Good news for bus users

Saline and Steelend Community Council’s Dave Quinney has discovered that the current 72 bus service from Steelend to Culross is to be replaced in August by a new service 28.

This will be extended eastwards to Wellwood, Dunfermline and Queen Margaret Hospital, and westwards to Kincardine and Falkirk. A couple of evening journeys will also be introduced.

The community council welcomed this news but issued a “Use it or lose it“ warning.

According to Helen Law who led the protests about changes to the previous services, “This is good news for all of the West Fife Villages.

“The new service will improve links between the inland and coastal villages, will provide a service to rural parts that have no service at present and will give many access to express services to Glasgow via Kincardine. However, this service is subsidised by Fife Council and we appreciate our councillors’ effort but, unless people use it, there is a danger that the service will be lost.”
