The back of the bus cannae sing!

Short of a blip I was forced to blip the back of a Lothian bus (but it is low emission!).

Here is some info about fab Lothian buses:

Lothian Buses Plc is the only municipal bus company in Scotland and the largest provider of bus services in Edinburgh, Scotland. City of Edinburgh Council own 91% of the company with the remainder being owned by East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian councils. As well as serving Edinburgh, Lothian Buses also serve parts of East Lothian and Midlothian. The company is owned by all 4 councils and this has given rise to the slogan your locally owned buses although there are currently no services to West Lothian. Lothian Buses are registered in Annandale Street, Edinburgh as company number SC096849.

Lothian Buses will be fully integrated with the forthcoming Edinburgh tram network, with both enterprises being owned by the council. Lothian services will interchange with the trams at various strategic locations. The now closed guided busway element of Fastlink will form part of phase 1a of the tram permanent way, replacing the busway. The new trams are in the same "harlequin" livery used on new Lothian buses.As a consequence of the trams, the fleet will be reduced in size by 19 buses.

Trams....SOB!
