surely thats a waste of money? Giving a bus vinyls that will only last for a few days as i imagine the situation will be the same as when Go North East had it, the 'Lothian' vinyls were removed and Go North East vinyls added?

It was probably a last minute thing, like it was with GNE.

Harlequin 683 meanwhile on service 26 - due to the lack of red tops!

Does anyone know if those Van Hool A330's have entered service with First and Stagecoach in Aberdeen yet, Was thinking of doing a trip up there towards the end of the year.

In Edinburgh today:
A harlequin trident and a B9 gemini 1 on 26s
62 covering for a 7900 on 1
Few B7s missing off 'the lady Victoria' with un branded B7s and B9s in their places.

The lady Victoria brand must have been withdrawn as in my few hours at Edinburgh today, I didn't see a single branded bus on route 3.

Has been gone a few years now Tongue

If I recall correctly, service 3 was changed to do with something related to First? This is when they lost the branding - must have been in 2012.

(17 Aug 2014, 4:20 pm)AIG20 Does anyone know what has happened to (and the whereabouts of) the other "Commonwealth Games" Stagecoach London Dennis Tridents - except the "04-plates" which are apparently returning to service at London.

There's one at Dunfermline.

Was it inside as I don't remember seeing one in the yard today?

It was outside in the yard on Saturday.

I was on a coach fleeing past, so couldn't ID it. The lad who I was with noticed it first.

I'm guessing it was just a break for the driver, as three are/have been at Carlisle, though destined for Manchester and London.

Henderson Travel?


RE: Scotland Bus Operations - northern156 - 30 Aug 2014

Possibly, although I think it is SPT's own due to the fact it has SPT on the side. Not sure about the legal lettering though, I should've checked that out!

Aye just done a search and it is Henderson Travel's ... visited their depot on our day out to the Commonwealth Games - very welcoming they are too! They had this as their NIS screen, quite nice to see an operator personalising it! They even invited us onto their new E200's which they had just picked up the previous day, to show us what they were like!
