Lothian Buses is delighted to learn of a fourth round of Scottish Green Bus Funding. As a company we are always looking for ways to offer greener and more sustainable travel, both for our passengers and the local environment. With the financial support from the Scottish Government we have been able to continue growing our green fleet. To date we have placed 25 hybrids into service and have a further 20 on order as a result of earlier Scottish Green Bus Fund rounds. These buses have helped trim over 1,000 tonnes per year from our carbon footprint and are persuading a significant number of car users to use the bus instead of a private car for urban journeys.

I've not yet managed to have a ride of the 7900... Got two trips to EDB planned though, so will fit in a couple of rides on at least one of the two trips. :p

What are they like for rattling? Edinburgh must have some of the bumpiest road surfaces going...
If they weren't built pretty solidly, I don't think I'd be a fan.

Actually when they depart it's dead quiet not until i'd say 20 any sound appears. Rattle wise the body is solid and nothing like a dart.

Only for a while! Wink

My visits recently have been quite frequent (well, my train ticket purchases have been... my actual visits, hmm...)
Wanting to lay off the big trips for a while and stay local. Maybe another trip up towards the New Year period though!

If anyone has taken any photographs in Edinburgh today, feel free to share a link to the photos here. Was very good and I had a great day - can't wait to see all of the photos. Just a shame about my better quality camera packing in. Still took some photos with it mind, just ensured I left enough room to crop them later as I was using my eyes rather than the screen to determine when to take the photo.
En-route back to Newcastle now and the train is pretty much dead..lovely! Smile

Didn't get many I must admit from the garage as the crowds got to me a bit. Did really enjoy it and came home with a destination blind. Was quite interesting seeing 918 in half harlequin and madder, reminded me of 2 face from Batman (geek moment of the day). Gutted to be home though.

That, alongside seeing the new pink cancer research bus (can't remember fleet number and I'm still not prepared to get out of bed! ;p), was the highlight for me at the depot - quite liked the racing thing and the wash too. Did you get to go inside of the 'bus of the future'? Was really quite stunned, but the seats were horrible from a customer's comfort perspective.

918 in 50:50 was just so good to see though. The effort that must have gone into doing that is unreal. Gutted I will miss her out in service (it's a possibility!)
