I used to drive this route back in the early 90’s when I worked for Eastern Scottish (SMT). My favourite bus was a Van Hool that was powerful and had an eight speed manual transmission. The route was simpler back then, you’d exit the M8 onto Cathedral St. Sometimes the route would carry onto the airport or Gourock. Brought back a lot of great memories watching this, thanks.

Good quality. I normally get the train so it's nice to see what I'm missing (apart from 35 minutes of my life).

When I see these bus videos they always remind me of The Big Bus, a movie from the 70's or 80's ... they had a bowling alley on the bus 🤣

Loved the ride, very enjoyable. except the roads until the bus reaches The Marriott at Maybury -- Gogarburn/A8 from the depot was kind of disastrous lol . Thanks for sharing.

Edinburgh’s roads are an utter disgrace! Been up better farm roads 🚜. CoEDC spent all their Transport Budget on an unnecessary tram 🚋🚋🚋🚋 that goes somewhere to nowhere 🙁. Why so many Edinburgh residents drive big Chelsea Tractors 🚙!

We’ve got those clips from Elites as well. But we prefer Panoramas more as they are spacious and powerful.

The bus lanes out of the West End of Edinburgh are a complete waste of road space. No buses using them because of parked cars/taxis/vans. No bus priorities at junctions.

@Eurasia_Transport_Explorer : FYI at 31:00min “Next Top: Station Road” flashes up. Should read “Next Stop: RATHO Station Road”. See ‘Ratho Station’ road sign at 32:09min for confirmation. May wish to edit this into your otherwise excellent video 🙂.
@davidpanton31923 жыл бұрын
Sorry, that's not right. The village is called Ratho Station but the road is called just Station Road as Google StreetView will confirm. I really must get out more.

@adriancarter28633 жыл бұрын
Blame the atrocious condition of both Edinburgh and Glasgow’s roads before blaming the bus 🚎. Both councils are guilty of spending money on shiny new unnecessary pet projects rather than getting on and fixing the roads, a lot of which can be blamed on the Utilities for not properly reinstating the road’s surface correctly!
