Where can you find the timetables? I've had a look round the website and only seem to be able to see the current times.

Lots of construction activity on the go for some months, and supposedly the junction to be open by December this year, according to a recent (20 April) news item posted on the East Lothian Council website. Also, some diversions off the A1 will take place in late May/June.

As far as I can see the 113 and 124 will only be limited stop between Magdalene Drive and Abbeyhill. There's a diagrammatic map on the Lothian website if you click on the East Coast Buses section of the proposed changes. Therefore Milton Rd will actually have an improved service with the 124...

I don't know the area but the Lothian app shows no service on the 38 and 42 to Craigleith Retail Park due to a road closure. Might this have something to do with it?

...or Lothian Coastal.

Nice to see paper timetables available for all routes on the 109 this morning, two weeks ahead of the changes coming into effect. Excellent service by Prentice, especially when many operators rely on online only. Interesting to see how the DRT will work in practice with 3 timings into Tranent...

Travelled from Edinburgh to Kings Cross last Thursday and returned on Saturday, both on LNER. First time for a couple of years. Use of the buffet counter was discouraged due to space and crowding, but the at seat service via a QR code on the seat back seemed pretty good with refreshments...

I disagree with the view that the current northbound stop holds everything up. Certainly at busier times, effectively most of the day, the "pinch point" is the light controlled Princes Street junction. Only a relatively small platoon of traffic gets through on every light change and it never...

It's been operating a 30 min service for a few weeks.

You can't really blame spaces for people for the congestion at North Bridge / Princes St which, I agree, is a real problem. It's principally due to the long running North Bridge major structural repairs and the consequential single lane in each direction and limited space for queueing at the...

Horsburgh currently run via the bypass on the X40 from the Royal Infirmary to St John's Hospital via all stops to Gilmerton, Hermiston P&R, and Livingston. It's a 7 day a week, hourly service. Does it have huge delay problems? I can't see that it has a tracker so can't check it. If you can't...

It's interesting to see how much knowledge there is out there, and how much usage there is, of the X40 Horsburgh operated bus that uses the bypass to get from Edinburgh Royal Infirmary to St. John's Hospital in Livingston. I came across this service by accident and never knew it existed. The...

It's really odd that there is such a variation across the country. Here in Edinburgh there's a pretty good service on Christmas Day, never mind Boxing Day. From my part of the city 3 buses per hour during the day time and twice hourly till about 10 or 11pm. Loadings are pretty good, especially...

1607376066 Just looked up the advance fare Brussels to Basel on Rail Europe for a random date - 3rd Feb. Looks like £37, four times daily via Koln in 6hrs 22mins. Pretty good value if you can book a few weeks ahead.

Pretty comprehensive service in Edinburgh, similar to previous years on all days. As an example three buses per hour on Christmas Day from Portobello to city (26 and 124) with buses running till late evening. One major difference, no night buses on 1st Jan as the huge Hogmanay event is...

An interesting programme on the World Service this afternoon re solar power and trains in Australia, India and the UK. Available on BBC Sounds - search for People Fixing the World or look at the schedule (1506 on 24 Nov).

Allow 40 mins travel time from Edinburgh Airport to city centre. Slightly less to Haymarket. 100 bus (every 12 mins) is slightly cheaper than tram (every 10-15 mins). Both pass directly outside Haymarket Station and close to Waverley.

The planning strategy for Edinburgh that was consulted on pre lockdown included one option for the entirety of the car dealership strip to be potential housing land. Long term this does seem sensible, at least at the Portobello end (furthest from the ongoing issues of smell from the sewage...

Thanks for your correction, yes I mean aerosol droplets. I thought that there is very little evidence of how transmission occurs. From what I read aerosol droplets seem to be rising up the agenda as a possible issue, whereas early on in the pandemic the main concern seemed to be ballistic...

Is anyone familiar with the technical details, design and maintenance of the ventilation systems on different train types? After reading up on this re. a recent air journey (20 changes per hour, air travels downwards towards floor etc) I wonder how that compares with trains. Bearing I'm mind...
