    anyone have an email for them, or do i need to send a pro[per letter?

    "Dear Macewan's coach services,

    I am writing to ask that you remind the driver of your coach which went through Brunstfield at 9.45am this morning, that he should always indicate and check his mirror _before_ engaging the motor and pulling out into the road. He may then remember the shock he got when, after starting to pull out from the bus stop at Holy Corner, he noticed me (petite lady cyclist, not going too fast) alongside him, looking in his window, with a concerned expression on my face.

    I was not able to get the bus number (it was not visible on the rear or side of the bus), but in case you are not sure which driver it was, I am happy to describe or otherwise identify him for you, since I got such a good look at him. I rather suspect he remembers what I look like too. I hope that helps him remember to indicate and check his mirrors everytime he departs a bus stop.

    Thank you"

    Think it's safe to say their drivers are not as 'bike aware' as LB's.

    Same with most 'out of town' companies.

    Maybe L&B should talk to other police forces about what can be done.

    As for bus number it will be the Dumfries bus (101) which I am pretty sure is the only service they operate into Edinburgh.

    And yes their standard of driving is usually pretty shambolic.
