West Coast Motors Service 478

[peterblue]

I'm looking to travel on this in May between Dunoon and Colintraive to go to Bute. I looked at the timetable (https://passenger-line-assets.s3.eu...tors/WCMO/478-timetable-20251020-82544cac.pdf) but it appears there's an almost 5 hour gap between 0847 and 1327 which seems odd. Does this service get a seasonal enhancement in frequency like a few other routes in the area? I also seem to remember a direct route to Rothesay, but I think that was withdrawn a while ago. So I think now I will need to go to Colintraive first, then get a ferry over to the Isle of Bute.

Direct route to Rothesay was withdrawn when COVID restrictions came in 2020 and the 478/490 connection at Colintraive via the ferry has replaced it since.
Cowal routes typically stay the same year round.

Do mind we are still on winter timetables.
