## Resource

Midlothian Council just landed $245K to launch two new daily bus routes to the Royal Infirmary—finally easing the pain after years of cuts. Starting this autumn, Service 37A from Penicuik and Service 39A from Rosewell will slash commute times, with extra morning runs added to the existing Service 48. After losing their only direct link, locals faced hour-long trips and disrupted lives—nearly 3,000 signed a petition. These routes aren’t just buses; they’re lifelines for families, workers, and the local economy, with hopes of becoming permanent, self-sustaining solutions.
