(15 Apr 2014, 8:53 am)Tom I've read that Lothian are getting new buses (I'm guessing to replace the Darts/Presidents), and am wondering if anyone has any specific details about the order?

(15 Apr 2014, 9:08 am)Dan Due to enter service in around a month.
I don't have specific details, but I know the 49 is in-line for an upgrade to double deckers - obviously releasing the Volvo B7RLEs (to replace Darts?), hence why these vehicles are being de-branded out of Queen of Scots livery.
There are some single deck hybrid buses (grant from Scottish Green Bus Fund) coming in summer too, though I don't know which service these are for.

Although a few years old, still an excellent read
(17 Apr 2014, 10:34 pm)NEBCD Malarkey 20 more Volvo 7900H's which I think would replace the Darts on the 36 and other Dennis Dart SPD Routes, as for the Vehicles due to Arrive Next Month, I have no idea as it's the first I have read about it. i think the 49 will use whatever Deckers are Spare in the Depot, when I went over to Central, it looked like there was a lot of Geminis sitting spare in the Main Garage.
