So, the future of the StreetAirs has been decided.
That's another taboo subject to tick off the list...!
Are you saying we shouldn't talk about them now? It's a forum where things like this are supposed to be talked about...

StreetAirs are one of those topics that makes this forum very boring as it's the same questions with the same answers all the time.
Yep, what will the mods be, what route will they be on, does anyone know when they'll be back etc etcI think given the Twitter disclosure they're on the record once more
I'd guess the answers will be. New batteries, something quiet and when they are ready and social distancing is in the bin.

Hear hear! Can we have a ban please on unimaginative keyboard warriors with evidently very little to contribute churning out the 'someone once talked about this in 2019' argument.

Is there any need for the constant doom and gloom from certain members? It's a discussion forum where things relating to a topic are discussed....
On a less negative note, it's good to see the new E400EVs have entered service on the 10 today.

202 has been round the back of longstone for a while.
A Lothian driver told my mate that 5 E400s are going to Longstone and 10 to Marine. I've no idea if this is accurate, however.

It's 'resting'
I think it would be extremely unusual for the batch to be split up, but could see off the remaining 900s at Longstone when more B5TLs arrive?
I think it's more likely some or all of 401-425 would return to Longstone but the E400s would be an interesting one.

Keeping a small batch of the same type bus at one depot will probably be more sensible instead of having them scattered about the place
291 is tracking as 294 as I have just had a ride on it.
Yep, 291 as 294 - and 294 as 291!

I can see a possible collision which caused the front needing replaced, with the new front from 181?

The list is getting smaller with 1029 and 942 off the list. Just leaves 1076 & 181.

I thought 181 had already been scrapped, had it not?

My mates have just sent me a picture of 172 on driver training duties. Are 171-175 becoming trainers or was this probably just being used as a spare (I guess just a spare)?

173/174 are/were in public service on the 281 & 276 earlier. Most likely both.

Alright, does the whole batch of 171-175 have LC legals or are they just being used there temporarily?
The 276, also known as.... no, we've already been over that countless times.

I think 172 - 175 are at Livingston as the appear to be there on the tracker.
(171 still appears at Seafeild)
That's because it is there - with Lothian Buses LTD Legals.
Graham Alexand
Member
I know, thats why I said that because all others are at Lothian Country

So Is 171 with Lothian and 172-175 with Lothian country?
Graham Alexand

I think so, also I saw 175 on the 276 today so that's 173, 174 and 175 in service with Lothian Country now and 172 in the Livingston depot.
