Dundee Bus Service Changes 14/15 August
2011
v1.1 -updated 12th August 2011 with 26/26C timetable and correction re 39
From
Sunday 14th or Monday 15th
August 2011, there will be substantial changes to bus services across the city of Dundee. National Express Dundee are
introducing a range of commercial service changes, which see the withdrawal of
the Scott Street/Peddie Street section of the 4, Services 3/3A, plus the
controversial 1 St Marys route (which was 1D on Sundays). However, there are
many improvements. Services 1A/1B/1C will revert to their pre-March 2011 routes
around St Marys and Ardler, but the 1C will continue to get there Caird Avenue.
Residents of St Mays will also have Service 26 running into the scheme. Service
5 will be boosted to a bus every 10 minutes to Broughty Ferry, Forthill,
Balgillo and Barnhill, but will go down to every 20 minutes along the
Perth Road to Ninewells Hospital. 5s that do not continue
to/from Ninewells
Hospital will now run
to/from Sensation Science Centre instead, in service. Service 28S school bus is
withdrawn, but there are now many more journeys on Service 26 instead which
currently has a large split in the peaks when the school bus services
start/end. Services 14-14D now no longer operating on Sundays, and is now
simplified to run as 14, or 14A via the Technology Park at peaks. During the week, some
morning journeys on the 14 will start at City Centre via Riverside Drive, BUT nothing in the
evening. On Saturdays, the 14 will start/end at Dundee City Centre via Riverside Drive all
day, but no longer serving Broughty Ferry. Service 26 will now run in the
evening, with one bus from Ninewells
Hospital after evening
visiting hours.
Then,
there is the Dundee City Council contract factor, who appear to have had a welcome
change of heart (or is it U-turn?) re local supported bus services. Four new
routes Service 202, 204, 206, 208, will replace the majority of the current
Stagecoach 6A and 69, plus the Scott Street/Peddie Street section of the 4/4A,
and Fleming Gardens area on 3/3A. These will reintroduce Saturday links to many
areas, thereby reverting the councils previous
position (they were the only one in
Scotland not to support any local
bus services on Saturdays/Sundays). Also, supported cross-border services appear
to be back in a small way as Service 206 will reintroduce links from
Barnhill and West Ferry to Broughty Ferry Town Centre, plus crossing the border
to Ethiebeaton Park, for Dobbies Garden Centre &
Angus Gateway. However, these have to be paid for somehow and you might
notice that on many routes, the early morning weekday supported journeys taking
quite a hit more in some areas than others. The one remaining 22 that
started/ended at St Marys no longer does this, while the early morning 36C from
Mill O Mains to Ninewells Hospital now starts back at Whitfield Shops via the
33 route through Fintry. You are recommended to check first/last bus times on
the new timetables, all are now ready for download (with one exception Service 26 which is
explained below).

In
addition to changes around Dundee, changes are also occurring in West Fife, following tender renewals and commercial
service changes. None of these come into Dundee
,
but take a look at this post in my diary if you want to read the full story.
The only one that enters the area covered by the DundeeBuses.info website is Stagecoach Express
X59, which will see an extra set of peak time journeys, as a result of
increased demand for this handy link. So, from Monday 15th August,
there will be three new journeys, which operate Monday to Friday only;
- 06.00 X59
Glenrothes St Andrews
- 06.45 X59 St
Andrews Edinburgh
- 17.15 X59 Edinburgh
St Andrews
