Lothian Buses announced the diversion of some of its services after reports of anti-social behaviour.

Lothian Buses has said it will be unable to run services in service in parts of Calder Road and Broomhouse Road. Buses will be diverted via Bankhead Avenue and Bankhead Drive. The service in question is the number 21.

Lothian Buses said: “Due to anti-social behaviour buses are unable to serve part of Calder Road and Broomhouse Road and are instead diverted via Bankhead Avenue and Bankhead Drive in both directions until further notice.”

The announcement comes as Edinburgh gears up for another Bonfire Night. Previous years have seen widespread chaos throughout the city, with services stopped due to reported anti-social behaviour.

A service in West Lothian has also been diverted, with the 72 in Blackburn affected.

Lothian Buses said: “Due to anti-social behaviour buses are unable to serve Ah Grove and Elm Grove and are instead diverted via Bathgate Road in both directions until further notice.”

The number 74, which follows a similar route is also affected. It will terminate Whitehill Industrial Estate until further notice.

Earlier Lothian Buses had asked the public to “respect what keeps us moving”. A post on social media said: “At Lothian, we’re proud to serve our communities across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

“Services are scheduled to operate as normal today (Wednesday 5 November) and customers are reminded to plan their journey in advance.

“Our support teams will be out across our operating area this evening, working closely with Police Scotland, to support a safe and enjoyable Bonfire Night for our customers and colleagues.”
