Service change from 24 July 2022Changes to Lothian network to stabilise network and provide better reliability

On Sunday 24 July, we will introduce a short notice timetable change to some of our services on the Lothian network.

With recruitment issues across our industry still causing major resourcing issues for our business, we have taken the decision to introduce these measures to ensure that we can operate our services as advertised for our customers.

This change will see some minor timetable changes and alterations to frequencies on some of our services. There will be bus stop changes to Lothian Country. There will be no changes to EastCoastbuses, Airport or Nightbus services.

Details of the service change and links to timetables can be found below.

Due to the short notice for this change, some bus stop information may not be correct. Please plan your journey in advance via our journey planner or mobile app. If you need any assistance, please reach out on our social media channels – TwitterFacebook and Instagram – or our phone bus information line on 0131 555 6363.
