Coronavirus Update Close

In line with the latest government guidance, we've put in place further measures in England to help customers practice social distancing. This includes limiting the available seats on buses.

Face coverings are compulsory when using public transport in England and Scotland. In Wales you must wear a 3 layer face covering on public transport and put it on before travelling unless you are exempt. It is also now compulsory to wear face coverings when using indoor public transport hubs in England only.

The safety of our customers and employees is our priority, so please avoid busy times, use contactless payment and take your litter with you. For up to date information see our Coronavirus page

Welcome to our fleet

B8 Leopard Low Floor Coach

In 2018 we introduced 19 brand new innovative coaches to our Express fleet. First of their kind, these new coaches are unique in the fact that almost half of the vehicle's seating is on a low level, making boarding easier for those with mobility issues and wheelchair users. A huge step forward for public transport!

You'll most likely spot these coaches on our busy X51 Dunfermline to Glasgow via Livingston, X55 Dunfermline to Edinburgh and popular X56 Perth to Edinburgh.
