Due to ever increasing costs, particularly fuel, our fares will increase by 10p for shorter journeys and up to 20p for longer journeys.
This is the first time we have increased our fares since October 2018. A fare increase was planned in May 2020 but was cancelled due to the COVID lockdown.

We are making some changes to our timetables for Services 109, 110/A, 111 and 118 from Monday 4th April.
Full details and new timetables are here - Click for details

Fleet No 341 - YX22 OGF entered service at 0600 this morning on our 111 Service the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
It is an ADL Enviro 200 MMC to exactly the same specification as the three new Enviro's which joined our fleet in 2021.
The only difference is that it is slightly shorter to provide a more suitable bus for some quieter journeys on our 111 service, where it will be predominately used.
It is fitted with the latest Euro 6 engine and this coupled with 'smart charging' and 'stop - start' technology means it meets 'Low Emission Bus' status.
It was built to our specification by Falkirk based Alexander Dennis and features a dedicated wheelchair bay along with USB charging points at every seatbelted seat and free WiFi.

Following the completion of a retrofit program last week our entire operational fleet of buses now meet a minimum of Euro VI emissions.
Our newest buses already exceeded this standard, by being certified to the higher 'Low Emission Bus' standard. This now ensures that every one of our buses which passes through the Air Quality Management Area in Musselburgh meets the very latest emission standards.
The retrofitted exhaust systems, supplied by Eminox, help reduce both nitrogen dioxide and particulate emissions and bring previously Euro V models up to the latest Euro VI standards.

101A/B New extended services to Haddington Retail Park from Monday 4th October 2021
The current 101 Town service which serves the Nungate will be renumbered as 101A and extended from Haddington Town Centre to the new shops at Haddington Retail Park via the Community Hospital running once an hour.
Service 101B will reintroduce a service to the Florabank, Herdmanflat, Traprain Terrace and the Riverside Drive area's with a connection to Haddington Retail Park and will run up to once an hour.
The 101A and 101B follow the same route between Haddington Town Centre and Haddington Retail Park via the Community Hospital, giving a journey up to every 30 minutes.
The new timetable valid from 4th October is available onboard our buses and here- Haddington Town Service

In order to end speculation, and passenger concern, we can confirm that we intend extending our 101 Town Service to a new bus stop beside the Aldi Store at the new retail park around the time the shop moves.
The existing 'Nungate Link' will be extended so that it connects passengers to the town centre, the Community Hospital and the new retail park. We are also looking to return the 101 service back to some areas previously served. Full details will be announced in due course.
After some initial reluctance East Lothian Council have agreed to site a new bus stop on the delivery road next to the zebra crossing and approximately 10 metres from the access ramp and steps outside Aldi. We would like to thank Councillor John McMillan for his help in securing this new stop as we felt the existing stops on the main road, which are over 200m from the shop entrance, were too far for many passengers.
We are working with various parties to advertise the town centre at the Retail Park with the aim to encourage shoppers to visit the town centre by parking at the retail park and taking the bus into Haddington. For some time we have offered free advertising on internal screens on our newer buses to members of the Haddington Business Partnership and we want to make that offer to all businesses in the town centre.

Service 110A is a new service which is an extension to Service 110 and will provide a new quick direct link for Tranent, Prestonpans and Wallyford to Fort Kinnaird.
The route starts Elphinstone travels down Elphinstone Road to Tranent via Caponhall Road and the Loch Centre continuing down Church Street past Blindwells and into Prestonpans at Schaw Road and along Preston Road. It then travels along Salters Road through Wallyford and onto the A1 to Fort Kinnaird. Click for details

We are updating the timetables for services 108, 111 and 118 from Monday 21st June. Changes will also be made to services 109 and 110 on 5th July and on the same date a new extended service, 110A will start connecting Elphinstone, Tranent, Prestonpans and Wallyford to Fort Kinnaird.

From Thursday 29th April two additional bus stops will come into use on Musselburgh High Street with the aim of reducing queueing for buses.
The only change for our customers is that Service 108 heading to Haddington will use the new Eastbound stop(B) at Shorthope Street. Services 111 and 118 will continue to use the existing Eastbound stop(A) and all services will continue to use the current Westbound stop(D)

Fleet No 413 - YX21 RNO is an ADL Enviro 200 MMC to exactly the same specification as the two Enviro's which entered service in January 2021.
It is fitted with the latest Euro 6 engine and this coupled with 'smart charging' and 'stop - start' technology means it meets 'Low Emission Bus' status.
Built to our specification by Falkirk based Alexander Dennis and feature both a dedicated wheelchair bay and a buggy bay along with USB charging points at every seatbelted seat and free WiFi.

Passengers are reminded that they should only travel if their journey is essential at this time.

Tomorrow our two latest buses will take to the road on our 108 Service.
Whilst not the best time to launch new vehicles, they were ordered almost a year ago and due last summer, they will help reduce our carbon footprint and aid social distancing on all our routes.
They are fitted with the latest Euro 6 engines and this coupled with 'smart charging' and 'stop - start' technology means they meet 'Low Emission Bus' status.
The buses were built to our specification by Falkirk based Alexander Dennis and feature both a dedicated wheelchair bay and a buggy bay along with USB charging points at every seatbelted seat and free WiFi.
Passengers are reminded that they should only travel if their journey is essential at this time.

Following a conference call on Wednesday 18th November with Transport Scotland and East Lothian Council it was confirmed that we should continue to operate routes 108, 111 and 118 as normal.
Even though these services enter a level 3 area, and East Lothian is moving to level 2, it was agreed that there is still a need for essential travel for work and shopping.
We do however recommend that passengers Stay Safe and Support Local in East Lothian.
