Lothian Buses: Volvo B7RLE / Wrightbus Eclipse Urban 1 (04 & 55 reg)

English: The first and second (of five) batches of the Volvo B7RLE / Wrightbus Eclipse Urban 1 fleet of buses operated by Lothian Buses. The first batch totaled 30, being delivered form Jun-Aug 2004, bearing 04 registrations (SN04 Nxx), and with fleetnumbers from 101. The second added 5 more in December 2005, on 55 registrations (SN55 Bxx), numbered from 131 (after the first batch). They were delivered in Harlequin livery (branded), and formed the single-decker portion of guided bus fleet. They were subsequently repainted into Classic livery (unbranded). They have since received exhaust emission reduction technology, leading to the application of Get There Greener branding.
