FUEL deliveries to the city's main bus company were almost back to normal today.
Lothian Buses said that it is now receiving its normal allocation of two tankers of fuel between its three operational depots every day.

Despite petrol and diesel delivery problems in the last week, it avoided any fuel shortages having an impact on services.

A spokesman for the company said: "Our fuel supply is almost back to what it should be, with two tankers a day going to our various depots.

"There has been no impact at all on our ability to operate the service. We had been told that our delivery would go back to normal on May 1 and we haven't heard anything to suggest it will change after today."

When fuel is in short supply, buses should be first in the queue, and private motorists last. There are too many cars on the road, especially with just one occupant.

Roll on the trams. They don't need to "steer"!

Today's Vote

Should the city give traders on Leith Walk a 100% rates rebate during trams work?
Yes, or there’ll be no shops left when the trams come
No, traders are exaggerating the difficulties they face
Maybe, but rebates should only be given case-by-case
