I know theres 8 Skylinks (67 plate) VOR at Seafield, still in Skylink livery with LS on the side. Scratching my head over that when they could have taken 431-437 out instead.577 and 578 you will see very soon

577 & 578 in Lothian Country livery at Longstone today, 579-590 are City. They can only paint so many at a time577-590, with exception to 579, 584 and 587, what is the delay with them? 577 was last used on 20th August!
577&578 looking good any one seen 594 I know 370 is away for paint and not seen 251-256 out for a while
are they for certain times of the year only?251-256 tucked up for winter.
dont know if the same can be said for the EX1Been a while since I used the EX2 as have had some holidays. I used it this morning and it was about half full. Use of the bus seems to have spread out evenly throughout Linlithgow now rather than just Springfield. Also noticed about half the bus got off at Gogarburn, I have never seen that before so it must be attracting usage there. Hopefully it doesn’t get binned, I couldn’t cope with going back to ScotRail.
EX1 should be extended from its Bathgate terminus . Maybe to an estatedont know if the same can be said for the EX1
EX1 would have maybe have been viable if it was extended however if it was extended it would take a good amount of passengers off the only current decently populated route the X18EX1 should be extended from its Bathgate terminus . Maybe to an estate
exactly what i thought. LC have 6 B5s for the X18 and now with 577 & 578 added to the LC fleet surely those could be use to increase the X18 frequency aswellEX1 should be axed with the X18 enhanced. As i've always said they're just competing with themselves and nothing more.
My commute takes me over Waverley Bridge most mornings at about 0830, it's gone from two vehicles waiting at that time to none, definitely running a different schedule than during the summer / festival.are they for certain times of the year only?
festival period is always way busier and needs extra capacity, i thought those B9s were to keep CS frequency high to fight off BBTMy commute takes me over Waverley Bridge most mornings at about 0830, it's gone from two vehicles waiting at that time to none, definitely running a different schedule than during the summer / festival.
pretty sure its LMC nowDoes anyone know if Marine is still supplying the buses for C134 or is LMC doing it now?
Haven't seen managed to see a bus on the service, since the new term started, but did spot one of the LMC double deckers sitting at the shuttle bus stop at Teviot, engine off and blank displays, when I passed by there the other day...
pretty sure its LMC now
Was Marine B7s that were doing it which has withdrawn 2 sinceCheers, kind of makes sense really, not like it's a service open to the public, so probably more suited to LMC. Also means that 2 city buses are freed up for other things or as service spares...
Fun fact
In the bus stop in the western general grounds, on the sign where the 113 terminated on Sundays it says “Lothian Country” 113 and this is the same sticker they use on the West Lothian services/43 and not the old one from the pre ECB days
I know this is clearly an error but just a random observation I noticed today on the 38
Bear in mind the Edinburgh Evening News aren't exactly regarded for their accuracy...I was led to believe that Lothian had dropped the remainder of there Wright order?

Does this mean we will likely see B5TL/B5LH and some form of B8RLE in the future with ADL bodywork, assuming that it's easy enough as it's already been done putting a 400 body onto the b5lh and b8l chassis..

Was apparent to anyone with an ounce of sense it was never going to compete with the train ,there is no comparison in journey times ,pricing or quality.I have a better seat than most when it comes to EX services and would agree Ex1 is a waste of a vehicle diesel etc etc. Pax numbers are terrible. It really is a shame its not getting used. But agree with X18, by far being the better performer
Still terminates there on a Sunday just FYI

Ex2 has a chance as linlithgow public are fed up with 38 service (with good reason) however long term it will struggle in it's current form to make any kind of profits.
