Updates and Service Changes - last updated Wednesday 1st September 2010 (2nd update)

Apologies for the lack of updates over the last five weeks. This spell was also when I was moving to a new computer at home, working on the launch of a new bus service for the day job, then holiday, then my father's death, then I picked up a bug! Now recovering, and catching up with the reccent developments.

From Monday 23rd August 2010 for up to 12 weeks, a temporary diversion applies to journeys in Mill O' Mains i.e. Services 32B and 36. Buses will enter Mill O' Mains via Eriskay Drive, turning right onto Hebrides Drive as now. On Hebrides Drive, the bus will only serve the bus stop outside the shops. From there, the bus will turn right, then left back onto Forfar Road, up to the roundabout at Fintry Drive, back down to the traffic lights at Claverhouse Road and Fountainbleau Drive, then following normal line of route.

A new Dundee City Bus Network Map is now online, correct to June 2010. This includes both National Express and Stagecoach services. Also now online is a National Express Dundee services only Bus Network Map.

Fishers Tours update - a further appeal to the Transport Tribunal has been rejected. However, it is understood that the case is not over.
UPDATED - the company have announced that services will operate as usual, pending a further appeal to the Court of Session.

A very short notice change was applied from Sunday 25th July 2010 to National Express Dundee Service 5A/5B (Barnhill - Ninewells Hospital). Some buses will now run via Broughty Ferry Queen Street as opposed to running into the central area. A new timetable can be had here.
From Monday 16th August 2010, a new timetable will be introduced on Stagecoach Express Service X54 (Dundee Bus Station - Edinburgh). The only change is the introduction of a new Monday-Friday journey from Edinburgh to Dunfermline at 0835. A new timetable can be had now. Further Stagecoach changes from this date were...
Service 20 (Kirriemuir – Forfar – Dundee) The 07.25 Dundee to Kirriemuir and 08.25 Kirriemuir to Dundee Monday to Friday journeys will be retimed slightly between Forfar and Kirriemuir to help improve reliability. A new timetable can be had now.
Service 21A (Forfar – Brechin – Stracathro Hospital) A revised timetable will be introduced, with most journeys operating via Brechin Castle Centre during the daytime Monday to Saturday.  There will be no change to the Sunday timetable.  A new timetable can be had now.
Service 27 (Forfar – Friockheim – Arbroath) Mon-Fri 09.16, 12.11 27E from Letham, Blairs Road to Forfar, and 11.30 27E Forfar Tesco – Letham, now pass from Stagecoach Strathtay to Travel Wishart. There is a new 09.00 from Forfar, East High Street to Letham, as a result. A new timetable can be had now.

From Monday 23rd August 2010 (not 30th as I originally put) , JP Mini Coaches will operate a new timetable on Service 81 (Carnoustie - Forfar). The afternoon bus from Monifieth to Forfar will now start from Carnoustie, thus running later throughout. A new timetable can be had now.
National Express Dundee will operate special Service 53 between Dundee City Centre and Camperdown Country Park (for Dundee Flower & Food Festival) on Friday 2nd, Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th September 2010. The timetable will be different from last year. A new timetable can be had now.
From Monday 25th October 2010, there will be changes to various services in Perthshire. Details to follow.
From November 2010, it has been reported in the local media that National Express Dundee will be making changes to various services. I will post further details, once the service registrations have been submitted to, and accepted by, the Traffic Commisoner's office.
