What is a Journey Hub?
East Lothian is taking a joined-up approach to public and sustainable transport, and working to create high-profile locations across the county which provide public, shared and active travel options alongside other facilities. We call these Journey Hubs.
- Wallyford (Large interchange linking train services with local buses, parking and charging.)
- Brunton Hall (Town cente hub, with buses, car club hire, taxis and car charging. Bike shop and parcel collection nearby)
- Tranent South (Suburban hub with local bus services, car charging and demand-responsive-transport)
- Pencaitland (Village hub at Pencaitland Bowling Club. Local buses, car charging and community-run bike hire scheme)
Additionally, East Lothian's eight rail stations also function as interchanges to other modes:
- Musselburgh
- Wallyford (as above)
- Prestonpans
- Longniddry
- Drem
- North Berwick
- East Linton
- Dunbar
In September 2024 we held workshops in Musselburgh, Tranent and Pencaitland to help us understand the views of local communities on features for Journey Hub as part of a funded innovation project. We will report back with our new proposals early next year.
