At a time when people are going to need more buses the large bus groups are pulling out. 200 jobs are to go in East and Mid Lothian with the closure of Firstbuses Dalkeith depot and massive cuts at it's Musselburgh site.
Firstbus are the first to announce large cutbacks as a recent drop in government funding starts to bite. Similar closures by both large and small operators are expected throughout the UK. Don't get rid of the car just yet.
