It's sadly inferior to the 15 we used to enjoy. And LRT introduced it without actually mentioning that the 15 was going to be curtailed at Eastfield. Result - loads of us waiting for a bus on Monday morning that didn't turn up. Matters were not helped by the fact that the first 45 of the morning didn't actually appear. It's sad that Lothian Buses view the university as more important than serving the local community and especially people who are trying to get to work. The 15 was great for the short while it ran - but now it's back to using the horrific 30 if we want to get to Princes Street. It takes absolutely ages.

Clanger 1 is going to stick to using the car, the last full service leaving Heriot Watt leaves before her classes/study ends.
