## Resource

Midlothian residents are reeling after the axing of the vital number 46 bus route, forcing many to take two buses and face delays of up to 90 minutes just to reach the Royal Infirmary. Stories are emerging of people scrambling to leave appointments early, hospital staff adjusting shifts, and even a nurse with mobility issues considering quitting due to the grueling commute. While Lothian Buses claims the route was discontinued based on low ridership and offers alternatives, locals say the changes have severed critical connections to hospitals, groceries, and family — leaving many feeling stranded and frustrated.
