Commuters queue up for new bus service

A NEW bus service has been launched for commuters from Midlothian.

Lothian Buses' 48 and X48 service will link Dalkeith with Edinburgh city centre and the Royal Infirmary from Monday.

The week-day service will include six buses from Dalkeith in the morning and another six back in the evening.

Bill Campbell, Lothian Buses' operations director, said: "Our aim is to offer people living in the new housing developments around Dalkeith Heights and Campus a greener alternative."
