It has an allison gearbox

@@BlazeClone Would you say that all of the YX11s have the same gearbox?

There are many darts that have Allison gearboxes, and they both have cummins engines. So its not too surprising to me

It's great on the inside as well

What's wrong with their old announcements?

@@danieldabloxgamer9205 No idea

@@GarfieldtheDestroyer The upcoming stop voice rubbish, i never saw on stagecoach east midlands, they say next stop and the route number

@@GarfieldtheDestroyer more expensive to add new announcements each time rather than get an AI to pronounce it for much cheaper if not free

@@BlazeClone They already had most of the voice lines they would've needed though, only additional things they'd need to record would be things like the diversion warning and the "X minutes to" callout. The robot isn't that bad though, I'm more bothered about the graphics looking very cheap/out of line with the Lothian brand

i'm not a fan of the "Interchange with routes ....." bit. Imo it should only list them at major stops

As a driver I hate them

@@BlazeClone like Cameron toll Royal botanic Gardens Haymarket

@@BlazeClonejk I haven’t been on one I’ve just heard it

i'm well aware

They were on delivery to ember

no clue lol, its gone now anyways

And that ALX400 in stagecoach 0:59

@@neilpurves2807 i still don't know lol

It was branding a movie I can tell its the boss baby or top cat

And how did you get in

yeah its no longer at lothian so its being used as a demo for other companies

it only runs between gala and hawick and it happens quite often

@@BlazeClone put on shield to Edinburgh and England, to Edinburgh not

Its not exclusive as they also run peak time runs such as this one and occasionally run other routes but essentially its because the 10 operates on spare buses, and 926-930 serve as the main spare buses at the moment. 931-936 are operated by lothian country, with the exception of 932 due to it being deroofed not too long ago hope this helps

Has since been repainted

Back seats were hard to catch on one of the prestige preservation gemini’s as a lot of the time the staff were all sitting there

its been scrapped since lol

@@BlazeClone do you mean the route?

​ @brodiescott1510 no the bus, the route is still running

@@BlazeClone are you sure? It I saw. It on Friday.

@@brodiescott1510 you are mistaken, they're running the route with eclipse 2s instead. One of these eclipse 2s is in the same livery

I drove these when brand new, they were horrendously slow and particularly dangerous at Hardengreen Roundabout as they had been screwed down to be even more economical. Shame the timetable wasn't adjusted to match their pedestrian performance compared to the other B7RLEs, 5 hours on the 49 on a Sunday was hell. They fitted a heater under the drivers seat making it too high for most drivers and all the seats were recycled leather (if I remember rightly) so the interior had a weird smell. The 11-plate B9TL were also screwed down when new. Its possible that the new regime at LB has returned them to standard performance settings.

@@FrustratedApe They would've been changed when they were transferred to Lothian Country Buses for the 104 I would think?

its likely been scrapped since they stopped public operations not long after this was filmed

pretty sure it was yeah 13/10/2023, its at the bottom of the description

yeah.. its over 8 hours away by car, and possibly similar by train, i would need to stay at a hotel to go there

Why the hell is Fireman, Sam? Commenting on a bus. Video

ty

its not really preservation, after all it has arriva moquette and a custom livery but it is good that they've held onto it

@@BlazeClone deffo preserved any bus kept at SVBM is preserved and most buses kept at Lathalmond are part of the museums collection

​@@callumdelaney7884 Arriva moquette with a Scottish vintage bus museum livery isn't really preserved... At the events its mainly used for shuttles, since it has the event branding

U know what u believe what you want I’m done talking about this not interested in arguing

​@@BlazeClone This bus was new to Lothian Buses plc as 61 with maroon route branding for service 22 (Gyle Centre - Ocean Terminal). The original 75 (SK52 OJV) was destroyed by a fire when it was 6 months old, so a replacement 75 (SN53 JNO) was added to Lothian's 53 plate order. The second SK52 Dart destroyed by a fire in 2007 was 69 (SK52 OJO).

I’m pretty sure that the 49 won’t be back. Best case scenario is that the 46 gets increased to every 20 mins, which given the fact the 48 probably needs that already I can see happening to the 46 at the same time.

How about if the 31 will be extended to Roswell
