A new bus timetable is to be introduced by 5 May, including additional services between Aberdeen and Stonehaven.

Stagecoach are now asking customers to look at the proposals and share their thoughts, whether in support of the revisions or expressing any concerns.

Managing director Steve Walker said: “Our monitoring has shown that some of the routes would benefit from these proposed timetable changes to increase journey reliability above all else, so it’s important we get these changes right.

“We’re asking our customers and indeed prospective customers to let us know what they think, so we can take any comments on board and make any amendments where possible.”

The proposed timetable includes these local changes:

Monday – Friday Additional X7 journeys at 0840 and 1645 ex Stonehaven and 0925 and 1600 ex Aberdeen. Service X6 at 1655 ex Aberdeen retimed to operate 5 minutes later. Service 7 at 1740 ex Aberdeen to become a service 7B.

Saturday 1615 Service 7 ex Aberdeen to become a 7B, 1730 Service 7 ex Aberdeen retimed to 1740 and additional 1720 Service 7B ex Aberdeen.
