Part Routes
Also listed below are 'Part Route termini'.
I plan to photograph those that are used most frequently, e.g. for
all Sunday services, but not the remainder.
Many are used only very occasionally, perhaps for one or two buses
per day in the early mornings.

Lothian Buses -
Termini
Background |
|
'Lothian Buses'
formerly Lothian Region Transport
I thought it might be
interesting to photograph all the Lothian Buses termini in
2007, then see how these places change over the years.
The bus routes now
extend further from the city centre now than they did a few years
ago, to places such as Tranent, Gorebridge, Penicuik and Balerno,
often reaching the areas where the edges of the housing
developments where the fields begin.
'Lothian Buses' operate flat fares. These offer very good
value for some of the longer journeys. The fares now (April
1, 2009) are:
- £1.20 (70p child) for most single journeys on Lothian
Buses.
- £3.00 for a ticket allows travel throughout the day on
most Lothian Buses.
|
|
Map
At some stage I hope to add a map to the EdinPhoto web site,
linked to some of the photos above. I have obtained
permission to include such a map, but have no idea when I'm
going to find the time needed to add it to the site.
|
|
Bus Liveries
The buses in the
photos are in one of two liveries.
- The older buses are
painted in the traditional 'madder and white' colours that have
been used for many decades, or in the case of Route 15, a
variation on this livery, red ('tomato soup' shade) and
white.
- The newer, low-floor buses that now, in 2009, form most
of the
fleet, are in a new 'harlequin' livery, first introduced in the
1990s.
In recent years, some of these buses have been painted in
variations of the harlequin livery, with different colour
roofs and themes to give distinctive
route
branding to some of the routes.
This branding follows the theme of a pack of cards:
Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades, Leader of the Pack, etc. |
|
More Photos Later
I have now photographed almost all the Lothian Buses termini,
but have not yet found the time to add
to this page, when I can find the time to add them.
The photos on this page have been taken from March 2007
onwards. The locations of the termini listed above change
from time to time. For
details of Lothian Buses' services today, please see the
Lothian Buses web site.
