Oban network update

Oban network update

Thursday 13 October

Following a review of our August network changes and feedback from the local community, we are pleased to be making some changes to our Oban services from Monday 24 October.  The amends, which have been made in partnership with Argyll and Bute Council, address our customer's concerns about the level of service provision in Catalina Avenue, Oban Airport and the Barcaldine area.  We have added extra bus miles and amended some frequencies to ensure the full network is served. The changes include: 

Service 1/401

•     A new journey option for Nant Drive has been introduced. Operating every two hours and on request only.

•     We’ve adjusted the school day afternoon journeys to serve Oban Primary Campus and Oban High School.

•     We’ve added extra time to increase reliability.

Service 5/405

•     We’ve introduced an extra two return journeys a day to Barcaldine.

•     To accommodate the Barcaldine journeys, we’ve adjusted two journeys in each direction to operate directly between Oban and Creagan Bridge. On these two journeys only, we will not serve Connel Village and Etive Park.

•     We’ve reinstated some journeys to Oban Airport.

Service 416

•     A new hourly service to Glengallan Road and Catalina Avenue

•     To serve Glengallan Rd and Catalina Avenue, we will now operate via Mossfield hourly rather than half-hourly.
