Welcome! I know you joined years ago but we did not know about you until nowEver since I was small boy . I always had a passion of Edinburgh Buses past and present and as you well know we are currently experiencing a very strange period. Hopefully things will get back to normal only time will tell.
Once lockdown is lifted I wonder if the service changes scheduled to take effect from 29th of March will be delayed once normal service is resumed .
Also looks like the rear number is changing too. https://www.flickr.com/photos/134298730@N04/49752528278 (not my pic) but horrible IMOThey can't be adding these horrible dests to all buses.
IMO it doesn’t look too bad. I suppose that if that’s the extent of our criticisms of Lothian though then they’re doing a decent job.Also looks like the rear number is changing too. https://www.flickr.com/photos/134298730@N04/49752528278 (not my pic) but horrible IMO
I used to see that fairly often as a bus passenger on the 63, sometimes the number would say 61 or 6-blank as an alternative. I noticed passengers along the journey who only realised at the last second that it was the bus they wanted. There wasn't any attempt to show the number elsewhere, like a hand-written sheet using marker pen in the windscreen. Does failing to disply the correct number breach some kind of Traffic Commissioner rule? Do drivers report the issue back so that it can be either avoided or rectified? As I say, it wasn't just once - such vehicles were sent out for months.I've had an '07 B7RLE that didn't have 63 on the number board.
unfortunately it would appear this is the new font nowThey can't be adding these horrible dests to all buses.
Unbelievable, what was wrong with the old one??unfortunately it would appear this is the new font now
nothing its just someones decided they should be different, no need for it imo especially when its as terrible as it isUnbelievable, what was wrong with the old one??

I like the look of it on the back of the 7900 for some reason. At times I feel like it looks like Hanover displays but it just doesn't do it for me. Shame, there was no point. However depending on the route, it might look like nothing like hanovers. This photo was taken on a route 400 (not by me) and it looks terrible https://www.flickr.com/photos/gfwlothianbuses/49778591886/in/pool-3426208@N20/I think the new font looks pretty similar to the one used on the Hanover displays. Quite like it myself but I agree it looks squashed on the back of those 7900s.
Bit random but had a late night thought and I’m unsure if it was mentioned on here before
Does anyone know why East Coast Buses doesn’t have the TfE logo on their buses like Lothian Buses do? I know Lothian Country had them till last year then they removed it and I can’t remember why, if they are all under the same family and have linking ticket options including the tram why wouldn’t they have the logo incorporated on all the buses? I don’t know it was just a thought
a few of B7s and 552-570 still have them other than that they all changed to the 100 years thingAny vehicle still fitted with them will lose them soon, unless a new MD likes the interference from TfE in which case, they'll come back

My friend Rob's updated his fleetlist. The website he previously used wont be getting updated for the time being.
He feels it's rather messy so he's asked if you could bare with him.
The only bit he's really not confident about is 703-927 and some depot arrangements. Any sold or long term unused vehicles are deleted. Medium term unused are highlighted grey.
Feel free to suggest any amendments and i can pass them on, i'll be helping him with it as i now have some time on my hands with work being quiet.
This is the accurate to the date of March 15th. With the belief being everything will go back to this or similar.
One thing i am aware of is the Zoo branded buses not having all their wraps detailed, i'll get on this in the next few days.
Enjoy

Great to see this list return - really a one in everything list (almost too much in one if you ask me but that's not to take away from the great effort put into it.)
I stumbled across this other website a few days ago when I was trying to find the old website Rob had (https://lothiangroupenthus.wixsite.com/website/family/Lothian-City-Buses) quite decent also.
Agree that sold vehicles (say only in the past x number of years) are moved to a separate section and perhaps those buses not used in 2-4 weeks are greyed out until they return/sold/removed from fleet - must be quite the task to keep up with.
Its a great list but will be tricky to keep updated so often (unless you plan to do it once every 2 weeks or something?)
I have missed that list Omni! Thank you Can I ask that the Route Allocations part is put back in, as it was always helpful info.
Maybe another suggestion would be to put all sold vehicles at the bottom instead of deleting, with possible a note to where they were last sold to.
I'll get on it todaySome of the allocations seem to be off, I'm sure 826/827 (07 plates) etc are at Longstone along with some of the B7TLs?
826-832 are LS based, 703, 705-708, 757, 758, 760, 788, 806-812, 814, 823-825 are LS based, 751, 754, 762, 764, 766-767, 786-787, 790-791, 813, 815-818, 822 are Marine based, other than that it seems rightMy friend Rob's updated his fleetlist.

Also, 1029 can safely be removed as we can take it as read that it's a write-off.
Does anyone know what the black square to the right hand side of the fleet number on 584 is for? https://www.flickr.com/photos/156386280@N04/49800729723 (not my pic) I'd guess some sort of sensor but I'm not too sure.

181 was sent straight for scrap? that was unexpectedAlso 181, if I recall it was burnt out in Livi on day 1 I think of service, and was sent for scrap (those buses could also be placed in the "gone" section as they left the company with notes section saying what their fate was)
