Gyle Centre  -  Route 21

The Terminus

The Gyle Centre is a shopping centre close to the Edinburgh-Glasgow road and the Edinburgh bypass, about 5 miles west of the centre of Edinburgh.  It was built on a 50 acre site and opened in 1993.

The Routes

Lothian Buses routes 2,12,18, 21 and 22 all terminate at Gyle Centre.
Routes and 24 and 35 pass through the Gyle Centre.

Route 21 is now (in 2010) normally operated by single-decker buses, but the photo above shows a double-decker, painted in Lothian Buses new livery (madder, white and gold) on a part-route service to Duke Street

In the foreground is a tractor with trailer used to collect the shopping trolleys from around the large car park.

Here are more photos of buses on Route 21
