I was meaning from an age point of view rather than them being compliant.

Dundee has the last of its Geminis to remove first before anything else is released.

That would but good but the LEZ introduction kills any plan of that. Not viable to upgrade emissions given their age. There are a few examples available from Midland Bluebird. 3 currently in use (could all be replaced by StreetLites). I do believe 8496 might be Euro 5 though, it’s why First...

Launching in January was possibly a flaw. January/February is always the quietest time for tourists. Having said that, it allows the service to build up a reputation prior to the busier season returning. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an increase in vehicles soon. The Airlink is no less busy...

You wonder how much profit there is from £25? I can’t imagine it’s a lot, so requires high sales for it to make sense.

However this isn’t what creates the 16th diagram. This is a re tweak of an few existing ones. I do have the diagrams I’ve come up with if people would wish for them to be shared, and then no doubt people can pick the holes where necessary.

Correct. I believe it’s created from reshuffling the Aberdeen daytime arrivals/departures as well. Which diagram has been split in half, I still have yet to work out. However, I have a fairly good idea which one it is. I had come to this conclusion as without it, it’s impossible for the...

Not surprised. At least that’s them finally getting used. Must’ve been sat at Slateford a good 3 years at least now? Will be interesting to see how many sets are still 4 cars after this. Possibly less than half.

If the diagrams I have worked out are correct, it’s 15. The 16th would need to be one of the diagrams I have split in half, which is possible, but unlikely. Remember an Edinburgh to Aberdeen return service is still ‘suspended indefinitely’, so it’s likely the lack of a 16th is from this. On an...

I figured this might be the reason for it, but still can’t see it working. Wallyford is a considerable distance outside of Edinburgh City Centre, a good 20-30 minutes anyway. There’s surely a closer charger than that? Or at least could’ve explored a better option. Whole thing seems a waste of...

That might be a new candidate for the most pointless route I have ever seen. Who on earth needs to make such a journey? I could understand an E1X between Dundee and Edinburgh, but Wallyford? Wow that’s crazy.

A very strange choice of terminus in Edinburgh though. Stop YB is in one of the most congested parts of the city centre. It will mean that it will need to take its layover elsewhere as well as the stop cannot handle layovers due to Lothian services stopping there; which wouldn’t fit if the 902...

It definitely is an interesting move by Bright Bus to take this on. It doesn’t really seem like this fits into a budget operation at all. A niche market for sure and I think one that COVID might have killed off. Won’t cost Bright Bus to get it up and running, but let’s see how long it lasts. I’m...

This will be what 8951 is for then.

The contract is. Like I said before, it doesn’t mean the route is.

224 is away home to Northern Ireland by the looks of it. Currently tracking at the Stena Line Terminal at Cairnryan. Presumably bound for Ballymena?

I can’t speak for the other companies on it, but good luck finding an inaccuracy on the Lothian page. It’s about as accurate as it gets!

Where does it say this? I have Bus Times open in front of me and the only edit close to what you’re referring to is a disapproved edit to 24.

I think you’ve forgotten that the 63 is a subsidised route though. As such there’s only a requirement to run the service to the subsidy requirements. Anything above and beyond this in terms of routing, frequency and hours of operation normally falls into the commercial arm. The overall subsidy...

For now though, but I can’t see it being long before the fares are integrated together. It requires Eve’s though to be brought up to Lothian spec internally as well which will take time.
