    ELC Tweeted a very interesting looking visualisation of a "Future Active Travel Network" for Musselburgh... featuring a segregated cycle lane leading upto the Brunton Theatre..

    (I think this is the same thing as above - is this part of the Active Travel Improvement Plan? It's almost like they're trying to make this difficult to follow..)

    Please note the Drem-Gullane Path in this, and also press for all supported bus services to include cycle carriage as a default clause. Remember that the buses for most towns and villages in E Lothian usually start and finish the day running empty from their 'town' depot for the 'first' and 'last' main services - handy for a day-out cycling, or getting back later at night, when the experience of riding on unlit rural roads is not so pleasant.

    Consider also whether the old coach-operated X25(?) Edinburgh-Dunbar via Haddington, might be a suitable bike carrying service (as are Stagecoach Edinburgh-Fife services operated by coaches)

    Drem-Gullane is being partially built by CALA Homes with their current development, and will be a 5Km path for cycling & walking between Drem Station and Gullane - hopefully & especially with 'parking' enforcement on the roads around Drem Station, reducing the excessive car-based access to the train services. Contact I have is iain monk with this contact address dgcorepath@gmail.com (his work is @gov.scot)

    Similar links might be developed or improved for Longniddry and Dunbar?
