New suburban Edinburgh bus service in 1971

            The Edinburgh City Transport routes in 1971 were still largely across the city centre as they had been in tramway days but in June 1971, ECT launched this new inter-suburban route 32 - a route number previously applied to a seasonal service between Waverley Bridge and Edinburgh Castle - which “provides connections between northern and western areas of Edinburgh without the delays of traffic congestion in the city centre and, in many cases, eliminates the necessity of changing buses”. Tbe new service was operated with “Pay-on-Entry” buses. On the 6th October 1974 the route was extended at both ends - from Leith to Portobello and Hay Drive and at the other end from Wester Hailes to Colinton, Oxgangs and Hyvots Bank. In April 1975 - just a month before ECT became Lothian Region Transport - the route became a complete circle with the remaining gap between Hay Drive and Hyvots Bank linked. Off peak daytime frequency was every 20 minutes. At some point after that, the service in the clockwise direction became the 52, with buses in the anti-clockwise direction continuing as Service 32.
