Changes to Council Supported Bus Services
Friday 19th March 2010
There will be a number of changes to the bus services that are supported by the Council from 29th March 2010.
Service numbers and bus routes will change. New timetables can be found at CAPs, Council offices, local libraries and from our Public Transport web page.
The new timetables offer many improvements to the bus services currently operating, which have been introduced due to public demand. These improvements can be summarised as follows:
- excellent connections to the ScotRail train services at Alloa Railway Station
- journeys to the new Clackmannanshire Community Healthcare Centre during opening times
- more journeys providing direct links between Alva and Tullibody
- journeys providing a direct link between Menstrie and Tullibody
- a new bus service into Alloa Park Drive
- a new bus service into the Gaberston area of Alloa
- more journeys to/from the Tesco superstore in Alloa
- more journeys to/from the Morrisons superstore on the outskirts of Alloa
- more journeys to/from the Muirside Estate in Tullibody
Councillor Eddie Carrick, Sustainability Portfolio Holder, said: "I am delighted that the Council is able to continue supporting these revised services. I am also very pleased that we have been able to listen to the travelling publics' views and I am confident that the changes will benefit a great number of potential passengers giving them improved opportunities to travel by public transport."
To introduce these improvements within existing resources a few reductions are also required, and these reductions can be summarised as follows:
- while bus services will continue to serve the bus stops at the entrance Sterling Mills Outlet Village in Tillicoultry, all journeys into the outlet village will be withdrawn
- the supported services will be withdrawn from Yetts O'Muckhart on Mondays to Saturdays. Yetts O'Muckhart will still be served by Stagecoach Service 23
- some other areas currently served will experience a reduced frequency
