But of course, you can't mention Edinburgh's buses these days without referencing East Lothian's latest incomer: the McGill's Group. Strong-arming their way into the city and suburbs following the collapse of First Scotland East, among the operations they gained was First's competitive Bright Bus Tours division, using a fleet of... older vehicles in trademark 'bright' liveires when compared to Lothian's purpose-built new fleet. Of course, the real competition is found when it comes to prices: for a one-day adult ticket, McGill's charges you £16, while Lothian charge you £18 on it's individual network. McGill's, you cheeky undercutting so-and-so's...
Not exactly the most attractive vehicle compared to it's competition, but certainly a bit of a bargain for an individual rider, McGill's Bright Bus Tours' 8931, a 2009 ADL Enviro400 new to Travel London as their 9434 and previously owned by First Scotland East as their 32732, is seen at the Ocean Terminal on whatever value sightseeing route Bright Bus runs.
