113 Bus gets re-routed from this weekend

The 113 Bus is being rerouted from this weekend
The 113 Bus is being rerouted from this weekend
The 113 East Lothian Bus, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lothian Bus, is to be re-routed from this weekend.

It will go direct from Meadowbank to Princes St via Regent Road which means it will go past the old St. Andrews House and into Waterloo Place. In practice this will mean hat it will no longer serve the stops along London Road between Easter Road and the Elm Row roundabout.

Coming back to Pencaitland, it will stop outside Jenners and then at a new stop on Waterloo Place. After that it will go directly towards Meadowbank.

Remember to keep updated by checking the East Lothian Buses website. You can view a PDF of the timetable for the 113 route here.

Our thanks to local man and self professed ‘bus nerd’ Barry Hutton for the information.

One Pencaitland bus timetable to rule them all (for now)

Local man Barry Hutton has been putting in some time to pull together a unified Bus Timetable for all services coming through Pencaitland. Here it is…

Pencaitland Unified Timetables - produced by Barry Hutton, June 2012 - click for PDF version

One of the challenges for anyone using more than one bus is knowing what time a service is due to arrive or depart from a given location and how much of a window this provides to change from one bus to the next. In putting together the following timetable, local man Barry Hutton has tried to pull together all the disparate details from various bus companies that pass through Pencaitland, in order to make it just that little bit easier to work out what’s due where and when.

We have created two versions. You can view and download the timetables in either DOC format or PDF.

Our thanks to Barry for putting in the hours to make this happen.

BUS SURVEY:

Pencaitland has joined forces with Humbie, East & West Saltoun and Bolton, Gifford and Ormiston Community Councils to find out what you want from the bus service. Register your views online now.
