Haven't seen anything about this previously. I suspect I may be there, quite possibly with over-excited small grandson!

As part of our Doors Open Day event on 24 September, Lothian Buses will be operating a vintage running day.
Some of our extensive fleet of vintage buses will run part of the Service 16 from Lothian Road to Newhaven, stopping at Elm Row, just a few minutes walk from where the Doors Open Day event will take place.
The buses will run at least every 10 minutes from 0900 1800 and normal fares will apply with Ridacards and concessionary cards all valid for travel.
Don't miss your chance to travel along Lothian Road, Princes Street and into Leith on one of these classic buses.
