A spokesperson for Lothian said: "Due to adverse weather across the network, buses are unable to continue across their routes due to safety concerns and will be withdrawn until routes are further assessed."

Warning about problems with its website, Lothian later added: “Due to increased demand, our website may be slower than normal when loading – we are working to resolve this as soon as possible. Please bear with us.”
