West Lothian residents protest after bus cuts make them feel like 'prisoners'

Residents of West Lothian rallied together to protest over local bus service cuts they blame for leaving them "stranded".

Scores gathered outside the Civic Centre in Livingston on Tuesday April 25 in frustration after McGill's announced they were cutting their bus service. As well as removing a Sunday service, early morning and late evenings were also set for the axe as the bus operator argued insufficient people use those services.

If they go ahead, it will mean villages outside of Livingston face being cut off completely with no bus link running through from May 8. This comes as the bus service has been criticised for its unreliability due to short notice cancellations. McGill's CEO Ralph Roberts said on Tuesday to the crowd that McGill's were "not proud of the service" that is currently running.
