Seems that the Carlisle to Edinburgh via Hawick and Galashiels X95/95 services now have branding - "The Ridings".

Had an email from Lothian this morning regarding the open doors day for 2014.

"Saturday 27 September 11.45 until 16.00 are the details you need.  Look forward to seeing you here."

With Introduction of the Trams into Public Service on Saturday and Changes to the Lothian Buses Network on Sunday just gone, The Airlink Service 100 has been Reduced, which resulted in 2 Buses coming Available, which been Transferred to Longstone Depot, one of which is 938 which was seen on the X25 to Riccarton Yesterday.

Looks appealing for kids. I think it would look just that little bit nicer on a Gemini 2 rather than a Gemini 1. Smile

Six or seven brand new Volvo 7900Hs due to be delivered to Lothian Buses are currently occupying a space at Volvo Bus & Coach's dealer/workshop unit in Washington.

These vehicles are fitted with Euro 6 engine technology, and a total of twenty are due to be delivered to Lothian Buses later this year.

If anyone intends on going for photographs, I'd suggest you try and do it after closing hours (which is only 4pm - 5pm on weekends iirc), because the staff weren't too happy about me taking photographs - even though it was from outside of the fence.

Many of the Gemini double deckers have Gemini 1 body work on the front of the vehicle yet face lifted Gemini 2 rear body work! I was and still am so confused!?

Those are early Volvo B9TLs - the Gemini2 front style wasn't launched until 2009 hence all Geminis built before then had the original style front end but the restyled rear end.
