You likely did, that's why i said allegedly as i'm yet to see any proof of it actually in LC colours, it was just reported elsewhere.

i seen it the other day still in city colours, Who said its in LC colours
I thought it was 455 getting towed, I saw it broken down earlier!
443 is on the X18 right now.
Saw on the bustimes.org/vehicles page that it's logo had change to LCB - thought it must be erroneous!
Photo taken from twitter showing 811 with Xelabus in new livery, presume this was the other bus I saw in convoy with 814.

Open top Scanias aswell

They should have been sold many moons ago, in their original incarnation....
Guessing there's no immediate plans to replace them given the current climate? I doubt there'll be any shortage of qualified drivers should the need to recruit again arise in the near/medium future.

891-925 except 901
Is it Scanias? I saw it listed as Scania - singular, and wondered what happened to the other one.

900 I’m sure also has hanovers
Yes, they're Scania N94UDs as far as I know.

I think they were referring to the fact only one Scania is for sale whereas the poster before said "Scanias" implying there was more than one.
Yeah but we know there to be two of them, but they've only listed one is what I meant:

Looks like at lest 12 deckers have gone to Stagecoach Newcastle for duplicate work. Looks like a load of ECB deckers with their destination equipment painted out.

Have they been sold or are Stagecoach Renting them? is they going to be enough stock for Lothian to operate?

Would a company intentionally put themselves into a position where they couldnt offer a service?
Logically? No
Lothianally? Potentially

Why on earth would Lothian get rid of vehicles if they weren't going to have enough to operate their own services? What a stupid question.

Ok chill
I think what they meant is that maybe those buses will be needed in the future for more Covid extras?
Looks like that poster a few pages back suggesting that Lothian would sell Stagecoach vehicles to 'help out' on services was right! Just not in the way originally suggested, that's me shocked!

Dose any one know the fleet numbers of the new singles or when they are hitting the road
As posted a few times, fleet numbers between 66-95 have appeared on https://finlaysmith.co.uk/ with 77 showing as being parked at Central. There's a few missing in this range (e.g 90) but I think these are the most likely fleet numbers.

A number of reasons, The revised network might be lower than we expected compared to Pre-covid, Lothian plans to get them back with a few months to boost its service back up once Stagecoach are finished with them? Lothian is getting new stock in, but it could be that its planning on converting more routes single deckers operation. Lothian are planning to swap west lothian operations around thus all deckers are moved back to the city ?

Your post implied to me that you were questioning whether Lothian would have enough buses to operate the current service level. Apologies if I misunderstood, but please clarify what you say in future to avoid misunderstandings like this in future.
