Good to see so many people enjoying our cruises along the Union Canal. It gives a lift to our volunteers that they are appreciated by so many.

🚌 IT’S OFFICIAL — THE 67 IS COMING TO RATHO!

After years of campaigning for better bus connections, we can finally share the details of Ratho’s new direct bus service to Edinburgh city centre.

Service 67 launches on Monday 31 August and will run hourly, seven days a week, connecting:

📍 Edinburgh International Climbing Arena (EICA)
📍 Lost Shore Surf Resort
📍 Ratho Village
📍 Hermiston Park & Ride
📍 Haymarket
📍 Edinburgh City Centre

The new service will be operated by HcL as a six-month supported trial.

For the Ratho Bus Working Group, this has been a long road. We’ve spent the last four years gathering evidence, speaking to residents and local businesses, working with partners and making the case for restoring a direct connection between Ratho and the city.

👉 Swipe through the images for the full route map, timetable and FAQs.

Now comes the most important part: we need to use it.

The trial gives us the opportunity to demonstrate that there is real demand for this connection. Every journey matters, so whether it’s for work, college, a day in town, getting to EICA or Lost Shore, or simply leaving the car at home occasionally, please give the 67 a try.

Please share and most importantly, get on board! 🚌💚
