(02 Jul 2016, 7:42 pm)DunsBus It's actually the company's new livery.   Smile

Thanks - i don't see what is wrong with the one worn by most of the current fleet mind. Infact, i think it looks nicer than that new livery.

I agree. I don't think the new looks as smart as the previous.

Volvo B7RLE RIG 6490 (SF55 HHE) is the first bus to wear the new East Coast Buses livery. It has been given the fleet number 10194. The registration is currently causing debate as to whether it is just for show (although i can't see it):

I'm surprised at them having destinations to be honest - doesn't happen to involve DDA by any chance? I imagine the strip would have been disguised had it been the standard (although not for much longer from what I've read!) display most of the vehicles carry.

Lothian Scania Omnidekka 989 (SN57 DBU) has re-entered service after 4 years out of service following fire damage it received in May 2012:

As can probably be seen, it has been fitted with the new LED destinations as carried by Gemini 701.

The Routemasters operating on the Mac Tours service (and indeed the service itself) operated for the final time on Saturday 29th October.

http://edinburghtour.com/news/last-days-...utemasters

The article has strongly suggested that the RMs will be preserved (and rightly so - they are the longest Routemasters in existence due to being lengthened when they arrived from London).
