A trial extension of bus lane operating hours was due to start earlier this year on the No 44 route from Juniper Green to Musselburgh, paving the way for bus lanes city-wide to be in force from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week. But in June, transport officials said the trial has been delayed due to traffic orders and a lack of cash. Cllr Jenkinson says funding has now been secured from the Scottish Government's Bus Infrastructure Fund, the orders are being worked on and the details of the trial need to be finalised. "It's a work in progress," he says.
