Stagecoach changes planned

Stagecoach are consulting on some planned service changes in the Forth Valley area from late September, although most have already been launched as part of their current Covid timetables.
Services affected include Service 8 being withdrawn between Kincardine-Falkirk, although Service 28 has been increased to two hourly to compensate. Service 8A Dunfermline-Alloa continues, but is diverted back to Alloa Road in Clackmannan. Service 23 Stirling- St Andrews is to be withdrawn , and X24 Express services will no longer serve Glasgow Airport.  You can give your views on all the changes here.

Alloa rail improvements finally launch on Monday

Improvements to Scotrail's Alloa- Glasgow train service will finally launch next week, three months behind schedule, because of services being restricted because of the Covid-19 shutdown. Alloa trains continued to operate an hourly service during the shutdown, but will be increased to half hourly for most of the day  (there are a few hours where the service remains hourly) Monday-Saturday.  The improvement is due to Dunblane trains being diverted to Alloa, with Dunblane being served by Aberdeen trains.
