NEW SERVICE

Baberton - Westburn - Longstone - Balgreen - Haymarket - Princes St - Bridges - Commonwealth Pool - Cameron Toll - ERI - Danderhall - Sheriffhall Park and Ride (peak extensions to Dalkeith - Dalkeith Heights - Dalkeith Campus on Mondays to Fridays)

05/03/2012: This service will  be extended into Midlothian to cover the withdrawal of the 48 and X48 services. 33 journeys will run at comparable times to the 48/X48 buses over the Dalkeith extension, except that they will run Mon-Fri only and not at all on Saturdays. At peak times the 33 will run every 10-12 minutes from Sheriffhall to the city, reducing to every 15 minutes in the off-peak. Coordinated with the 49 that also runs every 15 minutes, this will give a Lothian bus every 7-8 minutes in the off-peak. Late evening and Sunday 33s will turn at Fernieside (just south of the ERI) but service 49 will continue to provide links to Danderhall and Sheriffhall Park and Ride at these times.
