubt the average passenger would note a fleet number and depot)

I'm of an age where I remember those rubber bell stripes on the roof of old LRT (Lothian) Buses! :oops:

I'd be embarrassed to my company name on many ex First Scotland East buses :lol: It rather become the division that first used to "lose" buses/dump them there til they died and could be written off.

31/X31 Service changes now on Lothian Website: See Here (Link to service 31/X31 timetable changes in News section)

I was on a bus going the opposite direction, so didn't catch the reg, but sounds like it was most probably that WCM Irizar then

I saw the 978 arriving in Edinburgh this afternoon, it was a pure white Irizar (I think an i6) So I've no idea who it belonged to

Estimated buses are shown based on timetable information, rather than actual location of the bus. I have known estimated buses to show up, presumably due to: No working tracker in the vehicle, No working vehicle WiFi connection, Faulty tracker There do seem to be some issues with the technology...

:lol: when was the last time you saw an open top (or closed top) doing 40+ mph on Princes Street ???

.....I seem to be stuck in some horrid time warp.... it is 2022 for me, yet photo was taken May 6th, 2050 :| (But looking superb for 50+ years :p )

I totally agree.... Hearts home games are another time 3/25 especially busy - folks are swinging off the rafters

The 3 on a Sunday could benefit from XLB's as well, quite often I'm jammed in like a tin of sardines

That is my understanding as well, Bathgate and the old Almondvale Bus Station/depot were replaced by Centrex

Back in the day, IIRC, the Citylink Edinburgh - Glasgow was the 500, with the 501 continuing to Greenock or Gourock
