The TTRO will come into effect on 24th June 2024. Below is a copy of the South St. David Street traffic management layout plan for your information.

In order to provide an alternative bus stop for this service the TTRO will introduce a bus gate on Waverley Bridge, reopening the bridge for to the airport bus services provided by Lothian and McGill’s buses. Bus operators are aware of this change, and they are in the process of applying to the Traffic Commissioner for permission to amend their services for this period.

No other traffic will be permitted to access Princes Street from Waverley Bridge.

Another bit of Spaces for People infrastructure bites the dust. The city centre gets that little bit worse for pedestrians - especially those coming to and from the Waverley.
