Raft of bus services to be restored across Edinburgh and Lothians from next week as Covid-19 lockdown eases - here are all of the network changes

A raft of other services will increase in frequency and have their routes altered or extended as part of the network changes set to be implemented from July 12th.

Bus services were cut to serve 'critical routes' at the end of March but teams across Lothian have been analysing travel patterns and using feedback to open up more vital links as customers begin a gradual return to public transport.

Lothian has also introduced measures to inform customers of all the necessary steps to travel safely on their network. This includes signs that will shortly appear on seats advising people where to sit to maintain social distancing, as well as urging passengers to wear face coverings and leave windows open to increase airflow.
