Here, we board the 12:30 D+E Coaches service 302 to Upper Foyers Shop, arriving at 13:21 Saturday afternoon.

 

[Esker-pades]

Not much option other than to board the 13:30 D+E Coaches route 302 service to Dores Inn, arriving there at 13:59 on a Saturday.

 

[Trainfan344]

Annoyingly the other service to serve the hotel doesn't run on a Saturday, so our only option here is to board the 18:12 D+E Coaches 302 service to Inverfarigag Cottages arriving there at 18:29 Saturday Evening.

QUERY RAISED

Having noted three consecutive journeys made on the D & E Coaches service 302, I am having a problem in finding any other service but the D & E Coaches service 302 that serves Inverfarigaig and it appears that last posting made used the last bus on Saturday, so no buses on Sunday and not until Monday morning is there an onward service.

Shall we book a weekend break and enjoy Loch Ness and hope to see "The Monster"?

I am too timid to even dare to attempt an onward posting from here.....

 

[Andy Pacer]

I’d come to the same conclusion so I will go for it...

We have to wait until Monday (so spend much of the weekend here) then walk to the village green to catch the 0802 D&E Coaches service 302 to Inverness, Drummond Crescent arriving there at 0843 on Monday morning.

Walking the 0.5 miles to the station, we then make an unusually succinct connection for this part of the world, boarding the 14:03 ScotRail service 2H85 to Duncraig, arriving at 15:55 Monday afternoon. Now here's a view to admire!

[ValleyLines142]

Why have you taken us here?! The next service isn't for another 8 hours!

 

[DanTrain]

Seeing as the X11 only runs on Mondays, for reasons that are beyond me, we instead while away the next 8 hours in this charming village, before boarding the 17:13 Arriva Midlands North (this bus doesn't run Wednesdays for reasons again beyond me ) service to Bromfield, adj Clive Restaurant, arriving at 17:26 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[DanTrain]
