Lothian 1107 on Princes Street, Edinburgh.
1107 is seen on Princes Street on day 7 of the Coronavirus lockdown and the second day of Lothian’s emergency timetable introduced on 29 March 2020. New timetables had already been due to come in over the network that day but the effects of the Coronavirus lockdown changed all that. Instead of coping with the Leith Walk tram works diversions (postponed as tram work ceased) , it has had to cut back on routes and frequencies in view of the massive fall in passenger numbers. The eastern end of route 44 has been cut back temporarily from Wallyford to Princes Street leaving buses on the route serving only the western section to and from Balerno. Off peak daytime frequency has also been reduced from every 10 minutes to every 30 minutes. Fleet number 1107 - new in 2019 - is seen against a background of Jenners and the Mercure (formerly Mount Royal) Hotel.
