699 is actually 1080 in disguise. Seems like the tracker has been moved over but hasn't been updated properly
699 shows on tracker on service 11 (earlier was in actual service), whereas 1080 shows parked up in central (was in central while 699 was on the road).

I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be out tomorrow. only on services 11 and 16 though.
FiG did have a habit of keeping there fuel-heavy E500s out of service on Sundays, doubt LB would have them out of service though(usual kind of comparison for me then) lol

All I'm aware of so far is that First are planning to operate more services in Edinburgh than previously, but I doubt it will become a 'bus war' like there was in 2001 and 2002.
Im taking from that like they are operating suburban services that operate just within the City

427 now at Longstone as expected.

Funny I was wondering about 427....
was on it this morning it does seem to be at Longstone
It was on the ex-Westburn 05:55 33 to Gorebridge
Still has the "Skylink 200" style interior with luggage racks down the stair side, but contactless hardware has been removed (now just a metal plate covering where it was) also still carrying 'CE' depot code

On the 11, there is 9 B8Ls and 2 B9TLs and on the 16 there is 6 B8Ls in service.

Got one on the 11 , nice inside , noticed that the rear exit door opens first and the front only opens when thats closed . Caused a bit confusion . Did lose 5 mins to the Ocean terminal

Surely that defeats the whole point of the second door?

Intresting to point out is 571, 573 & 576 are at Grangemouth, repaint into Lothian livery. 569 is also there so will be interesting to see if it comes back with just a repaint or screen changes/interior refurb aswell to bring it up to new specs. 353 is there aswell continuing 11 plate repaints

I know Lothian had the final day of running for the tridents, however I noticed that the C134 had 700 on today (as well as 767, 750 and 46)

700 (SN04AEU) has been used as follows :-

It seems to me as though Lothian are just using whatever old buses are available at Marine for the C134 (and the X37 and short 41 working that feed into it) and currently that's a mix of Tridents and Gemini One B7TLs
