Bus Route 46 Fight for Access

Local councillors are demanding the return of the cut bus route 46, arguing it’s vital for residents in Bonnyrigg, Poltonhall, and Rosewell to access hospitals, doctors, and essential shops. Lothian Buses claims low usage forced the cut, but councillors say it’s punishing NHS staff and daily commuters — especially since many healthcare workers moved there for the direct hospital link. They’re pushing for a reinstated 46, an extended route 39 into Rosewell, and a new direct line timed to hospital shifts. While the bus company insists decisions are data-driven and committed to listening, councillors say this situation can’t wait. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
