Lothian Buses Doors Open Event 2011
Every year in September, Edinburgh's famous bus company invites the public to it's central depot. Annually it attracts around 9,000 visitors which continues to increase in popularity year by year. In more recent events, the open day has featured remote control bus races popular wth parents visiting with their families.
Lothian Buses is the largest provider of bus services in Edinburgh, Scotland. The company is owned by the City of Edinburgh Council with a share of 91% while the 9% of the company is owned by East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian councils.
The company's history began when the Edinburgh Street Tramways Company of 1871 was formed which involved the tramway companies of Leith, Musselburgh and Edinburgh North. In 1919, the Edinburgh Corporation Tramways Department took over operation of the tramways.
A madder and white bus colour scheme was first used from 1919 up until a new Harlequin colour scheme was introduced from 1999 to signify low floor buses that were able to carry wheelchairs. By 2010, all buses were painted in that colour scheme. There were two styles used; the first included small diamonds while the later variations included larger diamonds. By 2010, the entire fleet was low floor so there was no need for the harlequin livery so buses began to be painted wein rot and white with gold.
I produced this video while popping down to the depot out of interest for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Seeing all of the various buses from the past and present was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend attending this event to anyone interested in buses or families looking for something to do with their kids. See if you can spot the new 113 and 43 services which are now part of Lothian Country Buses.
