Scottish Citylink

On Scottish Citylink services priority is given to boarding those passengers who have a reserved ticket. In the case of Concession Card holders they may reserve their journeys in advance of travel at a charge of 50p per journey which then entitles them to the same priority as any other class of reserved ticket holder. Thereafter the driver will take passengers on board in queue order subject to there being any remaining seats available. Seat reservations may be made in advance of travel by telephoning 08705 50 50 50, by visiting www.citylink.co.uk on the web or by visiting any Scottish Citylink Travel Centre or agent.

Flit A flit boat took passengers to or from a ferry which was too big for the pier. So our flit bus takes you between Ledaig and parts of Tobermory which big buses can't reach. It goes round Rockfield Road, along Breadalbane St, round Western Road, back along Breadalbane St and down the Eas.

clinic Clinics at the hospital run Monday to Friday and we've timed buses out and back to suit. To use the North Mull clinic buses please request or change your hospital appointment to be in and out between 1035 and 1230.

School, flit, and clinic buses are open to everyone for any purpose or destination. Get on or off at any stop.
