Lothian Buses - 655 SJ71 HJF - Volvo B5TL ADL Enviro400 MMC

Lothian Buses' SJ71 HJF passes through Picardy Place, operating a service 25 to Heriot-Watt University.

 

This bus was new to Lothian in 2021 as part of a 98-strong order. These 21 and 71 plates replaced older Geminis and Gemini 2s, which were all either sold on to other operators or entered the East Coast Buses or Lothian Country fleets.

 

The B5TL 400MMCs were a new product to ADL, with Lothian being the first buyers, and are now a very common sight in Edinburgh, being found on almost any route but primarily services 3, 8, 19, 21, 23, 25, 29, 34, 35, 37, 44 and 47. They are based at all three city depots, with this specific example (655) based at Longstone.
