This bus was new to Lothian Buses as 430 in 2015.
Seen here on Chorstorphan Road.
This is the first batch of B5TLs with the new Gemini 3 body. The back as only subtle changes, but the front is vastly restyled. This is a very unusual and rather striking change to, what was a front with curved edges, that were pleasing to the eye, as far as bus bodies go.
With this new front, it takes a lot of getting used to, since this is the first time angular lines have been used in a new design for any Gemini body.
Lothian have again changed the Airlink livery to a much lighter blue (possibly left over paint from the Penecuik buses?). With the blue LED screens, at first glance, is a little ouch on the eyes with so much blue. This combination really makes for a bus that really stands out. The blue LED screen will help passengers see the bus from a good distance.
