Revised destination
A feature of the recent bus service changes by Lothian/Transport for Edinburgh has seen alternate route 49 journeys extended to Dalkeith Campus from their previous terminus at Sheriffhall. This in turn has replaced the infrequent route 33 services to that area. Perhaps a screen for Dalkeith Campus would be more apt as the destination is some distance away from Dalkeith. The area was 'created' by Midlothian Council 15 years ago when councillors decided to site the town's two High Schools side by side on the perimeter of the town beyond Thornybank. As in other projects like this new housing quickly covered the surrounding area so a daily bus service will be most welcome by residents.
Gemini 748, more often used on service 44, is seen in Lochend Drive, ironically a street seldom served by buses until recently. Over the years buses have tended to use Marionville Road rather than here, mainly due to the road width. Note the 20mph sign, speed restrictions to 20mph will increase considerably on Edinburgh's suburban streets (even some main roads) as city councillors continue efforts to improve road safety.
