| 1. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 17th Sep 2025. 19:00 If you were looking for places to live with good public transport links (no driving), where would you be looking for 1. Daily commuting access to Edinburgh and Glasgow 2. In Dunfermline to have access to Edinburgh. Reply |
| 2. Author: NMCmassive Date: Wed 17th Sep 2025. 19:09 ipswichpar, Wed 17 Sep 19:00 1. Livingston or Dunfermline. 2. Like what area of Dunfermline? I would say either up St Margaret’s Fauld or in the Woodmill area for easy access to the train stations COYP Reply |

| 6. Author: NMCmassive Date: Wed 17th Sep 2025. 20:00 buffy, Wed 17 Sep 19:33 Am I right in thinking you can get the bus to Glasgow or Edinburgh from Halbeath Road? 🤔 definitely get a Glasgow bus, less sure of Edinburgh COYP Reply |
| 7. Author: buffy Date: Wed 17th Sep 2025. 22:43 Aye ye can get the bus direct to Glasgow from opposite EEP - X27. Unfortunately there is no longer a direct bus to Edinburgh. The X52 was halted just a couple of weeks ago with Stagecoach stating it was underused. It went through Duloch. It was a handy alternative for me - instead of getting the train - in heavy rain. The X55 leaves the bus station or a 19 to Halbeath P&R for a direct Edinburgh bus coming from the north. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |

The cancellation of the X52 has been a shocker. Stagecoach never promoted the service and even made it hard to find on their app (the app doesn`t consider Duloch to be in Dunfermline). I complained a few weeks ago to Stagecoach as the £7 return was supposed to be accepted on the 5 but the app and website don`t give this option and instead push you to buy a more expensive day rider. I`ve gone back to the train. I`d genuinely love to see someone come in a tear Stagecoach a new one. . Reply |

| 10. Author: ipswichpar Date: Thu 18th Sep 2025. 10:55 Thanks folks. Never great to hear about bus services being cancelled..... my travel to and from uni would have been a lot different without the 55 back in the day. Duloch looks quite nice, just perhaps a wee bit too far out. Reply |
| 11. Author: veteraneastender Date: Thu 18th Sep 2025. 11:42 Stirling is a good call, bus and train stations close together, two park n’ ride facilities, good shopping centre, modern sports village with fine pool, cinema complex - and hourly X22 service to Dunfermline via Alloa, suitable for home games !!!

| 12. Author: DBP Date: Thu 18th Sep 2025. 12:07 My oldest one lives in bridge of Allen (going through on Saturday) it’s just in the edge of Stirling, has its own train station and is really nice place, lovely centre, nice pubs, cafes shops etc plus great sports facilities at the uni Reply |
