Getting things done – Perth Road #dundeewestend

Residents have pointed out to us that bus service 39 could perhaps serve the western end of Perth Road, where there may be more potential usage, rather than Mallaig Avenue and Explorer Road. 


It would also assist tackle the dearth of public transport at the far west end of Perth Road.

We raised this with the Managing Director of Stagecoach East Scotland who has replied positively as follows :

“I’m pleased to be able to say that we will be offering some journeys on service 39 via this part of Perth Road when our timetables change on 3rd October. 

Details of the new timetables will be out approximately two weeks prior to that so information will be available from either our website stagecoachbus.com, the Stagecoach bus app or from our customer services team on 0345 241 8000.”
