If you are basing this off an edit on bustimes.org, this was made with the same judgement I have in the post above, given that 930 is also in white. If you have seen it in real life, thanks.

I can confirm this as I saw it quite a few times, (both the bus and screen display.)
Dors anyone know an E-Mail address for Lothian Buses to comment about services, drivers and staff? There doesn't seem to be anywhere on the Lothian site for this.

That is correct.
How about the "Feedback on our services" option in the drop-down list on their Contact Us* page? Or one of the other options on that page.
* Accessed via the "Customer Support" link their home page - look for: "Looked for help but still need a hand? Get in touch"

81A Muirhouse to Penicuik via loanhead
81B Muirhouse to Penicuik via Penicuik Queensway
81C Muirhouse to Penicuk via Easter Bush
There was an 15A 87A and 88A but can't remember the exact routes for the A suffix on theese ones.

15A - Stoneybank to Fairmilehead,.anticlockwise loop at Stoneybank (15 ran in the opposite direction).
87A - Seafield or Lochend to Roslin.
88 - Commercial Quay to Penicuik (peaks only), 88A - Commercial Quay to Roslin (also peaks only).

44A going different route in Balerno.
Previously the 43, IIRC. When the 43 started, it ran both ways but by the early 1990s had become westbound-only.
Found it and sent my comments to them. Thanks very much.

I haven't heard of there being a shortage of training vehicles, and as you say there's not a shortage of single decks at City at the moment. It could possibly be for a service increase at Country? I know Country had single deckers previously before they cut the service back; those single deckers are now all repainted and in service with City, are they not?
So my guess would be that 195(?)-198 will be painted and go to Country for a service increase, because either there aren't enough 7900s to take over completely from the B7RLEs at City and thus the B7RLEs can't be released to go to Country, or just that they don't want to have to repaint vehicles which have fairly recently been repainted anyway.
That's my guess.

I’d be shocked if 196 returns in anything other than allover white or madder and white. I believe the plan for 195-198 is to replace 15, 23-25 as the route trainers to allow them to return to city operations. There is a slim chance that all 4 get a retrim as well.
If this is true, the future of 1-10 you’d have to say is probably uncertain. There’s still every possibility that all of these extra deckers are coming in temporarily to allow for say the 30 to switch to deckers, likely with another route reduced as well with a concrete fleet from when the BZL’s are out.
I still expect Lothian to bid for and win at least 3 of the contracts, running 2 routes from them. This would be South Queensferry to Chesser and Ratho to City Centre. I don’t expect them to win any other routes, but may bid for a couple more.
Hi. I've been trying to find out what happened to the last batch of Volvo B7RLE Training Buses after they were let go by Lothian - I've looked online, including looking for photos on Flickr - any thoughts would be appreciated. The ones I'm looking for are:

All 8 were scrapped if I recall correctly
All 8 what were scrapped?

All 8 buses from the post directly above mine?
You need to quote the post you're replying to; otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Is there any indication on the first EVs arriving? They must be in build now for a spring delivery?
Also any further work on the repower of open top fleet? Would imagine winter is key time for getting as many done.

The BZLs have been delayed, probably by a month or two as apparently only 15 are completed.

thanks for sayng! 15 completed is significantly more promising than 0 completed, looking forward to seeing the first ones hopefully before June.
177 was/is on the 26 - looked very busy!

926 is confirmed to be in Madder & White.
I have seen an image, it is not speculation.

It was just out on a driver training journey in service. I passed it.

That was a duplicate run in service, it was a training run. Whoops I didn't see @Bus9120UK's message.
Thanks - I hadn't realised they were in such bad nick
Surprised it got repainted.

If it's because it was already in Madder & White (Swoops), they repainted it because they don't want a bus with that swoops in service again (bar 562 which is currently wrapped anyway). 562 would be repainted into Fleet of the Future (as 926 has) if it were to return to service without a wrap. 927 will most likely be repainted into Madder & White (Fleet of the Future).
