I reckon 12hr bus lanes is the next logical way to keep bus lanes more free, more of the time. Alot won’t be happy with it sure!Personally, I find ADL to be less comfortable, but that might be down to the seat on first rather than ADL itself. Speed however is most important to me.
They were never 12 hour before. We had 3 different types of bus lane here. Either 24hr (rare), All day Mon - Fri 7:30am-6:30pm and Sat 8:30am - 6:30pm and then peak Mon - Fri 7:30am - 9:30am and 4pm - 6:30pm but the new rule going in place will be 7am-7pm- 7 days a week. 7/7/7 easy to remember for people.
As for when this happens, I don't think a date has been agreed upon yet.
West Approach Road is far quicker as it's 40mph most of the way with just stops at Sainsburys, Fountainpark, and the Exchange at Lothian Road. Bus lane also runs towards the city anyway on WAR for part of it too.
Lothian’s B5TL’s if you sit on the upperdecks is less squeaky and noisy than you’d find on one of First’s Enviro’s, I’ve never travelled on any of FSE ones but FiG’s are speaky as hell on the upperdeck!
I suppose, as long as it wasnt Gorgie or Haymarket you wanted but princes street your quicker using Lothian Country?
