Scottish Citylink upgrades Aberdeen routes

Scottish Citylink has revealed what it describes as a huge capacity upgrade on its Aberdeen routes.

The ComfortDelGro- and Stagecoach-owned company’s summer timetable, which was introduced last month, has seen the introduction of over 4,000 extra seats on routes to and from the city. The extra capacity has been delivered through the introduction of enhanced frequency and bigger vehicles.

Scottish Citylink is this year celebrating 40 years in business, with a host of events planned throughout 2025. 

The coach operator also recently added 200 new TransMach contactless ticket machines to its fleet, which accept contactless payments along with ITSO smartcards and QR codes generated by travel apps and booking systems. 

“Our Aberdeen services are key routes on our network” – Scottish Citylink Managing Director, Simone Walsh

Scottish Citylink Managing Director, Simone Walsh, said: “Our Aberdeen services are key routes on our network, carrying thousands of customers each week. We’re delighted to be able to introduce even more seats, and more services to the routes between Aberdeen and Edinburgh and Glasgow to make it even easier for people to stay connected this summer. 

“It’s another great way to celebrate our 40th birthday year – by doing what we do best which is delivering great value, reliable and high quality coach services across Scotland and we very much hope people enjoy their summer travels with us.”
