The Society has reserved a "Private Experience at Port of Leith Distillery" at 11am on Saturday, July 26 at the discounted price of £24 per person (normally £30 per person).

We are delighted to be guests of Mr Dylan Dastey, Head of Engineering/Chief Engineer, who will introduce us to an exclusive ‘Behind the Scenes’ tour of Lothian Buses' Annandale Street Depot - a rare opportunity to see the inner workings “… of one of the UK’s most modern and environmentally-friendly transport networks.”

Lothian Buses have over 100 years of service, operating more than 70 routes with a fleet of over 700 buses—including Edinburgh’s first-ever double-deck electric buses. During the tour, we will be shown areas normally off-limits to the public, including the high-tech control room, garage, and see the cutting-edge electric fleet charging stations.

The visit is limited to a maximum 20, so priority booking will be given to Fellows, on a first come/first served. (If this proves popular, we will re-run again within the next 12 months).

If you would like to join this visit to Lothian Buses, which is free of charge, please email the secretary at secretary@rssa.org.uk.

(Bus access using services 7, 10, 11, 14, 16, 25, & 49 which stop at Elm Row; or Tram stop McDonald Road)
