hi guys im trying to find out if 20942 was scraped after it lost its roof just because its been off the road for 2 years now
As far as I am aware the official line is Day Tickets are NOT accepted on Airlink
Citysingles, Citysmart cards, Day Tickets, Day & Night Tickets and Night Tickets are not valid for any journey on Airlink
Will be rather ironic if these new open tops are Euro 3/4 considering the Lothian article yesterday about their environmentally friend tour fleet.

20942, the aforementioned decker is moving to Ferrymill soon to receive it's new roof and glazing.
Article highlighting how environmentally friendly the Lothian tour fleet is.

Looking back now this is quite evidently a publicity stunt they've pulled prior to the ExLondon Gemini's arriving since they're not Euro 6...
They may be retrofitted to euro 6 before service. At the same time, they'll also run for a different company, not EBT.
RefurbIn total today the 24 had 5 singles and and 2 deckers and overall today, the 36 had 9 singles and 2 deckers. Not a lot IMO. However I do wonder what is up with HY13BUS as her last trip out was 4th July.
Again? Did she not already get done not that long ago?Refurb
Correct, me thinks it’s probs just getting large scale maintenance. All 7900 hybrids except for around 5 at Longstone are now refurbished or are in the process. In terms of Central I think it’s just 1 and 6 left to complete which I think are away atmo (could be wrong though). Not been looking in detail as had no time due to work commitments. Either way should all be completed around September timeAgain? Did she not already get done not that long ago?
thought IT still had to be done. think theres like 5 left now total thoughAgain? Did she not already get done not that long ago?

For contactless on the 43 you need to state where you’re going (as opposed to regular LCB where you state the ticket and LB where you won’t say anything).
So rather amusingly if you travel down Queensferry road on the 41, 43 or 113 and use contactless it would be different every time!

Reason you need to state your destination is so your charged the correct fare for the journey because the 43s run 2 fare zones
yeah it gives me the fear especially when they use it while complimenting it such as isnt she lovely or something like that. very straangeAppreciated use of IT there, buses dont have a gender. Always confuses me as to why people give them a gender.
I always tell the driver where I'm going even on Lothian 'City' routes, then allow them to say what the fare should be. For one thing they can tell you if you've got on the wrong bus, part route, or maybe if it has been diverted away from where you want to go. But it just seems more polite in general rather than gormlessly presenting a pile of coins.For contactless on the 43 you need to state where you’re going (as opposed to regular LCB where you state the ticket and LB where you won’t say anything).

Do you happen to know if contactless on the main fleet is still on track for tomorrow?Indeed. As is the case for cash purchases, it will still be this case, if anything it will be more pertinent as people wont be charged the correct fair and then the correct cheapest option.

I put "she" in error. I was writing an email at the same time and wrote half my email in the message box before deleting and restarting. Multitasking for the win!yeah it gives me the fear especially when they use it while complimenting it such as isnt she lovely or something like that. very straange
When has Lothian (as a whole) ever left it until the 11th hour to announce something?I think the fact it's not been advertised provides you an answer

How long do we have the Evora on loan for? It's still not showing up on tracker but was given fleet no 299. 299 does not show up but 5005 shows up in the equator.
