Christmas & bank holidays
These dates are not the usual timetable for the day they fall on. They come from the operator’s published data, which for Christmas and New Year is often late or incomplete, so check with Stagecoach East Scotland before you travel. Everything above is an ordinary week.
Not published yet: Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, 28 December, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and 2 January. Operators often publish festive timetables only a few weeks ahead, so check again nearer the date.
- Tuesday, 29 December 2026 The operator’s data lists more buses on this date than on an ordinary Tuesday (7 journeys each way, against 5), 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 (7 journeys each way, against 5), which usually means two timetables have been added together by mistake. Check with Stagecoach East Scotland before you travel.
