RELBUS went along as an observer to the Trevelyan Hall, Pencaitland to hear what local people had to say about their bus services. The meeting was politically charged with the local elections just one day away, but political point scoring aside, the public had its say.
Judging by the turnout – standing room only – people feel very strongly about their local bus services, a position that is hardly new, which Iain Gray, MSP was quick to point out.
In the event it seems that Lothian Buses will be stepping into the breach and offering a cheaper and – we assume – better quality service to the residents of Pencaitland and Ormiston. This is obviously a big relief, though we are interested to see the detail when it emerges.
