Each column is one journey, headed by the time it sets off; one that finishes short of the usual end says where ("to …") — not every journey on this route runs the whole way. A · means that journey does not stop there. Times are shown at the route's main timing stops — buses serve all stops in between. Switch a table to All stops for every stop it calls at, or open a stop's own page for live departures there.

Christmas & bank holidays

- Tuesday, 29 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Tuesday (167 journeys in both directions together, against 108), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Stagecoach East Scotland before you travel.
- Wednesday, 30 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Wednesday (167 journeys in both directions together, against 108), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Stagecoach East Scotland before you travel.
