Scotland Bus Operations
Scotland Bus Operations
I'm off to Edinburgh Zoo with my Business class in a fortnight's time and...surprise surprise... they left me in charge of transport, so it's my responsibility to sort out the trains and the buses.
Anyway, a couple of small questions regarding the buses:
1) Are Gemini's usually operated on the 31?
2) What usually operates on the 12/X12?
Thank you
Yet again, your photographs are inspiring and give me idea's to try new idea's. So glad I'm getting my Lothian fix on Monday.

Lothian's 367 and 382 both now wear a very striking allover ad for GoEdinburgh2016. An example (367) is demonstrated on the photograph below:

Also noticed at Seafield works are a set of harlequin liveried tridents 5 or 6 of them being plain white. Not sure if repaints as Longstone depot has recently been doing that.

Also as not pointed out vehicles 101 onwards for service 30 are getting "Get there greener" decal applied above the windows.

Forgot to upload this link from my adventures to the west coast of Scotland the other week.
Can anyone make sense of this or the ticket options available?
* Your in zone 1 and going to zone 2 - you have to buy a zone 6 ticket.
* Your in zone 2 and your heading off to zone 5 - you have to buy a zone 6 ticket.
Try buying them for the day...
It was cheaper apparently, buying two singles in zone 2, than a day ticket. The two singles were £3.65 each. A weeks ticket is £17.00....
A child ticket (which must be used before 7pm) was apparently £1 and could only be used within that zone.

Mindboggling!
Big fan of independents, but not when they're as bonkers as some of our local plc's.
Bet you can never guess which zone the major competition operates in?
(21 Aug 2013, 5:38 pm)BJ10VUS Would it be zone 1 by any chance?
That map is bonkers!

Believe it not, when you follow the coloured boundary lines opposed to the zone labelling it does make sense. However, I do agree that it appear quite confusing upon initial viewing.
One question though!
Where is 'Zone 8'? - I can't seem to find it anywhere.
There reason I ask is because the 7-zone ticket enables you to travel 'anywhere' whereas the 8-zone ticket is valid for travel only in zone eight.
