Lothian 710e (SF74 YMJ) on 9

Lothian 710e (SF74 YMJ), seen here at King’s Building on Route 9, is the first day that Lothian’s BZLs enter public service. When I first rode them, I thought they would be as good as the demonstrator 997 (997 is a really nice vehicle), but I was disappointed. For the ride experience, the announcement is extremely annoying and boring, saying which bus route you can interchange at the stop every stop, and it will also say the night bus routes in daylight, which in my opinion is just pointless and annoying. These 10 brand new electric buses reliability is not at the good standard that Lothian usually provides; 701 and 703 both broke down; others are not much better either. The build quality is absolutely shocking; like this 710, it received some “special care”, as a screw had already fallen off, which is quite disappointing.
