Looking forward to the Cavalcade this Sunday – here’s the line up!

Lothian have announced the vehicles taking part in this Sunday’s cavalcade and display. The buses they are rolling out include some of the company’s oldest dating back to the 1940s. The bus company is celebrating its centenary all year.

The Cavalcade will leave from the Haymarket area at 10.00am and will proceed onto Shandwick Place, Princes Street, Waterloo Place and will end at Regent Road.

Following the procession, the twenty-six vehicles will be on display on George Street between Hanover Street and St Andrew Square from 11.00am until 2.00pm for all of you bus fanatics to get a closer look.

Gaynor Marshall, Lothian’s Communications Director said: “We are delighted to be marking Lothian’s contribution to our city over the last 100 years with our cavalcade and display this Sunday. We hope to see as many employees, members of the local community and visitors as possible along to help us celebrate this truly historic moment in our company’s history.”
