Part Routes

Below are the 'Part Route' starting points and destinations that I have seen, either on timetables or bus destination blinds since 2009.  There are probably other 'Part Routes' that I am not aware of.

I originally though it might be interesting to photograph the buses at these 'Part Route' termini, but I'm not so sure about that now.  In many cases there are only one or two buses per day from these 'Part Route' termini, often very early in the morning, and it has been quite time consuming to see what changes are happening to the 'Part Route' termini for each route as new timetables are published.

However, here are the lists that I have compiled to date:

Peter Stubbs:  October 10, 2010

NOTE:  I updated the details below from Jan 2009 until Oct 2010, but have not updated them for subsequent changes, because it was taking me too long to check through all the timetables to see what had changed.  (I have copies of the timetables, so can bring the list below up to date at a later date if I wish to.)

Part Routes

Snow

Many more part-route destinations were introduced, some lasting for a few hours or for a few days, during the adverse weather and heavy snowfalls in November and December 2010.

I hope to add a list of many of these part route termini, and photos of buses at some of them, to the EdinPhoto web site soon.
