Extra early morning journey
For the 150th Golf Open championship Stagecoach ran an extra early morning journey on the 95 as shown in the picture.
We would like to see a similar service every weekday.
But it would be good if it got to St Andrews before 06:00 - then it could connect with the 06:05 99 to Dundee, or the 06:00 X58 to Leven, or the 06:05 X59 to Edinburgh - though it would also be good if that X59 could once more connect with an X27 to Glasgow at Halbeath Park & Ride.
An arrival this early in St Andrews could be achieved by missing out Lower Largo, Colinsburgh and Kilconquhar from the 95 route - precedent has been established for missing out these stops in the current 95 timetable for those buses which need to make faster progress - and active passengers are generally able to walk from the missed stops to places on the reduced route.
In the same way if you really want to enable the bus to run faster the route could miss out Anstruther Harbour - like the ELM1 bus shown above - though it would be an idea to install an extra bus stop on Crail Road in Anstruther round about the junction with Ladywalk.
The simple provision of an approximation to the 95 that gets to St Andrews before 06:00 would enable so many more early journeys...
