Update on bus service 4 #dundeewestend


Bus service 4 has not operated since the start of the COVID-19 health emergency.

As the only bus service covering Windsor Street, Magdalen Yard Road and Roseangle (as well as also passing Pentland and Logie), I asked Xplore Dundee if there is any chance of its resumption in the near future.

The company’s Operations Manager has responded as follows :

“Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to operate service 4.   We have had to concentrate all of our resources on mainstream services to allow for physical distancing measures.    I cannot give you any indication of when this will change.”

I will, however, update residents further when there is any change to this.
