suzyscottdotcomFrom Sunday 16th and Monday 17th, a network reshuffle by Travel Dundee, and some commercial (and tendered) changes by Stagecoach will occur. For the full list of Dundee stuff, click here to see the list (with links to scans of the registration docs), or click here for the printable booklet version of the list.
Some other developments that I forgot to mention that happened earlier this week...
From Monday 6th July 2009, Stagecoach Strathtay will be introducing a number of service changes. Services 13/13A, 74 and 76 will be withdrawn. A revised timetable for Service 39 will apply, and this will serve Dundee Bus Station. Service 39A is revised too, and will terminate at Ninewells Hospital during the main part of the day on Sundays. Services 73/73A will oprate to a revised timetable, with Broomhill Drive journeys extended to Ashludie Hospital, with one bus an hour continuing to Ethiebeaton Park. Service 73B is a new service (included in the 73/73A timetable) that replaces the evening and Sunday service to Monifieth previously provided by the 77 group. Addiitonally on Sundays, 73B will provide hourly links direct along Perth Road to/from Invergowrie and/or Kingoodie. Service 75 is a new hourly Monday to Saturday daytime service from Dundee City Centre to Ethiebeaton Park via Dundee Road and Grange Road, whereas Service 77-77C are revised to no longer include Monifieth (see 73, 73B and 75). Instead, parts of the main Service 77 will follow the 13 route west of the city centre to Ninewells Hospital, and Invergowrie/Kingoodie. 77A/77B will operate between Wormit and Dundee City Centre loop only. Service 88 will have a revised timetable, losing the late afernoon service.
An additional late notice change from the same date is the diversion of the 1850 and 2000 Stagecoach Fife "express city connect" X54 journeys from Dundee to Glenrothes, to run via all bus stops in Newport and Wormit, replacing some withdrawn journeys on the 77 group. Download the new timetable here.
Outside Dundee, Arbroath Town Services got tweaked. The 27 (Arbroath Cliffburn - Forfar - Kirriemuir) was rerouted to miss out Kirkton, thus reverting to a more direct route. As a result of the 73 changes, a second bus an hour was extended into Arbroath and Cliffburn, this when adding the second 73/73A, most of the daytime short 45's were replaced. Additionally, the buses working the 41 to Timmergreens and 43 to Kirkton now extend to the new Arbroath Post Office in the High Street - not far from where it used to be, before moving into the Abbeygate.
Forthcoming changes in August are school service changes in Forfar and Kirriemuir areas. Stagecoach have lost arouynd 75% of the work at Kirriemuir depot, and Strathmore Travel have ceased their school runs. JP, James Donald, County Travel, and Fishers Tours have all picked up mainstream school work as a result.
As ever, full timetables for all the Dundee stuff can be had from DundeeBuses.info, while Angus Council's transport site includes timetables and maps for all local bus services in Angus.
