I was contemplating a journey to Kilcreggan Pier on the 316A for a ferry over to Gourock, but the last ferry leaves two minutes before the bus arrives!

We enter the railway station and board the 1756 ScotRail service 2H56 to Easterhouse, arriving there at 1854 on Wednesday.

With that being it for the night, we return in the morning for the 0347 Ember service to Alness (High Street), arriving there at 0625 on Friday.

I do apologise for the confusion, I immediately realised about the Ferry Terminal and took the chance to edge the game towards Orkney (as there are 10 bus services and 3 ferry connections to the mainland so I thought it was possible).

No problem, however I couldn't actually find any ferry departures to Orkney, unless I didn't look very well!

We next take the 1816 Scottish Citylink / Megabus service M91 to Kinross Park & Ride, arriving there at 2027 on Friday.
From one Park & Ride to another, we next board the 2056 Ember service E1 to Ingliston (Park & Ride), arriving there at 2127 on Friday.

Northlink Ferries run 2 departures per day to Stromness, at the time of the move I made it would've required a longer overnight break as the departure is around 9 in the morning.

We next take the 2137 Flixbus service UK090 to Livingston, Deer Park, arriving there at 2152 on Friday.
