Stagecoach East Scotland

[jamieintercity]

Interested to see 4 of the 74 journeys allocated to running board F868 which is normally a forfar solo that does the 22s in the morning/afternoon then 2 journeys on the 21(A) to stracathro and back to forfar in the evening.

27122 rather unsurprisingly appears to be the one that was kept at St Andrews, so six diesels remain.

27122 doesn't appear to have run in the past week. Maybe it's now withdrawn?

Is this to balance EV miles ahead of full EV allocations at Arbroath soon?

I'm confused by what this means. Doesn't it mean that they will no MMCs, E300s, solos or eliteI allocated to arbroath in the future (expected forfar unless forfar is going to get EV chargers at some point)

Interesting. Yes it seems the 22 could interwork the 74 in that case even though bustimes displays them as two separate blocks.

Anybody have any idea as to why it seems 10483 hasn't been in service?

Only now I'm realising, come the timetable change, the 72 won't stop on the High Street in Dundee anymore, instead using Crichton Street.

Must've been a last minute change given the online PDFs still say High Street (take your pick from the 4 stops).

The X7 will now also stop at Mill of Benholm

I got in touch with Stagecoach and they said it will still stop at the High Street. It would be weird if it stopped at an, as of present, only Xplore stop.

Would make more sense to move the city centre stop as the 72 and 73 are due to run at the same time from Ninewells for most of the day

Traveline now saying Crichton Street. I'd imagine it is.

Have paper timetables been scrapped again? In the last few years it seemed as though they had been brought back but now I'm struggling to find many on buses and at bus stations.

I think this has been mentioned local management have stopped paper timetables. Some Stagecoach areas down south print paper timetables.

The last set of of Stagecoach East Scotland Timetables were printed on 24th November 2025 and had a very limited run. No Stagecoach Scotland compaines print anything at this moment of time alas.

Saw the 74 twice today, both completely empty. Whether it picks up or not we will have to see. It is a slightly bizarre route.
