    West Lothian buses

    Yes as no way from Winchburgh back to Broxburn that would make any logical sense . It would need to go through Threemiletown and ecclesmachan to Uphall .

    It may be a "lifeline " bit completely uneconomical to say the least .

    West Lothian buses

    Cutting services to save £££ ,no accounts ,non accountable for the costs of setting up this massive white elephant based solely on a hope that First disappears, wonder how it will work out if Someone with a bit of capital actually takes over First ,that should be interesting.

    West Lothian buses

    Said it before it even began ,crazy idea ,never compete with the Bathgate rail line .

    West Lothian buses

    Someone somewhere within LCB must be looking at West Lothian and thinking "oh my god" what an absolute mess and money drain this is turning into. No accounts ,moving x43 to try and put ££ Into the venture (that wont work) and avoiding allowing people to see actually how much has been pumped...

    West Lothian buses

    First make very little in Linlithgow and Winchburgh and considering EX2 is doing linlithgow now it is really only winchburgh so that's no real big issue in real terms

    West Lothian buses

    Only 10 ADL deckers and 1 omnideck(loaned in) in Livingston depot (BBT apart) now after movement of vehicles that saw 15 streetlites from Bristol and Glasgow enter service ,No Volvo Gemini vehicles in Livingston now. Most routes are now Single decker ,good move on the efficiency front.

    To be fair though that wont be a deciding factor for a large majority of West Lothian passengers.

    Edinburgh Tour Operators: Bright Bus, Lothian (Majestic, Three Bridges) etc.

    They are doing fine, yea as you rightly say it is seasonal and weather dependant but on a good day they are very profitable, whether the good days can sustain the bad days only time will tell ,timetable is being altered to take into account the quieter period into October etc.

    Lothian Buses and ECB Discussion

    Was apparent to anyone with an ounce of sense it was never going to compete with the train ,there is no comparison in journey times ,pricing or quality. Ex2 has a chance as linlithgow public are fed up with 38 service (with good reason) however long term it will struggle in it's current form to...
