Lothian Buses: Routemaster

English: Routemaster buses operated by Lothian Buses. Lothian inherited some after the aquisition of Mac Tours in April 2002, who had at least three alongside several other various vintage types, used on public sightseeing tours of the city, competing against Lothian's existing tours. Their livery was maroon and cream. Lothian expanded the number by replacing the various vintage buses inherited from Mac with other Routemasters, mostly ERM class examples bought from The Original London Sightseeing Tour in 2002. The company continued to operate the majority of them as their own vintage bus tour, still in Mac Tours red/cream livery. Some also found use on the Edinburgh Tour and Majestic Tour, as well as on contract work.
