Lothian Buses & First Scotland East

RE: Lothian Buses & First Scotland East
New Routes for Volvo B8L/ADL Enviro E400XLE's

These will go on services:-

11 Ocean Terminal - Hyvots Bank
16 Silverknowes - Colinton

from early March 2019, https://www.lothianbuses.com/news/2019/0...-revealed/

I find it odd the batch is being split as Lothian have single routes that have circa 30 vehicle run out figures, I would of thought splitting the batch between two routes isn't placing them on the busiest services unless these are relatively short distance services.

Also I thought Lothian still had a deal with Wrightbus, has that now been cancelled as a result of this, or are those vehicles for this year due as well for other routes or parts of Lothian's empire?
