West Lothian changes

First are making changes to their network on January 28th, including the reinstatement of a 15 minute frequency of the Service 38 from Stirling through to Edinburgh. Since August, alternative journeys from Stirling were terminated in Linlithgow.

Citylink 909 timetable adjustments

Citylink have made some timing changes to their 909 service between Stirling & Edinburgh. Early morning coaces are running a few minutes earler than before. The biggest change is to the X909 Service which now starts at Dunblane @ 0645, some 15 minutes earlier than before, running via Stirling, Bannockburn, Plean and Forth Valley Hospital before arriving in Edinburgh @0835.

Cambusbarron & Rural Stirlingshire changes

Council supported services C11 & C12 in West Stirlingshire have been changed to improve journey times into Stirling. The service had previously been amended to include Cambusbarron on the routes, which increased journey times. Now services from Aberfoyle daytimes and Balfron in the evening will operate direct to Stirling, then extend to Cambusbarron.
See the links for revised timetables for the C11 & C12. 

Stagecoach timetable adjustments start Monday

Stagecoach are making some small changes to timetables from Monday (Nov 26th).
Among them, a small, but subtle change to Services 8A/B in the Alloa area. Departures from Alloa to Dunfermline will now leave 3 minutes earlier, ahead of the H1/2 hospital buses.
Inbound to Alloa, buses will run a minute earlier from Kincardine.
From the same date, there's an additional X27 to Glasgow leaving Kincardine at 0600 Mon-Fri.

Scotrail December timetable enhancements

Scotrail have announced timetable improvements to take effect from December, utilising their new 385 electric trains. High profile changes include quicker journeys between Glasgow & Edinburgh via Falkirk High, with average journey times cut to 47 minutes. Falkirk Grahamston now gets 4 trains an hour to Edinburgh, with the introduction of a half hourly Glasgow-Edinburgh services via Cumbernauld. Existing Dunblane-Edinburgh services will be around 5 minutes quicker, as they'll no longer serve Polmont & Linlithgow.
Alloa & Dunblane services will see new electric trains, but not on all journeys yet, so some services will be quicker than others, resulting in a rather erratic timetable.

#How's this for irony? The day after the new timetable was announced, trains in the Stirling area were delayed by "an object caught in the overhead wires" - and they're not even switched on yet!
