Lothian PLC going to South Queensferry

It seems Lothian were a bunch of prats, no surprises what happened on new years day. The hourly service operated late, overcrowded and left many many many many many many people behide.

The question now being asked is how on earth did the Lothian mis calculate the loading? Queensferry community council take pics at St Andrews Sq and Ryans bar. As one punter asked the Loony dock being going on for 30 odd years how did there not know?

There's a cruise ship docking at Queensferry that day, looks like this is the shuttle bus for it.

Today is its First birthday, and its well It doesn't feeling like it's made any outstanding mark.

They've replaced the failed Stagecoach routes with the old First route with some timetable improvements, integrated the tariffs, brought back double deck buses. What were you expecting?

There is a lot of new housing being built in the area over the next decade – Lothian will in this for the long haul. The shocking peak time congestion to the west of Edinburgh might hold things back.
