First Midland Bluebird Scania N94UD/East Lancs Omnidekka
Discovering the very best of Scotland
Rare vehicles within First Bus are these Omni-dekkas which were ordered in 2005 for two subsidiaries, one of which was First Midland Bluebird. They were ordered at the time TransBus had imploded and as such there was concern about supply of the Trident chassis, whilst Alexander Dennis tried to salvage the business from the wreckage. Initially used for commuter services from West Lothian into Edinburgh, they’ve now migrated to other depots and this one, 36103 (SN05HWL), is running now Balfron Depot on the B10 service. This service is now known as the Discovery Route as it runs through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. Some are route-branded but this one is just painted in that company’s blue livery, which it suits well.
