The Secret Bunker in 2024
The Secret Bunker is open for the 2024 season from 1st February.
Opening times are 7 days a week, 10am to 5pm.
Contact them on 01333 310301 for more details and special event openings .
Or see Scotland's Secret Bunker website at: https://www.secretbunker.co.uk/
There is a bus you can use all year round to get to the Secret Bunker or other rural sites near Crail - the Go-Flexi F4:
Fife Council have recently updated their information on the various Go-Flexi bus services - you can find their information at http://go-flexi.org
The service is run by Moffat & Williamson and they have more details at: https://moffat-williamson.co.uk/go-flexi
You can telephone 01382 540 624 to book the Go-Flexi service at least an hour before you want to travel.
New for 2024 is an App to run on your Apple or Android phone that allows you to book journeys on your smartphone - the relevant App link is at: https://link.eastne.uk/goflexi
Beware that once you "Submit" a booking request the App supplies more accurate pickup and arrival times and you have to "Accept Booking" before your booking expires - or "Decline" the proposed journey and submit a different request - otherwise when the expiry time arrives you will lose your booking...
There is an "App manual" online at: https://www.fife.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0036/567846/How-to-Use-the-Go-Flexi-App.pdf with more advice on using the App.
As the Go-Flexi service is not run by Stagecoach they don't accept Stagecoach Fife Dayrider bus tickets - but the price is reasonable and they do accept Scottish Concessionary Bus Travel Cards and the ABC bus tickets and One-Ticket which could be useful if you are visiting from further away.
And, you will see from the Zone map that this bus can take you to the Secret Bunker from places like Colinsburgh and Kilconquhar - and it can take you to other places in the area like Kellie Castle.
Or, if you are coming from outwith the coverage area, you can arrange for the Flexi-Bus to pick you up in Crail, Anstruther or any of the other Bus Interchange Points marked on the map.
The rules about how far the bus can take you can be quite complicated - and the Go-Flexi bus is not intended to replace the normal bus services, but rather to serve places that the normal bus doesn't get to.Â
You may have to use a normal bus to get to or from an "Interchange point" in order to connect with the Go-Flexi bus.
The Go-Flexi bus is often used to fill in for the normal bus if that is diverted off its normal route by roadworks.
Note that not all the information online has been updated with the new F7 and F8 zones.
For example the Moffat & Williamson map still shows the old numbers, and the old Fife Council information is still available at:
This includes the previous, now out of date, F4 route leaflet from Fife Council - it may be useful in giving other information about how the service works: https://www.fife.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0019/160327/c64_F4_leaflet.pdf
