i thought i would give some helpful inforation that may be a slight assistant. the reason why the new streetdeck buses have been delivered or will be delivered to lothain are to release the original airlink buses onto a different service, i think it is the service that has the last remaining of the older plaxtn presidents and 51 plates that either will be sold or should be scrapped depending of the quality and the performance of them
. but please dont have a go at me if this is not true because i am just telling you the information that a driver on the 25 bus that goes passed haymarket train station told me

Also, Welcome to the forum buss14

It left Lothian on 11th August 2015, and is currently at Volvo Truck & Bus Centre (Midlands) in Coventry.

Something I hadn't really managed on previous trips up to Fife and Angus.

The NX logos seem to have all gone, with the 'Xplore Dundee' vinyls attached.
Some vehicles seemed to have the new livery. Others didn't. Those in the old livery, still had the National Express logo markings visible from the old vinyls.

The fleet seemed fairly modern and unremarkable, although the Presidents in the fleet have 'round' headlights, similar to Alexander Alx vehicles.
I hadn't noticed this previously.

Managed to catch a glimpse of their Eclipses. Several have famous names attached to them, including 'Lorraine Kelly'.

Stagecoach had a smaller presence. Although they seemed to have some intercity work floating about

(11 Oct 2015, 4:22 pm)GuyParkRoyal wrote I like the new Xplore Dundee green livery compared to the old red and white National Express regional livery. I managed to get a some photos of the new livery and a selection of other NX Dundee buses including the Lorraine Kelly. Examples in the link below.
