Residents will recall our most recent post about Stagecoach buses using Hyndford Street back on 4th May and the good news that the bus company had agreed to move buses away from this highly residential street where buses did not even stop.
We have now received a further update from the Commercial Director of Stagecoach East Scotland to confirm the date from which buses will stop using Hyndford Street and the new route, as follows :
"The paperwork for registration was submitted last Friday and this would be with a start date of 7th July to meet necessary timescales.
The route submitted comes out of Hyndford Street as discussed and instead turns via Bellfield Street.
We've also made a wider change to the route to return via Hawkhill rather than via Perth Road /Nethergate and we're using the additional time now available on this service to cover another request we've had in the city centre - a bus departing the bus station and dropping off at the rail station.
The new route and timings therefore retain the service as it was in the eastern section but with suitable timing adjustments to provide more onward connections, the maps may help to illustrate the route east to west."
