News From Orkney Islands Council

Bus timetables for Orkney Mainland and the linked South Isles return to normal from today, Monday 27 July.

In line with Scottish Government guidance for public transport, passengers are reminded that face coverings should be worn when boarding and during their journey by bus.

One-metre physical distancing measures are in place on buses and this reduces the number of passengers that can be carried.

Changes made for Bus Routes 2 (Kirkwall – Houton) and 6 (Kirkwall – Tingwall) remain in place to fit in with revised ferry timetables.

The timetables that come into effect on Monday are available here.

There is also a very handy Stagecoach App that provides the user with updates when a bus is due and other information.
