Ok thank you, im guessing that it is the same for SN10 DKO.
Really, do you know why its not back on the road?
because theres more to a reapair than putting a roof on, its almost ready but not quite. 1029 had structural damage so would be way to costly to repair, if you want to see parts of it then Lothians 302 is where to look
Thanks
Do you know what scrap yard the rest of 1029 is in?
why does it matter? think what scrap yard is a bit too much if an ask, considering most people wont know
aye
I don't understand why Lothian would just dispose of the bus, they're not even that old. They could have sold it to another company for use.
That's likely what they have done, by disposed of I meant disposed from their fleet. Sold it - to whom and for what I can only guess but it will no doubt come out.
Oh ok thanks, it least it isnt getting wasted. Are private plates like RIG 6495 or LXZ 5415. What do you mean by "its own steam". Thanks again and sorry for the misunderstanding.
Ok thank you.Absolutely no need to apologise
Under its own steam usually means by its own power and it's what I meant in this case.
I.e. driven to its destination, not towed, or on the back of a low loader.
I think the phrase will hark back to railway days gone by of stream trains.
I had assumed it was due to the batch they received, being consecutive and the letters don't matter.
WLT752 and WLT753 are old Routemaster plates that Lothian acquired at some point which have been used on a variety of support vehicles and most recently two of the coaches.
A few Stagecoach buses going about with WLT too, WLT 427 and WLT 943 spring to mind.
I'd initially thought "West Lothian Transport"?
Lothian had a few routemasters for the mac tours service so perhaps came up with those.
