Gone properly East 52
This has been one of the hardest photo's to know what to say as there is actually quite a lot that could be relevant and interesting hence why I have left it so late in the year to get typed.
After months of trying I finally managed a bus trip down to Dunbar, officially the most Eastern part of Scotland that a regular Lothian (East Coast) service goes and I'm not going to lie some incentive was that I was losing my free bus pass and made the most of a free trip. But when I got there was actually surprised about how big and how many walks there were there so spend most of the afternoon walking along the coastal paths.
Lothian have served Dunbar since the summer of 2016, more precisely the 14th August after first pulled out and supplied Dunbar with service 107 rebranded to the X7 to support its limited stop nature. Currently it runs every 30 minutes from the West End to Spott Road ASDA.
Speaking of which, the latter is where this photo is located after four to five hours of exploring I needed to head to the shops and was aware of their being an ASDA around the terminus however, I did not realise that it was actually about 25 minute walk along a busy road. So, having finished my shop getting lost in the supermarket more than I should have, I made my way to the bus stop.
The bus there, East Coast Buses 52, situated at the terminus sitting in perfect lighting conditions and with the bus not going anywhere it allowed for a rather smooth shot with a rather nice skyline and trees complementing the green and white exterior.
I remember my first couple of shots of 52 back in the days of its ridiculous fleet number, remember those extra 000s. Back on the launch at Archerfield walled garden a day that I remember fondly. But since then I have had very little contacted with 52, in fact this was my first rides on it (got it there and back) and a photo was definitely due.
So, here we see East Coast buses 52 about to start the journey back to Edinburgh on a late afternoon X7 in rather glorious October conditions.
