44 seems to be mainly older vehicles today .
Apparently due to roadworks causing frequent late running, and the lack of trackers subsequently causing issues. Easier to use the buses on other routes I was told.

Easy solution would be to just fit them with the outgoing vehicles trackers in the meantime...Apparently due to roadworks causing frequent late running, and the lack of trackers subsequently causing issues. Easier to use the buses on other routes I was told.

Thanks. Do you think we can we expect them back on the 44 once the roadworks have settled?Apparently due to roadworks causing frequent late running, and the lack of trackers subsequently causing issues. Easier to use the buses on other routes I was told.
The roadworks in Edinburgh are here forever.Thanks. Do you think we can we expect them back on the 44 once the roadworks have settled?
My thinking is next Sunday.When do you think we will next see a service update?
Thats just not going to be the case, the company usually gives at least 4 weeks notice.My thinking is next Sunday.

Maybe, yes, it was a theory based on previous changes .Absolutely not, we'd have known about it by now. Most likely towards the end of June is my personal opinion.
Tell me about it. Stupid Google Maps took me in the 44 route through Duddingston yesterday, the 44s running times will be getting mauled by those works as well as getting snarled at the giant pothole full of cones previously known as Picardy Place.The roadworks in Edinburgh are here forever.
2 together quite often and the occasional 3.Tell me about it. Stupid Google Maps took me in the 44 route through Duddingston yesterday, the 44s running times will be getting mauled by those works as well as getting snarled at the giant pothole full of cones previously known as Picardy Place.
50 minutes to drive 15 miles. Out of rush hour. Gah.

The Stevenson Road roadworks are gone (travelled down it around half 3). Travel down there this morning was absolutely painful, this afternoon drove through without problemsI think that was the problem, the lack of trackers was causing alot of problems all around (for customers, control & drivers). The 30 is absolute murder at the moment with the roadworks on Stevenson Road (by Balgreen) as well as the temporary lights at each end of Prestonfield Ave.
Scuse my ignorance but surely the lack of trackers on the new vehicles will cause problems whatever they run?
For Lothian it's 601, 618-690 (74) and ECB there's 8 that fleet numbers are still to be confirmed.How many B5TLs have still to enter service?
Maybe 20691 - 20699.For Lothian it's 601, 618-690 (74) and ECB there's 8 that fleet numbers are still to be confirmed.
(I believe anyway!)
How many B5TLs have still to enter service?
Good to hear, may I ask - what is the reasoning on why 618-627 seem to just be sitting at Seafield ready and not being delivered? Cheers!More have arrived at Seafield this week.
Can't see why not, I could see 691-698 aswell knowing that it 942 is still 942 and not 20942.Maybe 20691 - 20699.

I think that it remained 942 was that it was going to go to Lothian Country and not East Coast Buses but I'm not 100% certain.Good to hear, may I ask - what is the reasoning on why 618-627 seem to just be sitting at Seafield ready and not being delivered? Cheers!

It would've had its fleet numbers applied after it got the ECB livery so I highly doubt it. They are white (ECB standard) and not Gold (LCB standard). It was indeed meant to go but plans changed.I think that it remained 942 was that it was going to go to Lothian Country and not East Coast Buses but I'm not 100% certain.

Yea I've seen it, it was quite a waste of paint thatThere was an image of 942 in NEW Lothian Country livery on flickr but has since been removed.
Yeah, there was no point in repainting it into East Coast Buses colours, should have kept it in the Lothian Country Livery.Yea I've seen it, it was quite a waste of paint that
Keep it in Lothian Country colours when its operating in service for East Coast Buses?Yeah, there was no point in repainting it into East Coast Buses colours, should have kept it in the Lothian Country Livery.

This was covered a while ago in great detail...Yeah, there was no point in repainting it into East Coast Buses colours, should have kept it in the Lothian Country Livery.
