  • 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.

  • The Construction of the Scottish Military Identity
    RUINOUS PRIDE: THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SCOTTISH MILITARY IDENTITY, 1745-1918 Calum Lister Matheson, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major Professor Guy Chet, Committee Member Michael Leggiere, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Matheson, Calum Lister. Ruinous pride: The construction of the Scottish military identity, 1745-1918. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 120 pp., bibliography, 138 titles. Following the failed Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 many Highlanders fought for the British Army in the Seven Years War and American Revolutionary War. Although these soldiers were primarily motivated by economic considerations, their experiences were romanticized after Waterloo and helped to create a new, unified Scottish martial identity. This militaristic narrative, reinforced throughout the nineteenth century, explains why Scots fought and died in disproportionately large numbers during the First World War.

The tranquil peace of the Edwardian age was shattered as armies all over Europe marched into years of hellish destruction.
