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

    Potentially. They might not have glass staircases and they need an emergency door somewhere. The length is the most obvious visual difference. This should be enough for all 09 plates, 10 plates and ex-Londons to go. Depending on plans for service increases it could even be enough for some of...

    18 is in a scrapyard near Linlithgow, it's not in that image at Seafield. So far 197-199 have removed 17, 19 & 20, and 172 ended up replacing 18. Also, it's important to remember that 1/2 haven't officially been replaced yet (edit - 1021/2 returning allowed these two to go, but obviously those...

    I appreciate your thoughts but to be honest, you are overthinking. Here is what that section of the article intends to say: Of the 80 vehicles ordered, most will be for East Coast buses and Lothian Country. However, some of the Enviro 400 XLBs will be for Airlink. At no point is there any...

    Busman757 said in a separate post (which was deleted, I assume by moderators due to the lack of any meaningful contribution) that it was from a staff email.

    The previous system announced them as soon as it detected the bus had left the previous stop. The new system announces it some distance before the stop, irrespective of speed, which I do think is quite odd and I'm surprised it's not been updated yet. A Lothian Country driver commented on this a...

    Improved reliability being directly connected to the AVL (automatic vehicle locator) system. It can also display diversions. 1778517295 There is an image on Facebook of a Kite on a road test before delivery.

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

    Not at all now both are Longstone vehicles. I could see the 32 being permanently run with B7RLEs once 198 and 199 are out (even if 172 is withdrawn by that point). This move does seem quite embarrassing for Lothian considering 195-198 were moved east to replace 191-193 (and the solos) and now...

    Trivia: Bus routes or corridors that currently get a full 24/7 bus service.

    Lothian Buses Airlink 100 in Edinburgh is 24 hours. Overnight it's every 20 minutes, and during the day it goes up to every 9.

    On the 120 just now. Already at least 10 pax reaching Dunbar High Street with some people getting on and some off keeping it consistent. Almost all seats were taken as a community group, mostly children, got on leaving Dunbar. Two off in East Linton with another three on. One on in Tyningham...

    1126/7 have had luggage racks fitted and Airlink branding put in the advert boxes on the sides. Agreed 1075 is not great - I presume 1139 still being missing doesn't help.

    Might buses 1 and 2 now be withdrawn? Both out of service a few days and an increased presence of deckers on the 36. Today we've got 293, 362 and 391.
