I suppose it was just a way of splitting the Arbroath/Carnoustie routes and the Monifieth circular. Now they have decided to do away with the services up round Ashludie in Monifieth even though at one point they were every 20 mins I believe.

A bit disappointing that at one point the 73 ran to Ninewells every 10 minutes IIRC and now it's hourly.

People of Carnoustie online seem to be mostly happy with the Tayway changes but there are a few angry people in Monifieth that Hill Street and Victoria Street including Monifieth Health Centre are being completely cut off rather than their present 2 buses an hour (one clockwise, one...

Yeah I do wonder why Stagecoach set up questionable routes like that sometimes. :lol:

Was that ever actually used past the city centre? I don't think I've seen more than one or two folk on at that point (if you're lucky!).

Are the short 73s only getting 3 minutes layover in Dundee, or is it 18 minutes?

No longer served apart from the once daily on weekdays 181/A to Carnoustie, Monifieth and Forfar, but there is the 72, X7 and Ember E17 from the bypass. Good. It caused far too many delays and was unnecessary.

£25 cheaper with Ember! 8-)

I've looked at the timetables and it's an interesting set of changes. The main positive is 4 buses an hour from Carnoustie to Dundee, which is double what there is currently. And what I find weird is, as you mention, completely leaving out Hill Street and Victoria Street in Monifieth which at...

flagged and fixed

so it will be the 72, 73, 74 and 74B, or will there still be the other Tayway buses?

...at last!

68 departures in each direction I believe

It will be for the E20 from Edinburgh Airport to Glasgow... better than running dead!
