Grangemouth served by F15 Alloa-Falkirk route
From Monday 2nd June, most journeys on service Stagecoach service F15 will be re-routed to serve Grangemouth town centre, at the request of Falkirk Council. Between Skinflats and Falkirk Stadium, buses will run via Forth-Clyde Way, Union Road, Kerse Road, Bo'ness Road and Earl's Road.

Times of buses within Falkirk will change, but the timetable between Skinflats and Alloa is mostly unaffected.

Railway line rebuild starts next month
The Scotsman this week reports that Alloa rail passengers face disruption for the next five years while the line to Stirling, which only reopened in 2008, is shut for major repairs
Week-long closures of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine line start next month, when parts of the route will be largely rebuilt because of problems with the way it was constructed.
Network Rail, which did not build the 13-mile line, said the first shutdown would be in the week starting on 23 February, and affect only coal trains, as it involves work at Kennett.
A second closure, from 23 March, will involve work at Cambus and is expected to force passengers to switch to buses between Alloa and Stirling.
The Scotsman understands further week-long closures are expected at least once a year until 2019 to complete the work.
An industry source told the paper, “There will be more closures, with the same level of activity over the next five years, with work of a similar type at different locations. It is estimated to cost a total of £15-20m.”

Alloa-Kincardine buses run together
With the revised F15 service from August 19th running every two hours, the H1 Hospital service diverted via Kincardine, and the existing 78 service between Stirling & Dunfermline, it will mean that there are three buses linking Kincardine with Alloa.
However, the new timetables mean that all three services will leave Alloa within 7 minutes, with 53 minutes to wait for the next one. From Kincardine, the H1 & F15 will operate alternate hours, but still no more than 6 minutes apart from the 78.
On a positive note the F15 on a Sunday morning now begins from Alloa at 0900 (4 hours earlier than previous), with a feeder X78 from Dunfermline to Alloa arriving 0858. Note however the current last bus east from Alloa at 2314 (M-Sa) will now depart 2255, and that due to Clackmannanshire no longer funding the F15,it wont serve Alloa Bowhouse or Clackmannan Main Street.
