Mr Sifter Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Evening guys, hoping for some local knowledge regarding the above. My my son has got himself a job at Wallyford and we are up in Gilmerton. He needs to be there for about 7:40 each morning, but the ‘journey planner’ on the LRT website leaves a lot to be desired. Does anyone know the quickest way from A to B? Any help/info appreciated ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I’m no even sure if he should be heading into town before gettin out to Wallyford, or whether heading to Dalkeith first might be a better shout?

Perfect. Cheers for that ?? The 113 also goes from Princes Street to wallyford but I'd be tempted to get a train, takes 11 minutes. Leaves Waverley at 7.13 gets to Wallyford at 7.24 so perfect timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Berwick Jambo Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Daft question but rather than go all the way into town then out again is it not quicker to walk to Dalkeith Rd (the ERI) and get the 111 (I think that’s the correct number) direct to Mussy/Wallyford? I am sure they start about 7am. Edited January 29, 2019 by Ibiza Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riddley Walker Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd avoid town probably. Getting a train from Waverley might be quicker overall but it's quite a bit more expensive. You can get the 3 from Gilmerton to Dalkeith. You can also get directly from Dalkeith to Musselburgh on the 140 but it goes into the centre and not the Wallyford side, so he'd have to get a 44 up or about a 30 minute walk. That or the train are the only 2 realistic options on public transport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas-voss Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) If he gets into town then the 104(leave from Princes Street every 30 mins) will take him to Wallyford and it's an express bus that misses out Musselburgh by taking the bypass so will cut out on traffic.There is one that will get him into Wallyford for around 7:20 Edited January 30, 2019 by vegas-voss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
