TRANSPORT Minister Keith Brown met the leader of East Lothian Council yesterday to see if it can step in to replace bus routes being axed by First Group.
It follows the announcement by the Aberdeen-based transport firm that it was considering closing its Dalkeith depot and scaling back its Musselburgh depot, with the loss of up to 200 jobs.
Transport Scotland said in a statement it would offer support to East Lothian and Midlothian councils to "find solutions".
