Lothian is pleased to announce that a further service change will be introduced to the network from Sunday 13 September, which will see the reinstatement of Nightbuses and increased frequency across a number of services.
Since lockdown was first imposed back in March as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, teams across Lothian have continued to analyse travel patterns and customer feedback to ensure the business is meeting the needs of as many passengers as possible.
With the reopening of the hospitality sector, it is hoped the reinstatement of Nightbus services will help support those employed in bars and restaurants across the capital and the Lothians. As students return to their studies later this month, a change to services calling at college and university campuses will also be welcome news.
