Although Lothian took 15 Enviro400 Hybrids, these were through Scottish government funding. It seems that Lothian Buses have still not forgiven ADL for the TransBus debacle in 2004, as they have otherwise kept to Volvo ever since. Either that, or they find Volvo an excellent manufacturer of buses!

Nice to see Wrightbus get an order as it almost seemed this year was 100% Enviro400. i doubt it will be over the Transbus stuff in 2004 (what happend exactly - was it to do with build quality of some vehicles?) but ADL Is a different company to Transbus,its just that ADL Took over transbus (or it was something on those lines).
