For the best, as drivers number for these services was causing the issue in West lothian and forcing cancellations, that should now be the only target for first to ensure a proper service is in place for people who choose or due to location are forced to use First bus. It may take time but...

You still there with the agency? :) 1658337935 I would imagine up through Springfield is only alternative route. 1658338113 Or is it just not being posted on the Twitter feed? It would seem reading some of the tweets there are still issues although obviously not on the scale of previous months.

Exactly, and for such an offer who's to say other transport companies wouldn't be very interested?

Why would West Lothian Council give exclusivity to Edinburgh buses? Surely a case for any bus company to put forward a case for this if it were on offer?

I never said they didn't. If you read the whole post it was about where the routes operate from and what is most cost effective for Lothian. I have no doubt Lothian shall continue to operate within West Lothian.

Changes are roughly Service 21 will only operate LIVINGSTON CENTRE - BATHGATE Hourly service, no longer extending to WHITBURN Service x25 now operates every 30 mins from BLACKRIDGE TO LIVINGSTON , via HONEYMAN COURT Service 26A WITHDRAWN ,ALL 26 operate via LOGANLEA SQUARE By rough...

With the removal of service 275 from this Sunday could this be the beginning of the end for the depot at Deans for Lothian Country? On the face of it Service X18 AND X43 could run more efficiently from central depot and Service X27 AND X28 could operate from Longstone ,is it really worthwhile...

Expect changes to West Lothian network from Monday 6/6/2022 A further reduction in services to alleviate Driver issues and staff retention. Not sure there are many more cuts left to FSE in West Lothian

It doesn't "change every week" There are no "EXTRA X25s" thats the first nonsense. I'm not sure what "hammer Lothian Country" is alluding to considering Lothian came into West Lothian with 1 goal. Hilariously they've found out it's not been quite as they thought it would be and you have to...

A simple decision based on finances.

Call me old fashioned...... once you've had experience of unruly children in large groups you may be able to pass comment on my views,until then if you dont agree dont assume you are correct. 1643110899 Why should anyone who can afford to pay be given anything for free? where do you stop...

Route Training for Route 63 . There are a number of route learners currently training. And they use the coach between School Journey.

Surely youre not that naive to think free anything in this country wont be applied for ,come on here lets be real! No i haven't is that requirement to post an opinion? I do however live here and can see where services are seriously lacking and where money is being thrown at subsising free...

Posted this yesterday afternoon and it was removed "as duplicate post"? how odd

This stunt will only serve to cost the industry more drivers. Who really wants to go to work to babysit teenagers who will want to "go for a run" in the evening? Surely there needed to be time restrictions i.e 7am - 7pm or a restriction on amount of journeys per day. Another propaganda stunt...

The X51 does not enter the Hospital and only serves the stops on Alderstone Road and it does not serve Main Street or Kirklands park estate. 1637347144 Not from West Lothian they arent.

The only part is centre to St Johns hospital to retain the frequency that was provided by 26/26a and 27. Gives people of Kirkliston and Winchburgh a direct link to St Johns which is something they have been looking for and gives Broxburn and Uphall a direct quick service as opposed to being...

The bizarre thing is when buses that are still registered to run don't operate it actually saves money. There have been massive savings in recent months with new duty parameters and Electric shuttles however public confidence which was low anyway is now rock bottom in West Lothian and its...

It has always been the case that there have been busy periods on he X28. The problem has never been the small percentage of journeys with approx 80% capacity; it was always the large percentage of journeys with under 20% capacity and the large parts of the journey where bus runs virtually empty...

Whilst the hourly rate is unquestionably higher i'm not sure your assumption on conditions and shifts being "better" is totally correct. £11.10 per hour plus £25 bonus for RD Working and shift paid straight through at weekends helps the hourly rate for anyone wishing to earn extra. 80% sick pay...
