Due to resurfacing work in the vicinity of the Aytoun Hall, Auchterarder High Street will be closed to traffic on Saturday, 27 February 2021 (daytime). As a result , Docherty’s Midland Coaches Town Bus Service will not be able to operate its normal route along the High Street.
On this day Service 49 will operate a revised timetable (see here), with all journeys going via Rossie Place and Montrose Road.
The nearest bus stops for passengers to the town centre will be on Montrose Road and High Street (at/opposite the Spar).
Copies of the revised Service 49 timetable are available from the Town Bus Service driver.
In addition to Service 49, the closure of the High Street on 27 February 2021 will also impact on Service 19/20 and Service 17. Service 19 will follow the Town Bus Service 49 diversion and pick up/drop-off passengers in Montrose Road and at the Spar. Service 17 will not operate past the High Street to Townhead etc, and will pick up in Montrose Road.
Finally, a further full closure of the High Street is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 13 March 2021 at the junction of the High Street with Rossie Place. The route of Service 49 will need to be changed again, with details of a different, revised, timetable to be published in early March 2021.
