    Edinburgh Tour Operators: Bright Bus, Lothian (Majestic, Three Bridges) etc.

    It's now £16 for 1 tour and £20 for 2 for this year, unsure what the new boat & bridges tour will cost but should be announced soon I think

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    Do Lothian and East Coast Buses currently operate any services either fully or partly with council support? If I recall, when East Coast Buses first started operating, some evening and Sunday journeys on the 113 and 124 operated with East Lothian council support but I'm not sure if this is still...

    Regarding Malton depot how many buses can the depot actually hold inside? And how many buses are currently allocated to Malton just now and does anyone know what the new figure will be after the changes next week? Many thanks

    McGill's launches Loch Lomond Travel

    https://www.mcgillsbuses.co.uk/mcgills-group-takes-high-road-loch-lomond It was announced on both the McGill's West and East websites on Monday, already a bit of a backlash about it due to the number of cancellations to the Midland Bluebird services yesterday but I hope it all goes smoothly if...

    McGill’s Midland Bluebird

    Has there been issues across all depots today as the journey cancellation list is huge, over 160+ journeys cancelled? Hope things aren't going the same way as what ended up at Livingston as up until today the cancellations had been very minimal

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    I'm sure I read it was about some numbers being used for older buses and thus not allowing sufficient space for a sequence I came up with the following which may be of use to people: Volvo B7TL: 701-750. SN55 751-825. SN56 Volvo B9TL: 826-839. SK07 840-875. SN57 Both = 50 876-925. SN08...

    I think you would struggle to get an Evora around some of the streets of the 42 route as I heard even the short Enviros found it tight

    Lothian Buses acquires Eve Coaches

    A surprising and unexpected development indeed. Prior to seeing it was the Eve owner who approached Lothian I had thought this was maybe Lothian's way of getting back at and attempting to eat into Prentice's work after some of the bad feeling that has existed over the years, though I think...

    Lothian group (Network/Route Speculation)

    Regarding Ratho and it's residents wanting a service to/from Edinburgh what about extending service 12 once per hour to/from Gyle Centre with council support? I know it doesn't serve the main City area but it's as near as and would be a cheaper option than a fully supported new Ratho to...

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    I've kind of found it strange that since the X28 was withdrawn some evening and early morning Sunday X25/X25A journeys still continue to operate through Condorrat and Mollinsburn, especially as there is no daytime Stagecoach service for these areas, is there a reason these journeys still serve...

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    I thought or I guess hoped McGill's may have transferred some McGill's liveried Enviro 200s or possibly Stratas to operate the remaining Livingston depot supported services. This would allow the last remnants of First liveried buses to be gone and have a kind of fresh start even if it may only...

    Lothian group (Network/Route Speculation)

    They could order 8 or 10 new Evora's for the X7 and 106, I know it would only be an extra 8 or 9 seats but it would mean not having to change the route to accommodate deckers, and allow the B8R's to go into storage for possible future Lothian Country use? In the main fleet they could convert...

    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    With the new Lothian Country services starting tomorrow and Monday can additional journeys be introduced if resources are available or do they need to wait to register them? The reason I ask is I visited Livingston a few days ago and noticed how busy some of the Eastern Scottish journeys were on...

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    It's absolutely shocking tbh and no doubt no punishment will be handed out, yet if it was a small private operator they would be up in front of the traffic commissioner and would probably fined or suffer a reduced authorization. Imo I think the Scotland East licence should be revoked and the...

    Edinburgh & The Lothians Council Tender Services

    May explain why the 902 has been rerouted to serve Heartlands, Greenrigg, Harthill and Eastfield so it can poss link to allow through travel to Livingston? 1699649239 Wouldn't surprise me if McGills were to bid for all of these as it would mean getting paid for operating them, but I can see...

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    Another day of mass cancellations and part journeys with the 23 badly hit, 16.32, 17.32, 18.32 and 19.32 ex Shotts all cancelled, but no doubt still getting paid as these are part supported. Imo McGills should face a heavy penalty once they finally exit West Lothian in December for all the...

    McGill's Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish)

    The 20, 63 & 68 are to continue beyond December. It's only the 4 remaining West Lothian services which are being withdrawn. Is it right the 20 has a 46 min layover at Chesser? Perhaps this upcoming change could be to reduce it in some way.
