Lothian 680 exits Leith Street, Edinburgh.
On the last day before the route is curtailed for the time being, 680 was captured turning out of Leith Street and making the right turn on to Princes Street as it works a 22 from Ocean Terminal to Gyle Centre. As from 5 June 2022, the route is being temporarily cut back from Leith to Waterloo Place in the city centre (the street on the right), a move unlikely to be popular with Leithers. Behind the bus, crowds pour in and out of the St. James Quarter, already nearly a year old. The landmark ‘W’ Hotel on the left is one of the remaining parts of the retail, leisure and residential complex still to be completed.
