1205 Lothian Buses cycling-awareness training – report by STV Local
1203 Cyclist / bus training video … great initiative by Lothian Buses – also well worth watching by anyone using a bike.
1106 Cyclists & Lothian Buses audio documentary … see Spokes news item 17.6.11. The audio piece was created and donated to Spokes by sound artist Emma Quayle of Audio Spring.
1101 Lothian Bus drivers complimented on awareness of cyclist tramline dangers … see Spokes news item 7.1.11.
1002 Conditions of Carriage … confirming that folded bikes can now be carried on Lothian Buses, as promised by MD Ian Craig at our public meeting. Also the slightly more complex conditions for First buses, who run most of the services in the Lothians – although we think that in practice this means that most folding bikes can be carried (and other bikes can’t).
