Lothian Buses: Volvo B7RLE / Wrightbus Eclipse Urban 1 (07 reg)

English: The third (of five) batches of the Volvo B7RLE / Wrightbus Eclipse Urban 1 fleet of buses operated by Lothian Buses. A total of 15 were delivered in May 2007, all bearing 07 registrations (SK07 Cxx). They were assigned fleet numbers beginning at 136, continuing on from batch 2. They were delivered in Harlequin livery with a new major red-based branding (for route 29), in the Playing Card series - The Best Deal. As part of the transition to Classic livery, which saw all previous schemes being either replaced with new ones or be discontinued, the first 3 buses received plain Classic livery, while the remaining 12 batch received an updated route 29 scheme now in orange - The Stock Brig. This branding is in the process of being removed, leaving the plain Classic base.
