17 Mar 2025

  • 13 brand new double-deck coaches are on the road on Stagecoach's Glasgow Express route.
  • Services from Fife run to Glasgow up to every 30 minutes.
  • More capacity and extra comfort improving the customer experience

Stagecoach have announced that 13 new double-deck coaches are now on the road on their Glasgow Express route as part of improvements across the East Scotland region.

The brand-new coaches will operate on services X24 and X27 leaving from Leven, Kirkcaldy, Cowdenbeath, St Andrews, Glenrothes, Dunfermline and Halbeath Park & Ride to Glasgow.

The new coaches bring extra seating meaning more capacity to take customers to and from Glasgow and provide customers extra comfort as they travel significantly improving the bus experience for the customer.

Since the introduction of the coaches, there has been 4000 extra journeys been made and the feedback on the coaches has been positive with one passenger who travels from Dunfermline to Glasgow three times a week saying that he has much more leg room, a comfier ride and his favourite feature now being the mobile phone holder in the fold down tray so he can catch up on his programme of choice on his commute.

The happy passenger said: “As a regular commuter from Fife to Glasgow, these new buses are a massive upgrade from the previous coaches. The comfort level is brilliant with much more leg room which helps when you need to stretch out in the morning! Also, my favourite feature of the coaches are the phone holders in the tray. It allows me to watch what I want on my phone and sit in comfort at the same time.”

Scott Hall, Head of Commercial for Stagecoach East Scotland said: It’s fantastic to bring this investment to continue our improvements of our Express services. The double-deck coaches will ensure that we can take more customers to Glasgow either if it’s for work or going out to enjoy the city. The immediate increase in passengers since the new coaches have been on the road is great to see and we hope that continues in the months to come. Also, the feedback we’ve received from passengers has been wonderful and continues our demonstration that we are doing the right thing by our customers.
