In a statement on their website regarding the 14 service they said: “Due to a road closure buses are unable to serve Crewe Road North and part of Boswall Parkway and are instead diverted via West Granton Road and Pilton Drive North in both directions until further notice.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile on the 22 and 38 services they added: “Due to a road closure buses are unable to serve Crewe Road North and are instead diverted via Ferry Road and West Granton Access in both directions until further notice.”<\/p>\n
