LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in United Kingdom under SC096849, and its current status with Companies House is active. The company was incorporated on 17 January 1986 and lists its registered address as MIDLOTHIAN, United Kingdom. 4 shareholders are on record for LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Companies House and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders

4

Four shareholders are currently on record for LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED, held on the Confirmation Statement (CS01), filed under the Companies Act 2006.

The largest of these is TRANSPORT FOR EDINBURGH LTD, holding 91% — a majority holding — followed by MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL at 5.5%; the remaining 2 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.

Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

5

The Director of LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED on record is Neil Renilson; 5 officers are shown here, filed with Companies House.

The register reports 76 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Management authority at LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.

Group Structure

LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED sits 2 levels below its ultimate parent, THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL, registered in United Kingdom. 16 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 1 jurisdiction. The full chain up to THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by LOTHIAN BUSES LIMITED's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.

Those 16 subsidiaries span United Kingdom jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
