I found these changes below too from after 2017 but pre-covid:
West Lothian Network Changes
From Monday 6th August, West Lothian Service Changes will come into effect. We want to make sure you're prepared for these changes before travelling with us so we've summarised some of the best bits for you below:
- We are continuing to regularly serve St John’s Hospital
- We are providing faster links into Edinburgh City Centre
- We are providing a new, faster service to Edinburgh Airport which will now serve Winchburgh and Kirkliston

What are the benefits of travelling with us?
- More buses, simpler routes, simpler frequencies and new links
- ALL First buses accept contactless payments and mobile ticketing
- Regular Friday/Saturday Night Services connect West Lothian and Edinburgh
You can pick up a copy of our printed timetables on bus and in public spaces across West Lothian.
See below for more detailed information on our new services, routes as well as all the timetables, and network and town centre maps so you can plan your journey in advance.
