Dundee Travel Forum

Hi all,

I'm in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, and need to get to Edinburgh Airport for around 10:00 on the 26th December.

Previously, I've got a bus to Dundee Seagate and used the MegaBus service to get to the airport via the FerryToll park and ride, but this time they don't have a service which is early enough for me. I would be grateful for your pointers. Many thanks.

The Scottish CityLink website lists a bus that leaves Dundee Seagate at 08.00 and arrives in Edinburgh at 09.45. It is listed as a megabus. If this is the case, then you could hop off before the St Andrew's bus station - don't know where they stop but if all else fails, then you could get off at Haymarket and catch the airport bus from the other side of the road. As I assume that they must use the same stops at the CityLink buses, then you could get off at ...... darn it, I've forgotton the name..... the stop at the big roundabout with the hotel just as you enter Edinburgh. Sorry, but it's the first stop in Edinburgh. Then you could cross the road and get the airport bus. Or, if it is indeed a megabus such as you have caught before, then it is possible that you can do your FerryToll park and ride route.
The trains ervice appears to be onon-existent on the 26th.
The only other suggestions is taxi or car rental.

Many thanks for the advice. As it happens I'm now flying earlier, but your guidance may well be useful in future.

I found citylink (operator - Megabus) to have a bus leaving Dundee Seagate at 06:05 arriving at Edinburgh St. Andrew Sq at 08:05 ~ what time is your new flight time?
