Ltd. and its subsidiaries but the buses and coaches it directly operated often continued to use the old SMT fleetname or that of Scottish Omnibuses until 1961/63 when the holding element of the company was transferred to what was to become the Scottish Bus Group and later the Scottish Transport Group. At that point SOL adopted Eastern Scottish as its fleetname.<br /> <br /> For many years the company operated a variation on its trunk Edinburgh express coach services; this was a more leisurely two-day service that gave an opportunity for sightseeing in pre-motorway days and involved an overnight hotel stop. Run as both an East and West Coast version the overnight stop was in York for the former and Chester for the latter. Whereas the East Coast route was basically along the old A1 with a deviation through Cambridge the West Coast appears to have been altogether more scenic running via Henley, Oxford, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick, Lichfield and then on to the Lake District before crossing the Border at Gretna Green.<br /> <br /> It is the famous Old Smithy in this border village just north of Carlisle that features on this colourful cover for the 1957 season leaflet. One of the company's touring coaches, looking more of the Bristol than the AEC variety that SOL swapped between, glides along under perfect skies. Sadly the artwork, typical of SOL&quot;s output at the time, is uncredited.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/28083135@N06/">Lost-Albion</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/28083135@N06/54153461571/" title="Chester"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54153461571_a5fe7949d6_m.jpg" width="240" height="122" alt="Chester" /></a></p> <p>Railfreight-liveried 47019 pauses with a PW train on 21 June 1989.
