Won't the shorter 72 route make it possible to align it to be every 30mins

The bus company can make it policy that if the buggy isn't folded, or the person refuses to get off the bus and accept a onward travel ticket the bus is so sit stationary until the passenger complies. It shouldn't be up to the driver to decide which persons rights to violate.

The bus can refuse to move until the buggy is folded or the buggy user gets off. Rewarding selfish behaviour just encourages it

Spoiled for choice in uphall! 31, 902, E19, 72 and X19 all going to livingston

Will E20 replace E19? Im guessing once it goes to Livingston it will duplicate the E19

Ember buses already serve P and R and dont cost an arm and a leg

Strange that deer park isnt a stop for E19

I would like to see a bus stop under the M9 at winchburgh so the 909 citylink could give an express service now to edinburgh!

Uphall already would have 72, 31 and 902 to livingston and all would be much quicker. Residents of Pumpherston and uphall station would not have a link to broxburn with this proposal. I think the 74 would have to terminate at broxburn

https://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/25303210.east-coast-buses-drivers-go-strike-pay-row/ This popped up into my news feed, is it still the case that east coast and lothian country are paid less than lothian drivers?

Its probably £10.50 single so they get more money from the government when someone uses their free buspass

Would this cost be less if they put on single deckers? A half hourly 72 wouldn't need a double decker

The x19 is completing with the x38, if you make it every 60mins it will still be transporting air as the x38 is more regular. It must be every 30mins to hit mcgills profits. If anything they should bring back the green arrow Coaches on it!

Realistically the x19 needs to be better than mcgills x38 ot it isnt much of a bus war.

I don't think that's acceptable detour for the majority of the passengers that want to go between newbridge and Bathgate
