387 also has a nearside fleet number - or did when I last saw it - which is nice to have back if it's stayingEx-Londoners all getting T-Ads fitted.
Also, the gold stripe along the madder skirt panels is no more, 387, 389 & 420 all returned without it
sorry, 389 has always had it its just 387 without itCan't see any photos of the other two on Flickr, but 389 must have had it applied at the depot upon its return as seen here.
wheres the nearside fleetnumber? 420 doesnt have depot code so id assume the fleet number is where that was387 also has a nearside fleet number - or did when I last saw it - which is nice to have back if it's staying
I prefer the livery without the gold stripe, but it does mean we have hardly any continuity in the fleet
dont know why they never had T adverts in the first place. i get why they were changed as London T adverts have a longer part above the cab which is different from the rest of the ukBringing in extra revenue through adverts and cutting down on costs when it comes to vehicle presentation... Halls departure already being noticed!
Theres so many liveries in the fleet that an extra won't make a difference.but it does mean we have hardly any continuity in the fleet
I always assumed that they were just phasing out T adverts altogether; especially with glass staircase deckers not having them and native B7’s (and B9’s eventually) being withdrawn. Made sense for them to standardise going forward. Is there really much difference in revenue to warrant changing them all again to T’s?dont know why they never had T adverts in the first place. i get why they were changed as London T adverts have a longer part above the cab which is different from the rest of the uk
T-adverts make a difference in revenue because 99% of ads are either rectangle ads OR t-adverts meaning if t-adverts were phased out they’d loose revenue from people who use those and that would also be bad for the advertiser as they’d loose a portion if their edinburgh advertisingI always assumed that they were just phasing out T adverts altogether; especially with glass staircase deckers not having them and native B7’s (and B9’s eventually) being withdrawn.

Does removing the gold stripe also make much difference too? Seems they are just changing small things about for the sake of it as soon as Hall has departed.
Correct me if I am wrong but Airlink don't have Saturday service as far as I know, as they run every 10 minutes 7 days per week.Also FYI Airlink now operating a Saturday service too.
From an outsiders perspective yes; you wouldn’t notice much (if any) difference. But the move has been taken to reduce the number of drivers required releasing them for city work. All this a temporary measure btw.Correct me if I am wrong but Airlink don't have Saturday service as far as I know, as they run every 10 minutes 7 days per week.
Service reduction?It's happening from Monday.
you looking for capacity or how many/what vehicles are allocated to where?Hello All,
I'm after a quick bit of help with Lothian depot information. I've done a lot of searching online but with the various legal entities for the Lothian group I cannot find an overall depot capacity for the 8 Lothian depots...is there anyone who does have the information to hand as I would find this useful.
Many Thanks,
PT
Yeah, seems to be going to a Saturday service, but I don't know for certain.Service reduction?
Fair enough - not really surprised. It’s probably the right thing to do.Yeah, seems to be going to a Saturday service, but I don't know for certain.

Was told it's going to be 'reduced' and not to Saturday or Sunday timetables. Whatever that means?
id have expected sunday timetables with peak extrasEarly start, late finish but at a freq that is somewhere between sunday and saturdays.

That sounds reasonable. I don't envy the duty planners having to do so much work at short notice!
Or the drivers who atm have absolutely no idea what shifts they’ll be working after this Saturday!That sounds reasonable. I don't envy the duty planners having to do so much work at short notice!
Airlink is every 8 minutes through the week. Saturday service is every 10 minutes.Correct me if I am wrong but Airlink don't have Saturday service as far as I know, as they run every 10 minutes 7 days per week.
