They were not well used as they were not advertised and the X11 left Edinburgh a few minutes after the well known 27/28, so everyone got on those.

That's three early journeys on the 60 missed. Also a couple on the 13. Not a good start to 2026 and their promise of doing better to the local politicians

If you look closely it is actually a 41 going to Greenbank

Another fine coming up

Has Midland Bluebird given up the 60 in Edinburgh. There does not seem to be any bus allocated to it for a few days.

I was with First in Livingston from 2002 and it ran buses on all four of the holidays on contract to West Lothian Council and also ran the Larbert 38 from Linlithgow to Edinburgh. Drivers were asked to volunteer, then it was last in next to fill the rota.

the 29 was cut back well before Lothian Country came in. First 800 replaced most of the route and it was cut back to Bathgate going past Armadale dog track, then it was cut back to Avonbridge. The X18 followed the First 20 route between Edinburgh, Broxburn. Bathgate and Armadale.

Not all. Lothian may have been cheaper on single tickets as long as you did not cross a zone line, First was cheaper on day and weakly tickets. Both Lothian Country and First were losing money when they came in and they were sharing the drivers, hence shortages and service cancellations. Bus...

it was brought forward due to the closure of Waverley Bridge for the Christmas period.

Their predecessor, First, used to only give you one weeks notice.

It appears that 0422 is tracking twice. According to Midland Bluebird website it is on the 13 and the 60.

Since Midland Bluebird has acquired the new Yutongs there does not seem to be any spare buses. Even the Streetlites which were at Livingston are being operated from Larbert. What has left the fleet?

They took the Home of Bright Bus sign down from the signs at the gate and put up a Prentice Westwood sign, but left up the Eastern Scottish sign.

They may get a better price with the plates. Happened with the East Coast ex Arriva single deckers as well.

Ye I agree that Lothian were economical with the truth. When they started the X18, there were adverts on the radio and in local papers stating that new buses were coming to West Lothian to operate it, which turned out to be the ex Londons with personal registrations to hide their age.

The pantograph option was put on ice after the councils would not give planning permission to put them up.

Only two buses being shown running on bustimes, both at just after 9 am athough they have been running all day.you never had this problem when they were shown under Bright Bus.

Why are the tour buses not tracking on bustimes in Edinburgh?

What are they doing with the displaced deckers from the 38? Are they going to Brightbus for the airport services?

Bustimes us confusing me. They have put all the Big Bus Tours under Midland Bluebird, but they are not tracking. Why can't the put all the Livingston operations under one heading? Hopefully when the new Yutongs arive at Larbert they will be able to transfer some buses to Livingston to stop them...
