Anyone looking to come up to Edinburgh might have seen the news that one of the local bus services (LRT - Lothian Regional Transport) is going to have to contend with an all out strike from its drivers. Should this worry would be Fringe attendees? Not especially in my opinion. Okay it’s going to be a little bit harder to get around, but for central Edinburgh you can easily go between venues across town in 15-20 minutes. Getting home might need a little bit more planning, but don;t forget that Edinburgh has another bus company (First Bus) who may not have as many services, but have enough that go out of town to drop you within walking distance of where you’re staying.

Don’t forget that LRT Night Buses (ie anything after about 11:30pm) cost £2 per head. If there’s four of you out for a night’s Fringe Fun, then a Taxi home is probably going to be £10-£12, and not be that much more expensive. In short, don’t worry about it, get yoursefl up to Edinburgh. And when you’re stuck at a bus shelter in the morning waiting to get into town… that’s the perfect time to listen to the podcast.
