    First Scotland East (Midland Bluebird and West Lothian operations)

    When I'm waiting (at the stop) for a bus behind the one currently loading, and the driver let's random people on the bus it does make me angry. Sadly the whole bus stop etiquette of queuing in an orderly fashion has gone right out the window these days - some stops are worse than a rugby scrum.

    Indeed, that was the last local service to use Waverly Bridge, then just the 100 (and tours) Agreed, that change to the 36 did wonders for the route, it gave Napier students a link from Bruntsfield (and Merchiston Campus) with Morningside, the Glenlockhart Campus (and with a short walk...

    The 36 did go to Holyrood, before the 6, then it was split off to be the 6 from St Andrew Square - Waverley Bridge - St. Mary Street - Holyrood Rd. To the Terminus. The 36 was rerouted and extended up Lothian Road and Morningside towards Napier University's (then new) Glenlochart Campus IIRC.

    Thanks! I know the school journey was handy for Broughton High start time, but was never sure why run it so close to the regular service, other than the extra capacity. Also interesting to note that the C38 regular service went to Granton, not the School day service, as Lothian did.

    Personally, I've never had any issues travelling on the 7900's and have even done Longstone to Musselburgh on them more than once - (admittedly It was for leisure purposes meeting a friend and I always found it to be a enjoyable journey) I do understand however, that as others have said, they...
