  1. Happy New Year from #Edinburgh, and a •huge thank you• to everyone at #LothianBuses and #EdinburghTrams for providing, respectively, cheap and free (and incredibly frequent) all-night services to help everyone get home safely from celebrating #Hogmanay! ☺️🍾🥂

  5. When the #Edinburgh #municipal #LothianBuses bus network gets •completely borked• because of traffic congestion (and really not helped by other diversions in effect today), the only sensible thing for a city claiming to be #sustainable to do would be to close this important bus corridor to private cars (at least for the day), to keep the city and its citizens moving! @EdinburghGreens

  8. If catching #LothianBuses to/from Leith St, #Edinburgh, for your Friday night out tonight, all southbound/uphill buses are diverted via York Pl (calling at Picardy Pl) due to roadworks until ~01:00 (cycleway and pavements still open).

  9. Great to see #EdinburghTrams running extra all night #trams for #EdFests: very handy for a night out in Leith and then connect with #LothianBuses #NightBuses home. 👍

    But really shameful that as #Edinburgh’s #municipal transport services they are only publicising this on certain fast declining extremist social networks! 😠

  11. The #TfE (#LothianBuses and #EdinburghTrams) #TransportTracker app seems to be having an off moment just now (probably in absolutely no way affected by the #EdinburghFestivals crowds starting to arrive 🤔), so just a reminder that the old #Edinburgh #BusTracker website still exists (and still seems to be working, assuming that it does have accurate data from the “new” system?).

  12. Buses and #EdinburghTrams are currently being heavily delayed on #PrincesSt #Edinburgh due to roadworks (poor signal phasing) at East End / North Bridge junction. #LothianBuses

  13. Ticketless #trams travel coming soon to #EdinburghTrams with the introduction of tap on / tap off payment by contactless bank card, including a maximum fare cap – finally integrated with #LothianBuses to allow proper #multimodal journeys.

    (#TransportForEdinburgh travel passes (aka “Ridacards”) still offer the best value for very frequent travellers.)

  17. Oh, good, #NorthBridge in #Edinburgh is open northbound again, so #LothianBuses (etc) no longer have to take a longer diversion route now.

    (I •really• wish our local #municipal transport services would post service updates on useful networks and not just the now very smelly and declining #xparrot)

  18. OAP Bus Pass application has been sent off 😮

    Not that bothered about buses to be honest, as I’m extremely fit and walk everywhere in the city centre.

    But free bus and tram travel to/from Edinburgh Airport is quite an incentive to have one.

  19. @enobacon Good point! But the other aspect of the #municipal bus company having #GPS tracking of buses is that Control can see when this sort of thing happens, and can radio the drivers to transfer pax from one bus at a suitable point and then turn the other one back to try to restore normal service. To their credit, #LothianBuses are normally pretty good at this. 👍

  23. For the first time in my life, I have encountered the “You wait ages for a bus and then two come at once” scenario…

    (Actually, very little waiting, the #TfE #Edinburgh #LothianBuses #BusTracker app means you can leave to get to the stop just before the right time. ☺️

    But two buses on the same (less frequent) service route right behind each other? Something didn’t quite work out right somewhere!)
