11's last dance... - a photo on Flickriver

11's last dance...

            11 was new to Lothian Buses in 2014 as 11.
She is seen here at Seafield Works...

Before I start listing the past and state of the sad fire, please note that it's not Lothian's fault that the fire happened and it was an unfortunate event. The company is not at fault for the unlikely disaster.

In 2014, 11 was produced with a batch of 20, and entered service on August 2014 at Longstone Depot, mainly for the Service 30.

In 2019, 11 was refurbished and repainted into the Fleet of the Future livery, this is the livery it would end its fate on.

In 2021, 11 was transferred to Central depot, this is the depot where the bus would eventually end its days with.

In 2023, the bus would catch fire at Clermiston Road. There would eventually be a video published online showing the state of the fire.

The vehicle has been captured by a few photographers after its fire, including atfd26, George Figuerola, Jason GIllblox. They all published photos of the bus and you can visit their photos on their profiles, and in the tagged people section to see more of their fantastic photos.

So, what's next?

The possibility of recovery is very low, because of the fire damage, and because of its age. Sadly it looks to be the end of bus 11.

14 has since entered service for the first time in 18 months, which is a pleasant surprise for most people.

15 has also been moved to Seafield works, you can see that in the mix as well as 1057, it makes you wonder what Lothian have planned, could a possible return of 15 be on the cards?

For obvious reasons, Lothian will be wanting to hide this vehicle from the public as much as they can, this will involve it getting tarpaulin over the rear of the bus (it was there before I went to Seafield), and they will obviously try and investigate the fire, and how they can prevent it happening in the future.
