(09 May 2021, 2:28 pm)Malarkey wrote 90 of them due apparently which I would imagine will see off some of B9TL's that Lothian have fleet numbered 301-400/874-927/951-960/1000-1027 & 1050/1141-1153
More than likely will 301-350 & 874-927 as these are all 57/08/58/09 & 59 plated while the remainder are 11 reg and the batch 1000-27/1050 & 1141-1153 were what they bought up from London.
Currently a batch of 58 Volvo B5TL / ADL E400MMC are being delivered to Lothian which will be numbered 601 - 658.
Lothian had placed an order for 98 Volvo double deck buses with ADL bodies, there has been discussion on what chassis the other 40 will be, either more B5TLs or some B8Ls but I have heard that Lothian are having problems with the longer B8Ls and when they will arrive?
8 of the 98 are due for East Coast Buses and these 8 may be used to convert ECB single deck routes to double deck?
