Scottish Citylink launch Dundee to Oban route

Scottish Citylink has officially launched its new summer service which sees the Perth and Oban route reintroduced and extended to Dundee.

Representatives from Citylink, Perth and Kinross Council, Argyll and Bute Council and Dundee Council marked the launch of the new route at Seagate Bus Station in Dundee.

There will be two journeys between Perth and Oban each way Friday to Monday with one extended to Dundee. The timetable runs from 3rd June until 2nd October.

The additional service is the result of partnership working between Citylink, Perth and Kinross Council, Argyll and Bute Council and Stirling Council who have all made a financial contribution to the provision of the route.

Scottish Citylink is committed to providing a comprehensive service throughout Scotland and the new route is part of the company’s plans to provide a timetable to serve as many people as possible.

Citylink Marketing Manager, Paul Murphy is delighted that Citylink is able to add a new service to its ever-expanding timetable.

He said: “This new service provides a direct link between Dundee and Oban and also connects the east coast with the west coast without having to travel via Glasgow.”

The journey time from Dundee to Oban is 3 hours 35 minutes and fares start at £5 single.

Connections are also available at Tyndrum for Fort William and Skye and at Killin for Aberfeldy.
