Nice!

That Harlequin livery reminds me of "Me Too!" (Riversea Buses), don't know if you've seen it, it's a kids TV programme on Cbeebies, which has a fictitious bus company in it - they use the Harlequin bus depot and buses in it.

It was actually Lothian Buses vehicles that were used.And the Depot where the "Bus Cleaner" worked was our Marine Depot near Portobello in Edinburgh.I was actually waiting on someone making these liveries but have to admit having worked for Lothian for 7 years I prefer the original white and madder livery without the gold striping.And I definatly DO NOT like the route branding that the company seems so set on nowadays.Any way good effort and keep up the good work.

Bobbi the Bus Cleaner ........ yes I recognised some of the destination blinds as Edinburgh destinations.

Love the second one! Not sure on the top one though, Looks to busy in my opinion

Brilliant work though all the same

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Daniel...
Actually I will be creating the routes of edinburgh..
but currently I am busy in studies will resume the project from april 26th...
The first route will be 25 or 22...
can you make the special liveries ? like the routes 22,44,3,26... ? as they will perfectly go with the map...

@ chrisrose1993
The second one is the new one which they have put for the last 2 or 3 months for some buses. I like the old one, feels unique as new one is too plain.

What programme do you use to paint your buses? I use Paint.NET but it isn't great..

Thanks for the comments guys

I've been trying out a trial of Photohop, but I've mainly been using Gimp.

I live just outside Edinburgh. Lived in Edinburgh until I was about 10, but still go there a lot.

Don't know what I'll work on after these.

nice work.

Thanks


I've completed the route branded double deckers now, so I'll get those uploaded sometime tomorrow.

There are two liveries that were only ever applied to the single deckers (29 and 49). Would you like me to repaint these onto the double deckers?

May be yes or no.. your wish
But will be useful in my Edinburgh map...

I've uploaded the Harlequin route branded repaints now. Updated the OP with a link.

Superb, I live in Fife and I go to Edinburgh often for a bit of "anoraking". Nice job indeed. Will be looking forward to see some new branded madder/white repainted on this and also a Edinburgh map. Pitty its not on our side of the road with a few B9TLs

I really like it !

It must just look great to see real buses with repaints like that.
Wish I could not drive one ;(

Regards.

Thanks for the comments

A few WIP shots of the next pack I'm working on:

The Lady Victoria


The Pen-Y-Cog


The Mill Race


Still got to do The Stock Brig and The Queen of Scots, then should be ready to upload.

That is superb. If only you can get gold fleet numbers aswell. Good job mate

Don't forget to model my house perfectly if you're doing the 25!

I've updated the OP with a link to the Madder and White route brandings.

I am using these in my Edinburgh map, which will eventually cover the whole city. I am starting at the Colinton end, near where I live, and will progress through Morningside, Longstone etc, spreading out slowly and will release the map in parts with "short-workings"/part routes e.g. 16 (Colinton - Morningside), 4 (Hillend - Slateford) - the full routes will be included once the map is finished (or at least the roads for that particular route). I will keep objects to a minimum so that you can load the whole city and it will still be playable (that instead of a map for each group of routes). I will add both Lothian Buses and First Scotland West drivable routes and AI routes for Stagecoach/Citylink/Park's and the longer First routes. I will also add the routes of my fictitious fleet named Harlequin Buses (which does not have a Harlequin livery ).

Should I link to the liveries or pack them in my mod?

I drive for Lothian so if you have any questions or queries regarding routes etc feel free to ask.

When will the Edinburgh map be released

Hi, feel free to pack them in your mod if you like.

I'll also be adding the new route branded no. 5 to the pack soon.
