Every year in September, Edinburgh's famous bus company invites the public to it's central depot. Annually it attracts around 9,000 visitors which continues to increase in popularity year by year. In more recent events, the open day has featured remote control bus races popular wth parents visiting with their families.
For children, there is also face painting and a bouncy castle. Another unique experience for visitors to the open day is the bus wash where members of the public can board a double-decker bus then sit while the vehicle goes through the bus was with the benefit of keeping dry. Throughout the day, there are also open top bus tours which drive visitors around the outside and through the inside of garage which provides visitors with an excellent photo opportunity.
Lets discuss the organisation briefly. Lothian Buses is the largest provider of bus services in Edinburgh, Scotland. The company is owned by the City of Edinburgh Council with a share of 91% while the 9% of the company is owned by East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian councils.
The company's history began when the Edinburgh Street Tramways Company of 1871 was formed which involved the tramway companies of Leith, Musselburgh and Edinburgh North. In 1919, the Edinburgh Corporation Tramways Department took over operation of the tramways. In 1919, the first motor buses had arrived where abandonment of the trams took place between 1950 and 1956. At this point, the operations became what is known as the Edinburgh Corporation Transport Department.
Later on in 1975 after the local government reorganisation the ownership of Edinburgh Corporation Transport passed to the Lothian Regional Council. This operation was renamed Lothian Regional Transport. A little more recently in 2013, the Edinburgh Council announced the creation of Transport for Edinburgh to cover both buses and the new tram system.

A madder and white bus colour scheme was first used from 1919 up until a new Harlequin colour scheme was introduced from 1999 to signify low floor buses that were able to carry wheelchairs. By 2010, all buses were painted in that colour scheme. There were two styles used; the first included small diamonds while the later variations included larger diamonds. By 2010, the entire fleet was low floor so there was no need for the harlequin livery so buses began to be painted wein rot and white with gold.
Various routes feature different branding. For example from October 2005, route 3 featured a club class playing cards theme with yellow strips. One of my most eye catching colour schemes which unfortunately not longer remains in the fleet today was service 15 painted in a tomato soup shade of red. A connect theme was used on the 22 buses featuring pink roofs. A service I used very frequently is the 26 and it featured an excellent playing cards heart theme from 2004. The 26 bus passes Edinburgh Zoo so a number of the fleet have names which includes Chimpanzee Bus, Great EscAPE, Tiger Bus, Zebra Bus etc.
Lothian Buses's luxury vehicles are featured on the airlink express route 100. These buses feature dedicated luggage area with CCTV security, leather seating, next stop info and free Wi-fi. Some of the latest buses even feature a female voice reminding passengers what the next stop is.
I produced this video while popping down to the depot out of interest for the first time and wasn't disappointed. Seeing all of the various buses from the past and present was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend attending this event to anyone interested in buses or families looking for something to do with their kids. See if you can spot the new 113 and 43 services which are now part of Lothian Country Buses.

UK Edinburgh bus avoids out of control car on an icy road
This is the bus driver whose skillful swerve ensured her vehicle narrowly avoided crashing into an out-of-control car on an icy road.
Gareth Smith saw the bus come over a hill at Frogston Brae, Edinburgh and head straight towards the car that had veered over to the wrong side of the road.
The crash seemed inevitable and Mr Smith can be heard shouting in shock and horror - only for the heroic bus driver to dramatically swerve around the car before also dodging Mr Smith's van.
But astonishing footage shows how bus driver Charmaine Laurie, 45, avoided a collision by inches.
'It happened quite quickly. It’s hard to describe - my heart was in my mouth,' she told the Edinburgh Evening News. 'I actually thought I was going to hit her.'
Mr Smith can be heard yelling: 'Oh my god, oh my god, no!'
He was stuck on a hill in his van when he saw the terrifying near-miss.
The bus driver somehow managed to swerve and drift around the car at the last minute, while also maneuvering his vehicle to avoid colliding with Mr Smith, 22.
