suzyscottdotcomFrom Sunday 27th June 2010, National Express Dundee are making changes to various services. Full timetables can be had from www.dundeebuses.info or www.nationalexpress.com/dundee (although the school services are currently, as I type this, only on my site!)
Services 1, 1A, 1B, 1C – City Centre – St Marys or Craigowl View
Minor timetable changes throughout. The handful of peak 1C’s extended to/from Craigowl is now one in the morning, two in the early afternoon, but see revised 22 for alternatives. Service 1C will now serve all bus stops on route i.e. no longer non-stop from the back of the Wellgate Centre to/from Provost Road.
Service 1X – St Marys – City Centre – Harris Academy

Minor changes to timetable. Additional 07.26 from City Centre to Dryburgh Service 2, Monday to Friday, running via Dunsinane Avenue. 15.15 Mon-Fri journey from City Centre now continues to Camperdown every day, instead of ending at St Johns High School on schooldays.

New Service 6 will run every half-hour, Monday to Friday off-peak only. Off-peak and weekend links not replaced, but Stagecoach Strathtay 39A, 73, 73A provides alternatives.

Both routes will be increased to operate every 30 minutes throughout the route (daytime Monday to Saturday) and every hour evening and Sunday. The new 5A/5B will become all stop services, and the non-stop sections withdrawn. Both the 5A and 5B will pick up and the same stops in Dundee City Centre, and both 5A and 5B will run via Seagate, Blackscroft and Broughty Ferry Road in both directions. Both buses will then follow the same route via Strathern Road and Broughty Ferry Town Centre. Dundee Road (formerly covered by the 8X) will still be covered by Strathtay Service 75.

Ethiebeaton Park is served by Stagecoach Strathtay Services 39, 75, 79A/79C to/from Dundee City Centre. Right, fancy some good news? Well, the 14 off-peak is back to a bus every 30 minuets, Monday to Friday.
