After school bus from St Johns to Ninewells and City Centre withdrawn, with one journey retained timed for St Paul’s Academy.

Xplore Dundee Service 14 (Ninewells Hospital – Douglas) Timetable revised, and will now only operate between The Stack and Douglas, on a similar frequency to now. The intermediate running times on the remainder of the route are changed, to improve reliability. Some buses are now 2-3 minutes earlier or later than now (mornings) or up to 5-10 minutes earlier/later (Evenings). Eastbound, the first two arrivals into Douglas in the morning withdrawn. Westbound, there are extra buses at 08.41 and 17.44 from Douglas to The Stack, but the first afternoon bus from Douglas to The Stack is withdrawn. Service will serve the full length of Clepington Road, no longer running via Forfar Road and Kingsway East after Maryfield.
NEW SERVICE Xplore Dundee Service 14S (Douglas – St Paul’s Academy) Former Strathtay service 501 now operated by Xplore Dundee as Service 14S. Morning service retimed to leave at 08.10, with the times revised for reliability. Service now starts from Balunie Avenue near Baldovie Road, instead of Arbroath Road/Monymusk Park. Afternoon changes in line with new school closing hours.
Xplore Dundee Services 15/17 (Whitfield – Ninewells Hospital/Tech. Park) Monday – Friday, and Saturday, towards Ninewells Hospital, no major changes. Monday – Friday, and Saturday, from Ninewells, most buses will run two minutes earlier from Ninewells Hospital towards Whitfield.
Xplore Dundee Service 17S (Whitfield – St Paul’s Academy) Afternoon times vary, depending on the day of week, in line with new Dundee City school hours.
Stagecoach Strathtay Service 16/16A/16B (Dundee – Perth) A revised Service 16 will run hourly during the day, Dundee bus station via Perth Road, Ninewells, Invergowrie, Longforgan, Inchture, Errol, St Madoes, Perth City Centre and terminating at Perth Royal Infirmary. The service will provide a low floor alternative between Ninewells Hospital and Perth Royal Infirmary, which should provide an additional option for those who struggle with the X7 coaches. The route is stripped back considerably in terms of peak time extras, most of which are withdrawn. Some school journeys will still serve Perth Schools, but these will run via Errol instead of Glendoick. During the off peak period, Service 16 will generally leave Dundee Bus Station at 5 past (X53 towards Kingoodie will leave at 25 past), and from Perth Royal Infirmary at 25 past (X7 at 5 past) and from Perth South Street at 35 past (13 past X7). As can be seen, there will be two buses Dundee – Invergowrie, or Dundee – Perth. There will, however, be additional buses in the afternoon peak period, with a 17.10 and 18.30 Perth (South Street)– Dundee extras, and a 18.05 and 19.05 return to Perth (Canal Street only). Most of Service 16A is withdrawn, but a new Service 51/A/B will encompass most of the 16A and Services 53A/B which serve Abernyte and the High Carse Road. A timetable for this service is not yet ready, but should be in the very near future. Service X53 will complement the 16 service providing a service twice per hour from Invergowrie to Dundee via the Technology Park, Ninewells Hospital and Perth Road. Early morning and late evening, many buses will start/end at Longforgan or Inchture, instead of Invergowrie, Ninewells Hospital or Dundee. This is following the closure of the Evening and Sunday service timetable is very similar to that of now – Sunday buses will s The 16B to and from Menzieshill High School will no longer be required, but a separate school contract service will be provided by Perth & Kinross Council. Service revised to be operated by Stagecoach in Perth.
Xplore Dundee Service 18 (Kirkton – City Centre) Monday – Friday – no changes to this service. Saturday – one extra journey at 05.40 from Courthouse Square to Asda Kirkton, is added to the timetable (this direction only). Sunday – major changes during the daytime, as the service will no longer work with Services 32/33 to Fintry, but will still do so during the evening. The first Sunday bus that leaves Kirkton then continuing as a 32/33 will be the 17.50 from Kirkton. As a result, Sunday daytime buses can be boarded at the usual 18 stops, at Courthouse Square and Albert Square, rather than King Street and Nethergate. The Sunday timetable will change, with buses at 11.00 and 11.15 from Kirkton 2 minutes later, 11.32 1 minute later, then from 11.47 buses will leave 1 minute earlier. These changes will hopefully enhance reliability during the day on Sundays.
Xplore Dundee Services 22/22A/22B (Ninewells Hospital – Craigowl View) Running times on this service are now standardised on this route, to run at the same times Mon-Fri (using the basic Mon-Thurs current time).

Extra Monday – Friday morning buses from City Centre (Whitehall Street) to Ninewells Hospital at 05.18, 06.08, 06.40, 06.58. These will supplement the main service from Craigowl View. Extra Monday – Friday morning buses from the City Centre (High Street) to Craigowl View at 06.10, 06.35, 07.00, 07.13, 07.45. These will supplement the main service from Ninewells Hospital.

During the off peak, buses will leave Kirkcaldy at 48 past, Cupar at 53 past, Dundee Bus Station to Kingoodie at 25 past, then from Kingoodie at 59 past, Ninewells Hospital at 05 past, then Dundee Bus Station to Fife at 35 past. Revised X54 will run at 5 past – providing two buses an hour to Cupar. Revised Service 16 will leave Dundee Bus Station at 5 past, providing two buses per hour as far as Invergowrie. There will also be, when combined with Services 9/10 of Xplore Dundee, four buses an hour along Perth Road, between the Botanic Gardens and Ninewells Circle (also see Service 204 via Invergowrie Drive). In the evenings, the last bus from Dundee Bus Station to Kingoodie will be 17.30 Mon-Fri, with two extras to Ninewells Hospital & Technology Park at 18.55 and 19.55. On Saturdays, the last from Dundee Bus Station to Kingoodie will be 17.30 and then 18.45 to Kingoodie, before one more bus at 19.55 as far as Ninewells Hospital & Technology Park. Last buses from Kingoodie to Dundee will be at 18.20 (Monday – Friday) and 19.20 (Saturday), with later buses from Technology Park (until 20.28) and Ninewells Hospital (until 20.31). After this, and on Sundays, buses will run a one-way loop around Dundee City Centre, with this being the same as the 99 and X54. Last buses from Dundee Bus Station to Kirkcaldy will be 17.35 (Monday – Saturday) with later buses as far as Glenrothes until 22.55 (Monday – Saturday). Passengers can connect with the 39 service at Glenrothes for onward travel to Kirkcaldy, although that timetable is being revised to run hourly in the evenings, from Glenrothes to Kirkcaldy at 22 past the hour until 22.22 (X53’s arrive Glenrothes about 4 minutes past). Last buses from Kircaldy to Dundee at 20.00 (presently 20.07) and the Victoria at 20.08 Monday to Saturday (presently 22.15), with one extra bus from Glenrothes (20.35 then 21.35 – current last 20.40), or Cupar (21.08 then 22.08 then 23.26). Through Sunday buses will operate from Kirkcaldy to Dundee until 20.10, Victoria Hospital 20.18, Glenrothes 20.50, and Cupar 21.23. There is no need now to change buses to/from Service 41 at Kirkcaldy, or Service 39/A at Glenrothes. This will also reintroduce a limited stop bus from Glenrothes to Kirkcaldy on Sundays. Service revised to be operated by Stagecoach Fife’s Glenrothes depot, with a small number of journeys being operated by Fife’s St Andrews depot. School bus to Bell Baxter High School will be provided by this service in the afternoon only, with times varying for the new school closing times. These run as Service X53 via Drumoig, and leave BBHS at 15.00 Tuesday & Friday, or 15.50 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. One bus to School will run over the X54 route, running as 54 via Drumoig, and running via all bus stops too. This will leave Dundee at 07.50 (schooldays) or 08.05 (school holidays). The service will be operated by a fleet of refurbished batch of 2010 Optare Versa single decker buses, offering air conditioning, free on-bus WiFi, and leather seats.
Stagecoach Fife Express City Connect Service X54 (Dundee – Edinburgh) Services will be revised to operate via Cupar. Coaches are rerouted from the New Inn Roundabout via the A914 to Cupar and then again via the A914 to Dundee City Centre. This would introduce new stops at Kettlebridge, Balmalcolm, Pitessie, Cupar Knox Gardens, and Cupar railway station, Cupar East Road, Dairsie, Balmullo, St Michaels, Drumoig and Forgan Roundabout. For Kettlebridge, Balmalcolm and Pitessie this would give them a direct bus to Dundee and a doubling of frequency to Edinburgh, which Cupar and Dairsie would also benefit from. Cupar will then benefit from a 30 minute express service to and from Dundee, all of which will serve the City Centre, and not just the bus station. The existing X54 route from New Inn Roundabout via A92 through Freuchie, Ladybank, then A92, Letham, A92, Newport to Tay Bridge would no longer be served. For Freuchie and Letham the new X53 will continue to provide links to Dundee and in addition to this local services 64/A and 66 will continue to offer links to Glenrothes. Letham will continue to be served – see X53 (above) and existing services 64/64A. Newport and Wormit will be served by revised Stagecoach Strathtay Services 39/39A. See the entry under X53/53 for details of arrangements for Cupar Schools.
