(30 Aug 2014, 8:06 pm)tyresmoke 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!

Parked outside Alexander Dennis (Camelon) for over a week now has been E200 YX64VPG with vinals at the top of the front windscreen for "Lochs Motor Transport Ltd".
I presume as it is a E200 with a Yorkshire plate that this was built at Scarborough, and that it was taken to Falkirk for collection?
Lochs Motor Transport are based on the Isle of Lewis,
Totally irrelevant, but everytime you mention Falkirk/Camelon, I think of the Best Western I used to stay in up there.
The car park behind the hotel attracted all sorts - normally involving flashing headlights and steamy windows!
Third time in three months apparently

The first of Lothian's B5TL's has been spotted near the Wrightbus Factory in Ballymena, Ahead of Delivery to Lothian, I wonder if these will be making a Pit Stop at Volvo Bus and Coach in Washington like the 7900H's did a few months back.

Winners of the SGBF5 are:
(29 Oct 2014, 11:10 pm)Dan I believe these are to be assigned to services 3 and 33, replacing the current Wright bodied double decks that operate on these services.
Without looking at my e-mails, I can't confirm whether these cascaded double decks are due to replace the last remaining 25ish Darts in the fleet or whether further 7900s will achieve this.
Interestingly, a Dart was shown at the Open Doors Day to be trialling some sort of system to upgrade the vehicle's Euro status. I wrote something on the caption of the photo about the system - if anyone fancies digging through my photos to find it.
Some of the Darts are also having their seats reupholstered. Whether this is to increase sale value (unlikely - as this didn't happen with the Y-reg Darts) or suggests further use in the fleet, I do not know.

I see Lothian's Plaxton President 34 (W364 PSX) has been transformed into the Grotto bus this year!

(31 Mar 2015, 9:46 am)Scott I am guessing that these will take over from the 2 Tridents.

The new and rather poor route branding has been unveiled on the B9TLs for service 29 replacing the B7RLEs due to capacity issues...
