Bus timetables are available in all Midlothian libraries or at the website addresses listed below. LOTHIAN BUSES BORDERS BUSES Service Numbers: 33, 29, N3 (Night bus) Service Number: X95 Website: www.lothianbuses.com Website: www.bordersbuses.co.uk/timetables 0131 555 6363 01896 754350 Email: [email protected] Newbattle Community Learning Centre has a Mini-Bus that can be hired by community groups. The driver must have a MIDAS permit. There are also services provided Lothian Community Transport Services (LCTS) – R1, R2 & R4. 0131 663 0176, Website: http://www.lcts.org.uk/ Email: [email protected] A self-drive service, open to drivers with a MIDAS permit, is also offered by LCTS out of their Newmills Road, Dalkeith depot. 0131 663 0176 A concessionary Scotland-wide free bus travel scheme was introduced in 2006. The scheme gives all permanent residents in Scotland free bus travel on and after their 60th birthday. Application forms are available in all Midlothian libraries and main Council offices. Once completed, the form must be handed in to any Midlothian library. The applicant needs to do this in person - part of the validation process is to verify that the photo supplied is a true likeness of the applicant, and the librarian will do this when checking the form. There is no charge for this concessionary bus pass. The concessionary Scotland-wide free travel scheme also applies to disabled people and those entitled to free travel for a companion. There is a separate application form with full details of who is eligible. Blank forms are available at all Midlothian libraries and council main offices. Completed forms (along with a passport-style colour photo and supporting documents) must be taken by the applicant in person to any Midlothian library. There is no charge for this concessionary bus pass. A Young Scot card offers discounted travel for young people from their 16th birthday to the day before their 19th birthday. In Midlothian schools, the Young Scot card is offered to all on arrival at their High School. It is used in Midlothian schools for cashless catering and so most youngsters will have their Young Scot card from age 11 or 12. Most bus operators offer a commercial child fare from 5 to 15, and the Young Scot discount in effect extends this by a further three years. The discount is one-third off rounded to the nearest 5p below, so if the adult fare is £1, the Young Scot cardholder pays 65p [66.6p rounded down to 65p]. Midlothian children who attend schools outwith Midlothian can arrange their Young Scot card at any Midlothian library. For those in voluntary work, the Young Scot travel discount can be extended to the day before the cardholder’s 26th birthday. Queries about the concessionary schemes can be directed to any Midlothian library, or to the Travel Team at Midlothian House on 0131 561 5455 or Email: [email protected] FORWARD MID - Guide to community transport for people with disabilities NGCD - Page 4 of 21 (last updated 27 March 2019) TRAVEL AND TRANSPORT - RAIL The ScotRail service on the Borders Railway calls at the following stations: - Edinburgh Waverley - Brunstane - Shawfair - Eskbank - Newtongrange - Gorebridge - Stow - Galashiels - Tweedbank Newtongrange Station is at 23 Murderdean Road, Newtongrange EH22 46 Dalhousie Road, Dalkeith EH22 4PE.

  • Midlothian Cemeteries, PDF 351.1 KB Download
    MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL ARCHIVES MIDLOTHIAN CEMETERIES COLLECTION 1834 – 1997 GB584/MC Name of creator Midlothian Council and predecessor authorities. Administrative history Like other areas of Scotland, Midlothian has a variety of burial places. Each parish had its own churchyard where burials took place. Until 1854, burials were recorded by the local Church of Scotland minister in the Parish Registers. By the mid- nineteenth century, many churchyards were full and burial had become a public health concern, especially following various outbreaks of disease. In the second half of the century, some existing burial places in Midlothian were extended or new, municipal cemeteries were opened. Responsibility for burial grounds, including churchyards, was placed on parish councils under the 1894 Local Government (Scotland) Act, and on the districts of county councils under the 1929 Local Government (Scotland) Act, then post-1975 district councils, and now, since 1996, unitary local authorities. Scope and content The principal interest in the collection is a series of lair books and cemetery registers that record individual burials in local cemeteries. In general, these are listed by date order, although some books have a surname index. The collection is not comprehensive and some local cemeteries and burial places are not covered. There are also some records of lair purchase and lair-holders. In addition, there is a series of cemetery maps and plans which show the location of sections and lairs. These are invaluable for locating an individual grave. There are also some minute books produced by cemetery committees recording the creation and maintenance of individual cemeteries. Acquisition history These records were acquired by Midlothian Council from its predecessor authorities.

  • Borders Railway Baseline Study Final Report Borders Railway Baseline Study Transport Scotland
    transport.gov.scot Borders Railway Baseline Study Final Report Borders Railway Baseline Study Transport Scotland 2 Borders Railway Baseline Study Transport Scotland Transport Research Summary 2016 The Borders Railway re-opened on Sunday 6th September 2015. In line with Transport Scotland‟s best practice appraisal and monitoring / evaluation guidance, the impact of the new rail line will be evaluated. To inform this evaluation, this research aimed to develop a baseline of the travel behaviour patterns and the socio economic characteristics of the area prior to the re- opening of the line. Main Findings There was a high degree of awareness of the scheduled re-opening of the rail line amongst both residents and businesses in the Scottish Borders and Midlothian. Anticipated use of the rail line amongst residents in the Scottish Borders and Midlothian was also high, with 84% (n=2,826) of respondents in these areas anticipating that they would use the new railway in the first 12 months. Anticipated use amongst residents in Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian was low for leisure and commuting purposes but relatively high for leisure travel, with 53% of respondents in Edinburgh, 48% in East Lothian and 42% in West Lothian stating that they anticipated using the service for leisure trips. Of those residents of the Scottish Borders and Midlothian who had moved to the area within the last 5 years, 15% stated that the re-opening of the line had been a main factor or one of a number of important factors in their decision to move to the area. In contrast, none of the businesses who had recently moved to the two local authority areas stated that the rail line had been a factor in their decision to relocate.
