Buses on Princes Street, one of the main thoroughfares in Edinburgh. Map of tram and commuter rail services in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is a major transport hub in east central Scotland and is at the centre of a multi-modal transport network with road, rail and air communications connecting the city with the rest of Scotland and internationally.
The route has existed since 2014, when Ratho lost its direct bus route into Edinburgh city centre. [2] On 31 August 2020, the route transferred from Lothian Buses to First Scotland East. [3] As part of the change, the route was re-extended from Hermiston Gait to Chesser and a stop at Ingliston Park and Ride was added.
Scotland is covered by a large bus network throughout many towns, cities and rural areas. It is estimated that 95% of the population live within 5 minutes walk of a bus stop. National and international buses often operate out of main bus stations in the cities, such as Buchanan bus station in Glasgow and Edinburgh bus station.
Lothian Buses is a major bus operator based in Edinburgh, Scotland. [2] It is the largest municipal bus company in the United Kingdom: [3] the City of Edinburgh Council (through Transport for Edinburgh) owns 91%, Midlothian Council 5%, East Lothian Council 3% and West Lothian Council 1%.
The route serves the following stops: Edinburgh Airport; Edinburgh Zoo; Murrayfield Stadium; Haymarket railway station; Shandwick Place; Princes Street; Princes Street (for Edinburgh Waverley railway station) Waterloo Place [1]
In 2002, the company began trading in the Republic of Ireland, acquiring Cummer Commercials, which operated on the Dublin to Galway route (and also traded as CityLink Express). The route has since been rebranded to the yellow-blue Citylink livery (although without the "Scottish" prefix) and has expanded to provide services from Galway to Shannon.
As a result, evening services on the routes were withdrawn. [6] In January 2020, complaints were made against Stagecoach about the reliability of the route. [7] In July 2022, the route was once again threatened with withdrawal. The costs of operating the route had increased by 86% since the previous contract was awarded in 2018.
