Commenting on the changes that have been announced to Lothian Buses and East Coast Buses services in the Lothian East constituency, Douglas Alexander MP said: 

“Several constituents and community groups have contacted me about the alterations to East Lothian’s bus services, which will clearly be damaging for people in various communities, especially those currently served by the 26 and X6 services.

“I am working with colleagues, including Martin Whitfield MSP, to highlight to Lothian Buses the strength of feeling about these changes in the affected communities and urge them to reconsider or amend the plans.

“In the meantime, I encourage individuals and groups who are concerned about the impact of the changes to also contact Lothian Buses and express their own concerns.”
