    Lothian Group discussion (Lothian City, Lothian Country Bus and East Coast Buses)

    In all fairness there is thousands of new houses in the process of being built. When bought our house at the Craigs Road side we were told the 31 would come along. So I suspect many folk are impatiently waiting for the bus. Considering they are also faffing about with a footbridge over the...

    People most likely don’t get that bus because it’s not Lothian and or that it’s hourly. Granted same goes with the 32, though its route is more appealing. In my opinion I’d most likely use the 32 sometimes heading to Barnton and Cramond, for us the 31 will come handy for the zoo which we have...

    Good spot there with the 32 timetable. If it is via West Craigs along Craigs Road and Turnhouse Road they kept that super quiet!

    The reason for the push back was the proposed bus gate being switched from peak times to 7-7-7. Having recently moved into the area I can genuinely see the bus gate working with the 7-7-7 times. General traffic would need to go via a new junction at Craig’s Road, which in my opinion works...

    The lack of full traffic lights at the Bankhead/Calder Road roundabout never helps the congestion there.

    I used it for the first time on Sunday at Bankhead, Haymarket and the Gyle. Which I had no issues, though my wife at the Gyle had to use a different reader as it wasn't validating, worked ok when she used the same one as me though.

    Edinburgh Tram developments

    Possibly correct, though I have tunnel vision for Lothian busses/tram. That said if I am heading to the airport I am close to the Bankhead tram stop so I tend to get the tram. Otherwise it's the 400 for me.

    Same with the 400, at least however they have a night service though granted it's a single bus heading to the airport. 1732200433 Thought the 300 has been withdrawn? In my opinion the 200 and 400 need a frequency increase and number of stops reduced.

    Only the 100 from Lothian is an express bus, the 200 and 400 stop at every stop along its route. So the tram from Leith in theory would be a far fewer stopping service.

    Was wondering why it's been quiet for the last 30 mins at the new builds next to Sighthill Park. Just truly pathetic and a total ban on the sale of fireworks should happen.

    They weren't hyperlinks when I viewed them. Typical they are now! :s

    With the new route being officially announced, when will the timetables be available? https://www.lothianbuses.com/news/2024/06/lothian-announces-cheaper-fares-and-new-routes-for-west-edinburgh/

    No bud, I am aware it will be Lothian City, but I was getting at how unfair it is when the map for Lothian Country City West effectively puts Balerno right in it.

    Edinburgh & The Lothians Council Tender Services

    Question about the new 32 route. With the fare zones set out by Lothian Country, surely this is blurring the lines massively to what would be a City West zone in Balerno? https://www.lothianbuses.com/our-services/lothian-country/ To me it seems like this will be a Lothian City fare, which...

    From what I gather it will. See Appendix 1, which pretty much confirms it. West Edinburgh new bus tenders
