The following services are facing disruption; the AB1 is currently running every two hours and being operated by a normal bus as we are unable to be sure what effect the storm will have on the autonomous technology. The service will now depart at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm from Ferrytoll and at 10:30am, 12:30pm, 2:30pm, 4:30pm and 6:30pm from Edinburgh Park.
Due to a tree blocking the road the, 4A/28 service will not service Steelend or Saline and instead, it will operate via A907 road to Oakley.
The 41 at 23:30 from Cupar to Dundee will only travel as far as Tayport.
All 42A services after 17:55 will travel from St Andrews as far as Tayport.
All 99 services after 17:59 will travel from St Andrews as far as Forgan Roundabout.
Due to the ongoing weather service X56 from Edinburgh at 18:15 will terminate at Halbeath P&R
And due to the police closing Queensferry Road, between Clermiston & Barnton Westbound, the X58/X60 services will divert via Quality Street, Gamekeepers Road, and Whitehouse Road to Barnton.
