As for the August changes, meetings are still on going, and it could go down to the end of July.
The operator needs to give the Traffic Commissioner 56 days notice prior to the change, and 70 days, I think, notice to the associated local authorities. So not too sure how "it could go down to the end of July".

Because there are council tenders, so different rules apply. Also its 70 days in total but half of that just notice to the associated local authorities. No F6, No28 and No89 will need to be revised because of the changes that are happening in July.

You would think these council tenders would be sorted by now as discussing being going on for sometime with public asked there views to any subsidised service they use stagecoach did say this week on twitter 3 weeks before July changes till confirmed timetables published not sure why as no more changes can be made as all confirmed by the traffic commissioner.

Paul wasn't talking to peter. No8 now cover a good bet of the no28, so its a waste of money sending another bus on top of this route. X52 also now means the no89 can be revised if need be, etc etc Then next Friday or the following monday would take us to the 3 week period.

If you look in the right place, you'll likely find the timetables before Stagecoach announces the finalised changes officially. 3 weeks is plenty of time for commuters/day-trippers to change their rituals.

Don't think it will run this year as from 29th July stagecoach increasing there services between Edinburgh and fife to 12 buses a hour so there will be no need for it this year.

Correct, the F59 isn't coming back. However there is still a chance of double deckers appear at peak times.
FYI If Lothian goes on Strike, You can bet stagecoach will have to throw a few decker especial during the Festival to deal with the demand

Now that the PKC schools are in holiday, it must be the annual outing for the Strathtay drivers to work in Perth.

Seen a few Arbroath drivers doing Perth routes over the last couple of days.

Ah ok. It was just a thought Gary!

Acquisitions from Abelio London are Volvo B7TL/Wright BX55 XHM and BX55 XNP. Anyone know if they're for service, and at which depot, or for spares?

The July changes are now approved and some minor changes are happening:

Service Changes across Fife, Perth & Kinross, Dundee & Angus from Monday 29 July08 Jul 2019 to 26 Aug 2019


After reviewing our network of services and carrying out consultation with our customers, along with local councils, we are making service changes to our Express City Connect network, as well as some local services across Fife, Perth & Kinross, Dundee & Angus from Monday 29 July 2019.

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the consultation period. A summary of the changes can be found below, with new timetables available week commencing Monday 8 July.

Summary by area

Ferrytoll P&R

The peak time journey frequency will be increased to 4 minutes to/from Edinburgh, with off peak journey frequency increased to every 5 minutes to Edinburgh. More non-stop journeys will provide faster journeys into the city centre, including off peak journeys for the first time. All services will now stop at Orchard Brae.

Halbeath P&R

There will be daytime frequency increases to offer a journey to Edinburgh every 10 minutes. Evening frequencies will increase from hourly to a half hourly. The Sunday frequency is improved during the day to offer a service to Edinburgh every 20 minutes. Most journeys are now non-stop between Ferrytoll P&R and Orchard Brae to provide faster journeys and service X59 continues to offer an hourly limited stop service from Halbeath. (Other services from Ferrytoll will continue to serve intermediate stops, X55/X57/X58).

Dalgety Bay/Inverkeithing

Routes are revised within Dalgety Bay to offer more coverage of the town. All journeys now operate via Inverkeithing High School.

Dunfermline/Rosyth

A new X52 to Edinburgh Bristo Square via Halbeath Road, Duloch Park and Ferrytoll enhances the journey opportunities between Dunfermline and Edinburgh along with the existing X55.

Glenrothes

The off-peak service to Edinburgh is enhanced to offer 3 departures an hour through the introduction of the X61. The X54 service is revised to operate between Glenrothes and Ninewells only which will be operated using low floor single deck vehicles following customer requests.

Kirkcaldy

Service X58 will continue to serve the coastal areas of Kirkcaldy every hour as present, whereas service X60 is rerouted via Hendry Road and Chapel Level with a much enhanced frequency introduced, offering departures every 20 minutes and offering the fastest journey times from Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh. In the evenings, the X58 and X60 will now offer 2 journeys per hour whilst Sunday daytimes offer a half hourly X60 and an hourly X58.

Introduction of the X58 extension beyond Leven to serve Cupar and Dundee reintroduces direct links to Dundee which were removed last year, but now with much shorter journey times.

Levenmouth

The basic timing pattern of the X58 and X60 to Edinburgh remains as present serving the coastal villages and into the East Neuk. Extending the X58 to Dundee via Kennoway and Cupar offers Leven its first direct link to Dundee for many years and with a fast journey time. This replaces the commercial elements of service 41 as the 41 is withdrawn. Windygates and Cameron Hospital will lose their direct service to Kirkcaldy, although connections are available at Leven bus station, and Cameron Hospital will continue to be served by the 44.

New service X61 (which replaces the X4) creates new links from the inland area of Leven and Windygates direct to Edinburgh via Glenrothes at peak times, with connections available during off-peak periods. The journey times from Leven to Edinburgh are improved.

Cupar

Services to Dundee are enhanced with the addition of the X58 to the existing X26/X54 frequency offering a 20 minute frequency during the day. The X58 also improves the current off-peak 2 hourly service to Kirkcaldy, to provide hourly journeys. Service X54 will now be operated by low floor single deck vehicles operation following feedback from customers.

Looks like the Scania's from London are finally getting prepped for service with the exception of 15059 and 15063 as they are being put for disposal after being used for spares only.

I’ve noticed one working the Fife route 95 out of Leven today on bustimes. How many are these are expected, as I thought they were intended for stuff the other side of the Tay? And I assume they are replacing Tridents?

I was hoping to ride some Tridents in Fife towards the end of August, though looks like some could be withdrawn by then

I would have expected a Scania E400 from Aberhill to transfer to Arbroath (15628 would be nice...) to replace 18117, with 3 or 4 other Scania E400s moving to St Andrews for their involvement on the 95/97.

I think all Omnicity's are to be based at Aberhill?

Yes all active Omnicity's are based at Aberhill, and will be used on 43/44 schools etc. One is dumped in the overflow bus park in Glenrothes, and that is whats caused some confusion.

North East Fife guide is now out, and also includes Moffet and williamson service, including the new 64, which only has minor changes.

Is this guide a Fife council publication, or a Stagecoach East Scotland publication?
