PUBLIC BUS
GUIDE
WINTER 2024/25
Promoting sustainable travel in and around Orkney, all mainland public bus services are operated by
Stagecoach using their low-floored accessible Euro 6 low emission fleet.
With the exception of the X1 route, public bus services in Orkney are operated under a contracted basis
and are funded by Orkney Islands Council. If you have any comments or feedback regarding public
transport, please contact the Transportation Team at transport@orkney.gov.uk or call 01856 873535.
All bus timetable information can be found online at: www.orkney.gov.uk/bus
Orkney Mainland - Hail and Ride
All you need to do to catch a bus is wait at a safe point on the route and hail the driver as the
bus approaches. When you wish to leave the bus, ring the bell once in good time as the bus
approaches your stop.
Note: winter and summer bus timetables for Houton and Tingwall ferries (services 2 & 6) coincide
with Orkney Ferries timetables - summer period operates from first Sunday in May to last Sunday
in September each year.

The public bus services across Orkney Mainland are timetabled to avoid school transport times so that the
same driver and bus can operate both services for efficiency and Best Value. Therefore, some timetables
are highlighted to show amendments during school term time, or school holidays (Easter, Summer, October
and Christmas). School term dates can be found online at: orkney.gov.uk/schools
* Some Secondary School buses are currently registered to carry fare paying passengers during term-time
subject to available capacity. Therefore these services may be subject to change.
Thistle Assistance Card - Thistle Assistance is an initiative to help you feel safer and more comfortable
when using public transport. It's free to use for anyone who needs it. The card is recognised by
a wide range of public transport providers across Scotland. Cards are available to pick-up from
various locations including Kirkwall & Stromness Travel Centres and various Transport Operators.
For more info go to thistleassitance.com
Free Bus Travel - If you are Under 22, over 60 or have a disability and live in Scotland, you are eligible to
apply for free public bus travel. You can apply online at getyournec.scot or contact the Transport Team at
Orkney Islands Council, email: transport@orkney.gov.uk
Service X1 operates commercially by Stagecoach without financial support from Orkney Islands Council,
X1 therefore we have no control over changes or amendments to the timetable. However, we work with the operator
and pass on timetabling suggestions for consideration.
E Friday and Saturday evening bus services now operate in the East Mainland, West Mainland and Kirkwall
and Orphir areas. Continuation of these services will be subject to external grant funding and usage.
Note: Bus timetables may be subject to change to coincide with local events / ferry timetable changes.
Timetables are correct at the time of going to print (October 2024), however, in the event that timings may
change, we recommend that you contact the appropriate operator.
