Originally, the Hillend terminus was to be closed for 4 or 5 months (which would have been December, IIRC) Unsurprisingly, the redevelopment works seem to be months over schedule and now the terminus is closed "until further notice"

Yes, correct, it has always been C134 as far as i am aware (though no number is ever displayed) I'm assuming C134 is some sort of internal reference for the service/contract

Yes, I've noticed this as well...certain windows seem to flex wildly and there are one or two where the whole bus seems to rattle something hellish

I would love to see them showing actual times, delays, diversions etc- it *should* be possible, but when will we actually get that is another story, for another day and another thread..... (before Gus comes at me getting off topic - sorry Gus :oops: )

Yes, they will still have the 20, 63 and 68.... but nothing commercially operated in Edinburgh or West Lothian, or contracts in WL either

Given the new screens can't even show live tracking (only timetabled times) there is currently no hope of them showing diverted or delayed buses.... There should have been far more testing of the new system before it was rolled out and went live - but that's the council for you..... Also, as...

.....maybe the Sprinters need handled by a more gentle hand than a First Group Driver or Mechanic..... <D:lol:

Thanks! Time flies, they have been around a lot longer than I thought/remembered - old age must creeping up on me :oops: :rolleyes::o

I believe they were bought during lockdown to provide space for social distancing on routes normally allocated single deckers I'm sure I'll be corrected if wrong on this...

Can't wait to see the back of the Ex-London buses... They are horrid sardine cans, seat spacing is the worst by far of any Lothian bus and most have very loud engines - you can hear an Ex-London a mile off I would *almost* go as far to say, given the choice between travelling on an Ex-London or...

Agreed, today I noticed a right mess: 25 was showing both 'Craigentinny' and 'Restalrig' 30 was showing as 'Musselburgh' (with QMU* and Stoneybank as via points) Wherever the data comes from it needs fixed *Queen Margaret University- where the 30 does actually terminate now

Yes, noticed this morning that they had been unfixed ...what a shambles they are....

I haven't really been following these tenders, but that I never saw coming...

I had a feeling it was an ex-Airlink, I couldn't remember they were 15 plate B5's though! - thanks for that!

The 2 I was on yesterday had a bus swap at Potterrow a 7900 (14) for a double decker (I did look at fleet number , but cant remember :oops: ) It had floor height blue lights going up the stairs
