115 at the Union Canal

Crossing the bridge over the Union Canal here's Volvo 115 on a beautiful day

approaching the shopping precinct at Westside Plaza, Wester Hailes. It's a

busy and complicated area with two bus lanes used for terminus and

intermediate stopping. Buses going one way (and those turning) use one lane

while the other lane is used for buses returning into town in an almost

figure 8 diagram. Very confusing indeed for the bus spotter and I never know

which way they're coming from or going next!

 

Good view here of the larger wing mirrors and note one of Edinburgh's seven

hills at Corstorphine in the distance. Now just over there you'll find all

the zoo buses turning up at Clerwood.

 

A very different scene compared to where we are here with Service 30. From here this bus will usually travel a further couple of miles to the very remote and lonely terminus at

Clovenstone, but here note the somewhat premature change of screen to St. Andrew's Square indicating that this bus is perhaps terminating at Westside Plaza (some do some don't!).
