Well that certainly was a good read! A good bit of variety had over the week. I certainly know the feeling just wanting to get home, sometimes when a holiday is coming to an end you do just look forward to your own bed.

197 was an absolute bucket, the long stretches at full pelt didn't do them any favours.

The East Coast B8RLEs are limited to (and can easily achieve) 60mph, so there's a good chance you were going faster than 50 if you were on a dual carriageway.

One of the big things that puts people off the 253 is that it doesn't serve Princes Street, going along London Road and Piccardy Place to the Bus Station instead. If it could be re-routed to serve at least the Waverley steps and then turn up St Andrew Sq and into the Bus Station that way, then...

Thanks, I'll have a look at those.

Does anyone know when the locos are swapped over? I still need 68009 and 014 so hopefully they come out to play the next time I'm down that way.

The Airlink ones. The Motorcoaches are in a bit better state as they were refurbished and subsequently not very heavily used for a couple of years as part of the private hire business.

The 900s at East Coast have done over 750,000 miles each and are knackered. They won't be inflicted on 'Country and, paint or no paint, I'd be surprised if they've got much more than a year left with the company.

938 and 949 are at Seafield for accident repairs. It would certainly be logical to send them for paint once the repairs are completed.

A quick trawl on the internet shows no buses were delivered in 1987. Quite a while ago. Also, only one vehicle - Dennis Javelin R79KSX - was delivered in 1998.

Motherwell is a decent station for spotting, obviously you get the WCML fasts through there as well as the local services. Be aware though that there is some building work going on at the station at the moment so if you're filming, there might be some background noise. Paisley Gilmour Street is...

Between about 2pm-5pm it can get snarled up in traffic around Dalkeith/Musselburgh, but the rest of the day its fine. Often I have to wait time in Roslin heading to Penicuik as we're early.

They've also added a feature where you can plan a trip to specific shows/events and venues for the Fringe this year, which is a nice wee addition.

True, North Bridge still has the lights active for traffic coming off the bridge, but that's probably because it's sequence includes multiple flows at the same time. For instance, when the left turn lane from the bridge is green, the right turn from Princes Street to the bridge is also green...

For all the spotters out there, 843 is back from painting and out on the X6 today. 846 and 848 both at Seafield so I'd assume they're next.

The kids aren't alright - Fall out boy Beautiful James - Placebo I miss you - Blink182 The only exception - Paramore They're all pretty depressing I'd say. At least, they're all on my sad playlist on Spotify :lol:

They'll just be on repair at Marine, sure one or two will make an appearance in a couple of days.

Something simple like a Glasgow - Perth - Fife - Edinburgh - Glasgow circular would net you one or two of each. Easily done as a day trip so no need to book a hotel, but if you were looking to spend a bit of time in each location you may wish to do so at the moment, what with the early last trains.

I think it has something to do with Macbeth Moir Road in Wallyford than the terminus. There's always been a problem with parked cars in that housing scheme.
