I was in town today, not to tour but saw both were getting good loads, open top decks generally 1/2 full at least.
Even the bus and boat tour was well loaded, I've only ever seen it empty before!
Super competitive for business both teams of street hawkers borderline jumping people! The competing two on Waverley Bridge in particular.
Would put me off personally but the one that gives in will be the one that doesn't get the business so I get it.
St Andrews square constantly lined with buses, six fitting in the stance / line with more trying to turn it and get space.
Lothian using their Gemini 3s as normal, BBT seemed to largely have E400s on the A1 and the older Presidents and ALX400s on A2 but not exclusively.
Lothian were offering kids go free, but couldn't see their pricing to see how it compared and I didn't want to show an interest lest I be mauled
