To ask the Scottish Government, further to the statement by Derek Mackay on 8 December 2015 (Official Report, c. 10), what meetings it has had with Stagecoach regarding operating bus shuttle services between Halbeath park-and-ride and Inverkeithing railway station; whether these included discussions about the travel times and, if so, what the estimated times were, and for what reason it was determined that such a service would not be provided.

The answer

The travel plan to mitigate the travel disruption as a result of the Forth Road Bridge closure has involved Stagecoach as a key stakeholder, in their capacity as a major bus operator incorporating the Fife, cross Forth area. The links between Inverkeithing and Halbeath were discussed and it was agreed that passengers could use the 747 shuttle bus service with an anticipated journey time of 10 minutes between Inverkeithing and Halbeath.

Answered by Derek Mackay on 18 Dec 2015.
