Overcoming Social Isolation

Many of our residents have felt isolated since Prentice Westwood services were removed in 2015; leaving 1 early morning service and 1 return in the evening. People, who used public transport to visit relatives, hospitals for appointments, students for access to University or College, or those who previously used the service for leisure activities or shopping, have all had to either make alternative journeys via Linlithgow, which added both time and cost to their journeys, or give up these activities. Since the introduction of our limited service, we have been praised by users who have welcomed the reintroduction of a direct bus service to Edinburgh during the morning, midday and afternoon; particularly those who live in Mannerston and Blackness.

Boosting Tourism

This is another of our objectives that has only been partly realised so far. However, we are in the process of building partnerships with other organisations in the town also dependant on tourism. Organisations like the SRPS Bo’ness & Kinneil railway are already on board with advertising on our minibuses and an exchange of information on Facebook and other websites. We are also in discussions with the Falkirk Trust about information exchanges for the Hippodrome Theatre and Kinneil Estate and Museum. We are proud of our Town and have also made approaches to Visit Scotland to promote Blackness Castle and the John Muir Way. The first signs of success are two people from Warwick who used our service to visit the Steam Railway and two groups of walkers from Edinburgh who used our service to access the John Muir Way and Kinneil Estate.

Breaking Down Barriers To Employment

One of our main objectives is to help overcome barriers to employment. Bo’ness is now primarily a commuter town, with many of its residents travelling to work in Edinburgh. With employment opportunities available on our route at Edinburgh Airport and the Gyle Complex, it is important that those dependant on public transport have access to a service that is affordable, regular and at times that are outside normal office hours. It is our objective to supply such a service and it is our intention to introduce an early morning and later evening service midweek to help those non car owners to achieve employment as soon as possible.
