New 65 timetable between St Andrews and Perth starts Monday 19th August 2024
A new composite timetable from Stagecoach shows how the 65 integrates with the various revised Moffat & Williamson services: M36, 63, M65.
It also makes clear that both Moffat & Williamson and Stagecoach tickets will be accepted on both sections of the old "36" route between Glenrothes and Perth.
And that Stagecoach tickets will be accepted on the M65.
65 August 2024.pdfSunday evening timetables change on the 95 from Sunday 4th August
Buses from St Andrews will depart at 20:05 and hourly thereafter instead of the usual weekday evening times of 19:50 and every hour after that. The new latest departure will be at 5 minutes past midnight getting to Crail High Street at 00:30 on Monday morning.
This allows the Sunday evening service to be operated by 3 buses and have better timings meeting trains at Leven.
Limited Stops on Stagecoach Express from Monday 29th July 2024

Stagecoach Zones get bigger from Sunday 2nd June 2024
It makes sense! The North East Fife Stagecoach Ticket Zone is expanding to include Leven and Glenrothes, so it will be as cheap to travel to Leven to catch the train as it is to travel to Leuchars or Dundee.
The new travel zone boundaries match the ABC Dundee & East Fife Zone boundary - something which again makes some sense.
The adult day ticket price stays the same at £8.50.
Other Stagecoach Zones are getting bigger at the same time - for more details see: https://www.stagecoachbus.com/service-updates/serviceupdatesarticle?SituationId=ID-27/05/2024-15:16:21:201
