From the company announcement... the all-day X42 looks like a good one, and will fulfill a number of often-requested links, as well as supporting the popular X1 between Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes. The 96 being reinstated to/from Ninewells Hospital also brings back a direct service to/from St Andrews, but it's interesting to note the 42 and 96 are swapping around in Tayport.

Stagecoach in Fife would like to advise passengers of a number of service changes that will be introduced across Fife as a result of feedback received by ourselves and Fife Council in relation to the new network of supported services introduced in August 2009 in North East Fife. In the Central Fife area a number of minor changes will be introduced in order to improve the reliability of certain services, particularly at peak times. A summary of the changes can be found below:
 
Services 6,6A,6B (Leven – Kirkcaldy)
Some additional journeys will operate on school holidays.

The route will be revised to serve the new road layout in the Fife Central Retail Park and John Smith Business Park area of Kirkcaldy. There will be no change to the timetable.

Journeys serving Millfield will continue via Westpark Road to serve Adamson Hospital and Upper Dalgairn and be numbered 68. The Braehead/Thomastoun Drive loop will be numbered 68B, and the anti-clockwise loop serving Upper Dalgairn and Adamson Hospital will be numbered 68A.

This will supplement the existing service X54 between Glenrothes and Dundee to provide half hourly departures for much of the day between these locations.

Service X54 (Dundee – Glenrothes – Dunfermline – Edinburgh)
