However, purely the eastern section has been advertised. No details on whether the western section will come, or if the project has been descoped. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-385194 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 14:10:36 +0000 gembo 385194@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@morningsider, the only thing on the 44 bus route is the famous vanishing 44 bus. You wait and the bus scheduled doesn’t appear. You wait and the next bus comes down from the Terminus - Not In Service or Part Route Longstone (where the depot is)</p> <p>And yes the Gorgie Roadworks will get the blame for the vanishing 7-7-7 </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-385193 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:08:51 +0000 Morningsider 385193@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think the pilot 7-7-7 bus lane on the 44 route is in operation. My understanding is that it will be given force by an ETRO (here we go again...). There is no mention of a relevaqn ETRO on the Council's website, so I assume it has fallen into the Council's policy implementation black hole.</p> <p>I imagine the various Slateford Road and Gorgie Road works will get the blame for this. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-385192 Mon, 27 Jul 2026 11:46:07 +0000 bakky 385192@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Is this / was this implemented along the 44 corridor? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-380156 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 08:07:41 +0000 bakky 380156@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>EdinBUG pointed out in the intervening years there have been three developments along the route that could have had Section 75 contributions mandated for this project, but the council didn’t think to require it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-380155 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 07:57:11 +0000 chdot 380155@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Gareth Barwell, the council's executive director of place, said he shared the frustration felt at the delay and added the council would have to look for a "Plan B" if the external funding did not materialise. </p> <p>Committee convener Stephen Jenkinson said: "I'm disappointed it has taken so long to get to this point and we haven't managed to make as much progress as I'd like.

One issue has been, given the length of the route, waiting for a bunch of existing TRO/TTRO/ETRO orders to run their course, before they can ETRO the full 44 route. The last order they’re waiting for concludes in August; then advertise order from fhen, appoint contractor, work to implement in Feb 2026. </p> <p>No idea if this explains the fact the original go-ahead was 2022 or if there was also a bit of fuddle duddling along the way. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21773#post-380152 Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:14:07 +0000 gembo 380152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was an evening news story but I ain’t subscribing </p>
