I wouldn’t be hopeful of an evening and Sunday service in the outgoing 42’s section and if I’m honest they may even remove the evening and Sunday service completely on the 12 too. If the evening and Sunday service is maintained I’d say it’ll probably still run Gyle-George Street only.Well I remain hopeful that this new revised service will give the people of Duddingston and Causewayside a direct link to Portobello/City on Sundays and late evenings. only downside is the poor folk of Craigleith Centre only having the 38 to resort too, once the news gets out to the public I gather it’ll not have a super positive response.
Wonder what other service changes we could expect, hopefully an improvement on the 15
I’m not sure the loss of a link from Craigleith to Stockbridge will go down well with the shoppers. I remember when the 42 was cut from Davidson’s Mains that made the local press about the loss of a link to Craigleith/Stockbridge. I can’t imagine too many will be annoyed about the loss of link from Stockbridge to Bristo Square etc as whenever I see the 42 on Frederick Street it’s usually very quiet. If I’m honest though I’m surprised the City-Craigleith section has lasted as long as it has post lockdowns. I’m guessing it’ll have to be a 24/29 to Comely Bank Cemetery, cross the road and pick up the 38 for those that need to go to Craigleith and vice versa.
Hopefully the buses freed up from this result in either a more reliable service and/or potentially increases elsewhere.
