Staff working for one of Scotland's biggest health boards are being forced to queue for buses late at night under a controversial regime which has banned them from hospital car parks.
NHS Lothian has reintroduced a parking permit scheme, suspended during the coronavirus pandemic, that is designed to keep spaces free at its hospitals for patients.
However, thousands have signed a petition in protest at the scheme - and pictures provided to Edinburgh Live show a huge queue of staff from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh waiting to get a bus to a park and ride two miles away.
