Exciting Bus Service Improvements on the Horizon for Moray Town

The community in Moray is set to experience significant enhancements to its bus services this August, marking a positive change for both students and local residents. In response to previous feedback regarding reliability, Stagecoach has announced revisions to the timetable for the 35 service, aimed at improving accessibility and convenience.

Key Changes to Service 35

For students in Portgordon who travel to Buckie Community High School, the updated schedule is especially beneficial. The new timetable adjusts the departure times, allowing for a later arrival and an earlier return home, which strikes a balance that many families had been advocating for.

The Return of Service 38: A Community Win

In addition to the changes in Service 35, the reinstatement of the 38 Buckie Circular town service is a major highlight. This bus route will once again connect Buckie and Elgin, ensuring that residents can easily access vital services such as Seafield Hospital. Operating hourly throughout the week, this service aims to cater to the diverse needs of the community.

Cllr. Sonya Warren expressed her enthusiasm for these developments, emphasizing the importance of efficient transport links for local residents. With a £2 fare cap making the service even more affordable, she encourages everyone to take advantage of the improvements and support this trial run.

A Call to Action

As these changes take effect on August 17, it will be crucial for the community to utilize the services to ensure their longevity. The voice of the public has made a difference, and the continued use of these routes will help sustain essential connections within Moray. This initiative represents not only a step forward for public transport but also a victory for community engagement, showcasing how listening to public concerns can lead to meaningful improvements.
