This year, Fringe by the Sea festivalgoers are being encouraged to leave their cars at home and take advantage of extended public transport services.
ScotRail has announced a special midnight service from North Berwick to Edinburgh, calling at all stations including Drem, Longniddry, Prestonpans, Wallyford, and Musselburgh throughout the festival.
In addition, Eve Coaches is extending their timetable on both Fridays and Saturdays to ensure there’s a last bus home for those heading to Dunbar and Haddington. The East Lothian Buses N124 service, which operates through the night on Saturday and Sunday mornings, will also be upgraded to a double-decker.
These changes mean festivalgoers can stay until the end, enjoy the festival to its fullest, and travel in an environmentally friendly way.
To find out times for trains and buses throughout southeast Scotland, festivalgoers can scan the QR code and download the GoSEStran app. More information is available on the ScotRail and East Coast Buses websites.

Service 120 – Friday and Saturday

- 11:10pm North Berwick to Dunbar
Service 121 – Friday and Saturday
