500 at Waverley Bridge

            500 was new to Lothian Buses in 2017 as 500.
She is seen here at Waverley Bridge.

In 2017, Lothian Buses looked to refresh the Airlink fleet, with 15 brand new Volvo B5TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 3s joining the fleet, which displaced former vehicles on the route from 2015, however 427 did stay in the Airlink fleet for a period of time in Airlink colours and eventually being painted madder retaining part Airlink interior.

In 2019, these vehicles were replaced by 15 Volvo B8L ADL Enviro400 XLB buses. These buses are much larger and are useful in key periods of the day.

In turn, retaining their current paintjobs, 496-510 would move to Longstone depot for Skylink Services 200, 300 and 400. These vehicles would receive new vinyls in the process.

Now, the Service 100 hasn't been going to Waverley Bridge since 2020 with council plans to make it fully pedestrianised, however in 2024, due to South Saint David Street closing partly for repairs, Airlink is back at Waverley Bridge for two more years.
