Reinstate Sunday bus services between Auchterarder and Stirling
The bus service between Auchterarder and Stirling on Sundays stopped when Stagecoach stopped operating the service at the end of June. Docherty's Midland Coaches Auchterarder who operate the service through the week and on Saturdays along with the local service between Perth and Blackford have started to operate a Sunday service between Perth and Blackford. They will stop at Gleneagles train station on Sundays to allow passengers to catch trains to Stirling and on to Glasgow and Edinburgh but it would be more helpful if a Sunday bus link could be restored.
Why is this important?
It's important to have a continued bus link between Auchterarder and Stirling on a Sunday as there is on any other day of the week including Saturdays. Coming north on a train from Glasgow or Stirling to Gleneagles is a bit problematic with a wide gap between the train and platform on the northbound platform A restored bus connection between Stirling and Auchterarder on a Sunday would be safer too
