When I'm waiting (at the stop) for a bus behind the one currently loading, and the driver let's random people on the bus it does make me angry.
Sadly the whole bus stop etiquette of queuing in an orderly fashion has gone right out the window these days - some stops are worse than a rugby scrum.
Indeed, that was the last local service to use Waverly Bridge, then just the 100 (and tours)
Agreed, that change to the 36 did wonders for the route, it gave Napier students a link from Bruntsfield (and Merchiston Campus) with Morningside, the Glenlockhart Campus (and with a short walk...
The 36 did go to Holyrood, before the 6, then it was split off to be the 6 from St Andrew Square - Waverley Bridge - St. Mary Street - Holyrood Rd. To the Terminus. The 36 was rerouted and extended up Lothian Road and Morningside towards Napier University's (then new) Glenlochart Campus IIRC.
The Stirling Uni shuttle run by First is "numbered" UL
Outwith the UK:
In Innsbruck, city bus services are lettered*, whilst tram services are numbered (two notable exceptions were bus service 4 (Now 504 - Innsbruck to Hall in Tirol, former tram service 4) and the Stubaitalbahn, which is 'STB'...
Good point, I missed that!
Also can you remember what the Lothian Decker did before/after that school journey?
I seem to think in the afternoon, it turned at the bottom of Saughtonhall Avenue, ran back up Balgreen Road to Corstorphine Road, than ran into town as a part route something (or...
Thanks!
I know the school journey was handy for Broughton High start time, but was never sure why run it so close to the regular service, other than the extra capacity.

Back in the mists of time, when I was at High school (mid- to late 1980's) there was a school days only 38 run with a double decker, Saughtonhall to Crewe Toll in the morning, Crewe Toll to Saughtonhall in the afternoon
I think it is a historical thing, going back to ye olde days when you had 3 reels for numbers...
The first number was dropped for the X...
So (using old SMT/Eastern Scottish/First East Lothian services as an example):
113 was X13
124 was X24
106 was X06 which later became EX6
108 was X08 which...
I would imagine having to drive your entire shift on *any* route would be tedious, though some routes definitely more than others, but again, I'm not a driver so....
Personally, I've never had any issues travelling on the 7900's and have even done Longstone to Musselburgh on them more than once - (admittedly It was for leisure purposes meeting a friend and I always found it to be a enjoyable journey)
I do understand however, that as others have said, they...
Thank you, I knew X50 was used for something before it was used for the Cruiselink
