Midlothian Residents Demand Bus Route Reversal

Nearly 3,000 Midlothian residents are rallying against Lothian Buses’ axing of the 46 route — a vital link between Rosewell and the Royal Infirmary — forcing people to take two buses just to get to work, hospitals, or shops. MPs and locals say the move has devastated disabled residents, low-income families, and hospital staff, with one nurse even considering quitting due to the new commute. While Lothian Buses claims the cut was based on demand data and aims to better serve Edinburgh, critics say the company ignored community pleas and failed to acknowledge the human cost. Residents demand a direct conversation and the route’s return — before it’s too late. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
