Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I will be moving to Northumberland soon and will obviously need some form of employment. I shall be roughly equidistant from Go Northeast's Hexham depot and Arriva's Ashington depot. What services run from these depots, and have I missed any depots? Not too familiar with the area yet so trying...

I noticed a red Yutong decker sat on the exit road of Marine, numbered 997. Not the same was it?

Thanks!

Does anyone know when the 141 stopped serving Fort Kinnaird?

Missed that one, should've posted in there. Thanks!

Not entirely Lothian related but when did the 141, when under First operations, cease going to Fort Kinnaird? Also any resources to historical First Dalkeith depot information online would be handy!

It's awfy small, but there has been a fair bit spent on it, including a brand new spray booth and improved maintenance equipment.

What are Edinburgh Coachlines covering for Citylink currently?

If the driver was rude and aggressive to you then that's a separate issue, and sad to hear. If they've been told no walk on NEC, then it would be within their remit to refuse travel. Waving a phone about saying the website says otherwise is antagonistic, regardless of intent. If it has upset...

Why are you setting out to antagonise a driver? Fair enough if this particular driver admits to any mistake, but from being in this game long enough I doubt it. I'd just bar you from any vehicle I was driving if you came at me with such a self-righteous attitude. End of the day, driver decides...

Right enough, I was using the map thing, which doesn't have a big green dot for Inverness.

I was perusing McGill's job vacancies and noticed they're hiring drivers on the Flixbus contract and the advert stated "With bases in Inchinnan, Livingston, Aberdeen, and Inverness...". The first two are known, but I'm interested to know about Aberdeen and Inverness, especially as Flixbus...

Paulley Vs First Bus is the relevant test case. Basically states that drivers must ask but can not remove a passenger with pushchair from occupying the wheelchair space. The recorded announcement is nothing more than an empty threat, sadly.

Buses are sat ready to leave Central, awaiting allocations. Some have come in, been washed and cleaned then queued, so they've not been parked all day. H-prefix services are left in the destination controller all year, same with the 20 and 63...

The issue lies with the passenger. The actual tap goes through in a second, and the system can process multiple separate taps even if it doesn't beep immediately. Passengers who don't have their fare device ready and spend 5/10 seconds struggling to unlock that device or the classic run for bus...

Board at flag works and removing it is asking for a massive culture change from the travelling public in Edinburgh, and not to mention it leaves disabled passengers at a disadvantage as mentioned before. The stops and stopping patterns need reassessed and adjusted. I would put delays in...

Yes, under the construction and use regs. Exceptions are if it fails mid-journey and only to complete journey, and to travel to a place where limiters can be set or repaired.

As a Driver in Edinburgh I'm not really fussed by folk getting up and being by the door. My only gripe is with the elderly and infirm as I'm more than happy to allow them time to get up from their seat, but when they're hobbling down the gangway it's just undue stress I don't need, especially...

Definitely questionable. The 16 can be pretty full well into the evening. Looked like standing room only when it went past me at Newhaven.
