Possibly Allan’s of gore bridge?

It was a, tongue in cheek comment, bearing in mind the corpse of the deceased McGills route network is still warm. How about Southern Scottish.

Easyjet called, they’re not entirely happy about the orange and white branding.

You could probably call such a division , Eastern Scottish, if you wanted to.

There's always the chance that they're trying to do a Guide Friday and get bought out eventually. History has a habit of repeating itself.

What a terrible thing to say. It’s extremely unlikely that the driver was doing anything other than driving carefully.

I reckon the X38 is ripe for a bit of competition. Maybe not from Lothian but maybe some one else will have a crack at it??

Maybe just for once, let them have this one? An increase is still an increase regardless of how much effort was put in, the services must have been run reasonably well to deal with the trade picking up.

I would take from that, that cooperation is not possible under current competition legislation.

Has this airport service been confirmed or is it all just rumour and speculation at the moment? For all we know these buses could be getting deployed on some university shuttle or competition on the South Queensferry corridor.

Really informative reply, thank you. Trouble is, I the world of bus enthusiasts there is a big risk of faulty information becoming gospel, depending on who said it and how loudly. Then repeated ad infinitum, and not always accurately, by some who think they are some kind of oracle. There's a...

If they haven’t been repainting Livingston based buses over the last year to get rid of the old liveries, then they aren’t going to bother now.

My first reaction to that statement was, it was an un warranted dig, but factually wrong too and a bit spiteful really. After all LC did a bit of retrenchment after mcgills came along so the opposite of ramping up the competition. They're basically trying to blame others for making what...

It's tainted with the stench of failure and worthless as a brand. It should never have been resurrected, let it die off now.

Who was it who said that Lothian Country cutting back after McGills bought out First, was a masterstroke? They turned out to be bang on the money.

At first I read that as asking are there any buses still in the First livery. As in First the people who used to run them.
