Late night bus service

If you are planning an evening at the cinema, a meal out or just visiting family and friends, there’s a new late night bus service leaving Kirkwall and serving East Mainland, West Mainland and Kirkwall & Orphir on Friday and Saturdays until March 2023.

The trial, which began on 1 July 2022, is being run at no extra cost to the Council with funding from the Scottish Government’s Smarter Choices Smarter Places scheme, with buses operated by Stagecoach.

The timings have been designed to fit in with Pickaquoy Centre closing times and have taken on board past feedback from the public.

The services are in addition to late night buses already available on the X1 and X10 timetable.
