Seating Capacity Explanations An example of what’s to be found in the Seating Capacity column could look something like this; H44/31D The easiest way to look at this is as three parts; Part One – before the numbers; A - Articulated (sometimes in connection with vehicle type, so AB or AC) B - single deck bus C - single deck coach CO - convertible open top bus (removable roof usually) DP - dual purpose single deck (most often coach seats in a bus body_ H - highbridge double deck (most double deckers now) L - lowbridge double deck (i.e. sunken side gangway layout, mostly preserved vehicles now) M - Minibus (van style conversion) (these can be combined into two i.e. AC is an articulated coach) O - open top bus ST – Standee Tram Part Two – the number; Double deck buses and coaches will show two numbers, separated by a slash – the first part is upstairs, and the bottom is downstairs. Everything else will show the total seats without a slash. Part Three – after the numbers; Minibuses do not normally show anything here (except maybe L for rear lift equipped); but otherwise; C - centre entrance / exit D - dual doors (usually front entrance / centre exit) F - front or forward entrance R - traditional rear open platform (mostly preserved vehicles now) RD - rear platform with platform doors RO - rear platform with open staircase T – Treble door (e.g. AB49T) in articulated vehicles, or Toilet (in coaches) L - Vehicle fitted with wheelchair lift (either rear of a minibus or front/side of a coach, usually) Chassis & Body Type Codes These can be found over the next 15 Pages.

  • RURAL EAST LOTHIAN BUS GROUP (RELBUS) Response to CMA Merger
    RURAL EAST LOTHIAN BUS GROUP (RELBUS) response to CMA Merger Investigation: Completed acquisition by East Coast Buses Limited of the east coast operations of First Scotland East Limited. 1. What do you expect to be the outcome of this merger on bus services in the area? There is already a VASTLY improved level of service to passengers as a result of East Coast Buses Ltd (ECB) having acquired the operations of First Scotland East Ltd. in East Lothian. RELBUS hopes that the merger will be allowed to proceed in the interests of passengers. This covers every aspect of operations viz: Reliability: Because of reduced maintenance facilities at First’s Musselburgh depot, for economic reasons, and the general age of the fleet (some vehicles used on all day service were 17 years old) the reliability of First services was appalling, with drivers often booking buses off service mid journey as a previously logged fault had not been attended to. Because of the location of the Musselburgh depot (North Berwick depot had no spare buses) such breakdowns were rarely replaced resulting in gaps in service and abandoned passengers en route. It was not uncommon for a gap of two hours to occur in the hourly service in evenings, Sundays and through to Edinburgh. It was literally a daily occurrence for such breakdowns to occur. With ECB, their fleet is generally newer, and certainly in superb condition and breakdowns in service are very rare and indeed I personally have not become aware of any. Cleanliness of buses First’s buses were only rarely cleaned both externally and internally.
