New Years Day First East and Central Scotland

[Butts]

I may well have to travel from Falkirk to Edinburgh Park on NYD to work. Don't want to drive for obvious reasons. No Trains.

When inputting the proposed journey on Traveline Scotland it is coming up with the 38 Bus and a Tram to get me there.

Looking on First's Website there is no mention of festive services and or timetables.

Are Traveline privy to the actual services running or is it just based on a normal Monday service until it is amended by the Christmas Timetable whenever it is issued publicly?

No danger of ANY First midland bluebird buses running. Company can't afford them and the two councils wont pay for them. West lothian council does pay for stuff.

The best you will get is from Linlithgow to Edinburgh on the 38 and changing over to the tram. No idea how you will get to Linlithgow from falkirk.

It just the fact there have not uploaded the Xmas timetables yet. There should be a proper page for it, but not all the details are in
