According to the Edinburgh Evening News, it will be open from Waverley Bridge to the West End from Saturday. Buses will use Princes Str then St Andrew Sq and York Place until September when both York Place and the Bus Station will be closed from Sept 2012 until 'late 2013. Then all the works outside the Balmoral Hotel will be cleared so that the rest of Princes Street will be open to give buses a straight route to Leith Street and the Bridges. Oh, what jolly fun Edinburgh folk are having!
Incidentally, when I was in Edinburgh in May, I tried to buy a Lothian Buses routemap, but was told they are not issuing any more until the tramworks are done, so you'll need a good memory for your bus routes!!

I also went to Edinburgh in May. The reason they gave for not having maps was that they were waiting to print a new one once the First routes had been taken over. Thankfully I had an old map and printed off the diagram off the Lothian Buses website. They have updated it now. http://lothianbuses.com/images/stories/p...120624.pdf
