Changes down at the Travel Centre (or Bus Station)- summer is bid farewell, but with the changing of the timetables comes a welcome improvement in how they are displayed.
Following a public plea in The Orcadian describing how binoculars are necessary to read the timetables when the waiting room is closed, the Council has made improvements to the availability of travel information outwith centre opening hours. Information notices will now be displayed on the windows letting the public know the opening hours and contact telephone numbers for operators. Bus Stand 1 will now display the air and ferry timetables for the winter.
Individual bus timetables will be displayed in the bus stands as usual.
The public are reminded that the opening hours for the bus waiting area of the Travel Centre will also change from September 1st, and the opening hours will now be Monday to Saturday 08:30 – 17:30, with travel centre staff available between 08:30 – 09:30 and 15:30-17:30. The travel centre will be closed on a Sunday.
