Changes for bus routes

CONTRACTS to operate some bus routes in East Lothian have been decided by the local authority.

From April 3, the Pencaitland and Ormiston 44 service moves to First Bus East and becomes the 44B. First Bus will run a reduced 123 service from May. The 110 Port Seton-Prestonpans-Dalkeith service will be reduced to day time only Monday to Friday, while the 121 Haddington to North Berwick service will have a reduced evening timetable from May.

The 129 service will run morning and evening at peak times between Port Seton, Prestonpans, Musselburgh and Victoria Quay. The 128, 130 and 120 services will be run by Eve Coaches. From Monday, First Bus will provide a non-subsidised 44 service from Whitecraig to Edinburgh-Balerno every day except Sunday.
