McGill’s Scotland East 8941 at Regent Road, Edinburgh

            A recent transfer to Livingston depot, 8941 was seen at Regent Road, Edinburgh wearing the livery and route branding applied by its previous owners, First Scotland East (previous fleet number 39303). The vehicle has likely operated into the city on the X24 from Deans North and Livingston Centre via Broxburn and Corstorphine. The vehicle was new in 2015 for Stirling Unilink services but more recently had been branded for route 38 (Stirling-Bannockburn- Forth Valley Royal Hospital - Larbert - Falkirk). McGill’s took over the First Scotland East operations on 20 September 2022 and will in future be using the Midland Bluebird fleetname for its operations from Balfron, Bannockburn and Larbert depots, while services from Livingston will use the Eastern Scottish fleetname. Midland was the fleet name adopted in 1961 for the Falkirk based subsidiary when the Alexander empire was split into three area companies. Midland or Midland Bluebird has continued to feature in fleetnames with successor operations since then. West Lothian saw some of SMT’s earliest routes and in 1965, its nationalised successor, Scottish Omnibuses, adopted Eastern Scottish as its fleetname. This description was updated after corrections from Graham Alexander and Scotrail 158725 to whom thanks are due.
