I'm in and around Edinburgh this week, and just went to ASDA for some petrol, and when I arrived 5 buses, all on different services from what I could tell, were all sitting there, unbelievable bus service, don't think you'd catch ANE, GNE or SNE sending 5 buses to a Supermarket at the same time!

Park's of Hamilton have been getting a number of new coaches in their 2015 order... with the sale of several 2011 and 2012 models. The KSK950/1/2/3 Elites on National Express work (they run the 534 through the North East) look set to be replaced very soon. The first two Leopards are now in the fleet, albeit 70 seaters so unlikely to appear on express coach work.
I've attached a latest fleet list that I've worked on... Not in the best format but it'll do for now I guess!
Park's run the National Express 534 service (among many others) and also duplicate the Megabus M20 service many days of the week.

Lothian Buses have as a Result of recent Service Changes Withdrawn Volvo B7RLEs 107(SN04 NGX) and 108(SN04 NGY)
107 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/122507681@...267291861/
108 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/122507681@...082438659/
They are being Stored at Marine Depot along with a few other similar Examples, seems odd they are Withdrawing Vehicles which are only 11 Years Old.
Someone is expecting an imminent delivery of ex-Lothian Darts.
I saw four heading south on the A1 at Doncaster (always Donny) a few hours back.
Didn't manage to catch id's, but it looked like all corporate livery had been removed - apart from a couple, that had some 'green', on the bodywork behind the drivers cab.
Not sure if this is the remnants of an advert or promotional stuff.

I noticed two of Lothian's Presidents seem to have 'hybrid' destination screens. White LED destination and route number, with a traditional blind for the calling points.
