Platinum Enviro500 (38207)
Weekdays AM peak sees the only dedidcated Enviro500 working on the Platinum nextwork.
The 0604 13 from Scatterburn to Seaton roundtrip that then works back from Scatterburn at 0741 as far as Castle Street for 0825 where the regular Enviro200MMC takes over shadowing 1 minute behind the Enviro500 from Queens Cross. This is to cater for the large volume of school kids travelling to Harlaw.
38207 is seen here on its only run to Seaton at King Street. Note 67085 behind, this would probably have been the bus due to go out on the 13 that replaces the decker but due to a shortage of hydrogens for the X40 (one broke down at Dubford yesterday) it has been put on the X40 daytime run instead.
38207 would later come out in the evening peak for the 1A&2 shortworkings to St Machar Drive from starting at RGU at 1552. This works off either the 21B or 62.
While it is a clever interworking to avoid having a non Platinum bus on all day, it would have been nice to see one of these in Platinum colours and Thornton refurbished.
