A service change will take effect across Lothian Buses, EastCoastbuses, Lothiancountry, Airport and NightBus services from Sunday 12 September.
Teams across Lothian have been analysing travel patterns and monitoring customer demand in order to best meet the needs of those travelling with us now that Covid restrictions in Scotland have moved past Level 0.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and colleagues for their patience, understanding and ongoing support over the last 18 months.

- Service 15 – the morning and evening peak frequency will be increased up to every 10 minutes for staff and students travelling to Easter Bush Campus.
- Service 25 – the Monday to Friday daytime frequency will be increased to every 10 minutes to provide additional capacity for students returning at Heriot-Watt and Napier Universities.
- Service 33 – the service will be extended from Sheriffhall Park and Ride to the new housing development at Millerhill via Shawfair Park.
- Service X33 – the service will be extended from Newtongrange Dalhousie Road to the new housing development at Orchard Grange via Newtongrange high street. An additional morning journey will also be introduced towards Edinburgh.
- Service 45 – the service will be fully reintroduced between Heriot-Watt University and Queen Margaret University via Currie, Colinton, Bruntsfield, City Centre, Meadowbank, and Portobello, running every 30 minutes during the day on Mondays to Fridays.
