| Lothian Bus #35 to city centre & Ocean Terminal: | Lothian Bus service 35 goes from the Airport to the city centre (via a bit of a tortuous route, taking almost an hour) and then on to the Ocean Terminal. For a quicker journey, change at the Gyle Centre (after 10 mins) for the #12 straight down Corstorphine road to Princes St, saving 20 mins. |
| Route: Airport - Ingliston Park & Ride - Gogarburn RBS, Gyle Centre - Edinburgh Park at Redheughs - Sighthill Colleges - Slateford train Station - Fountainbridge - Forrest Rd - Holyrood Scottish Parliament - Bernard St - Ocean Terminal. Timetable for Bus 35: www.lothianbuses.co.uk. | |
