HappyG(rrr) Apr 2016 10:01pm, 11 Apr 2016 25,478 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Yo, Fraser, I did leg 2 once, and just ran back to where I'd left my car at changeover. Buses have been chaotic in the past, iirc.

JenLov Apr 2016 1:50pm, 12 Apr 2016 461 posts	0 JenLov Short walk from bus station round the corner to trains that take you right onto Edinburgh central. I won't be getting the bus.
RedBen Apr 2016 2:44pm, 12 Apr 2016 1,085 posts	0 RedBen Did the bus in 2007 and the memory of it lingers with me, not in a good way. Also, buses left from Waterloo Place, which was on the route so we got to watch over hydrated runners peeing (and worse) on Carlton Hill as the buses waited for the runners to pass.
Icelandic Trigirl Apr 2016 3:34pm, 12 Apr 2016 2,395 posts	0 Icelandic Trigirl I read the buses were bad but booked my return ticket anyway for security. It seems to be almost as much treck to the bus pick up as to the regular train into Waverley.

Icelandic Trigirl Apr 2016 1:23pm, 13 Apr 2016 2,399 posts	0 Icelandic Trigirl Also: how are the water stations and gels, etc? (does anyone know what brand?) and are there lots of toilets? At Pisa, the water stations were horrible bottlenecks and there were no start-line loos! Hellish!
baz p Apr 2016 4:48pm, 13 Apr 2016 2,107 posts	0 baz p pubs - there are a couple in Musselburgh itself, about 5-10 mins walk from the finish, on the highstreet. toilets - there are toilets, but not loads. there are also toilets scattered along the starting area that may help ease the over crowding near the baggage area.
