Publication of timetables for local buses as well as trains, ferries and coaches for longer journeys. Includes information on ticketing for public transport.

As part of a balanced transport strategy the provision of good, reasonably priced public transport services is essential. Since bus operators provide few services commercially, this is done by providing the additional services required through local bus operators under contract to the South West of Scotland Transport Partnership (SWESTRANS).

We also endeavour to publish notices advising of changes and disruptions to service online. This page will be updated with any revised timetables as soon as possible after the changes take place.

New timetable booklet - The new timetable booklet are available from Bus operators, Customer Service Centres, Libraries and Tourist Information Centres

Although there are changes to the timetable, for the most part current service levels have been largely maintained.

The Council also took the opportunity to provide a small increase in funding to SWestrans. This has enabled some new links and some minor enhancements to existing routes which were recommend by SWestrans.
