TRANSPORT AND TRAVEL
Midlothian Transport Guide
The guide to transport in Midlothian has been produced by Forward Mid - Midlothian’s Disability Equality Forum, (with appreciation of co – working with Midlothian Council Travel Team).
Transport can be such an essential component in determining the day to day quality of people’s lives.
We hope that having a copy of this newsletter to hand can allow older people and disabled people in Midlothian to have a much better understanding of the transport choices available to them.

If you know of some transport option that’s available that we haven’t included here, please get in touch and let us know.
