Rush hour Trident
A pool of buses is reserved for rush hour work in Edinburgh and seen at Marine garage after returning from rush duties on service 22 is Lothian Trident 617G, which in 2006 was a 'guide-wheel' bus - part of an allocation which was usually detailed for service 2 on the now forgotten Edinburgh bus-way.
The screen 'Foot of the Walk' is hardly helpful for visitors, 'Foot of Leith Walk' would be more apt. In Edinburgh Corporation days this screen said simply 'Leith Walk' a spacious broadway which links the port of Leith with Edinburgh and scene of recent tram works which ultimately proved fruitless when the money ran out and the line was curtailed at York Place. From here westward the forthcoming tram service will follow most of bus 22's route and I believe in council efforts to 'encourage' use of the tram bus service 22 could be a casualty. A re-organisation of services could see bus route 25 cover the 22 from York Place to Leith and Ocean Terminal. This could enable service 49 to upgrade to double deck so to cover the Restalrig area vacated by the 25.
