Bus service is ready to roll

A NEW bus route to connect the thousands of people moving into Western Harbour with the city centre has started up.

The Lothian Buses number ten route runs from Leith to Torphin, via Princes Street.

Developers Forth Ports constructed a special turning circle at Western Harbour to accommodate the new service.

Nathan Thompson, managing director of Forth Ports, said: "We are delighted the transport links to Western Harbour have been improved with the addition of the number ten bus route.''

Bill Campbell, operations director of Lothian Buses, said: "It is vital that public transport is provided at an early stage in new developments such as Western Harbour and we are delighted to have been able to extend bus service ten."
