The Routes

We operate many services each week from  all over Fife via Ferrytoll Park & Ride. 

Bus stops in Edinburgh city centre show up-to-date times for all our services, letting you know exactly when your bus will arrive!

 

Halbeath Park & Ride offers fast and frequent services between Fife and Glasgow. It also offers improved links to Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Kelty, Kinross and other local communities.

The Park & Ride celebrated its 10 year anniversary on Saturday 25th November 2023 (ten years to the day).

Halbeath P&R has proved to be hugely popular over the ten years it has been in existence so far and will no doubt continue to grow as usage of the local services calling at the site increases in response to demand over the next ten years. You can read our blog about celebrating ten years of Halbeath Park & Ride here. 

Hop onboard service X51 from Dunfermline or Ferrytoll P&R to Livingston, and do more of what you really want - shopping, eating and
plenty of activities at The Centre or the Livingston Designer Outlet.
