Bus operators in Tayside and Fife are reporting delays to several services due to congestion.

Both Xplore Dundee and Stagecoach East Scotland said buses were being held up on Monday by heavy traffic in Dundee, Perth, Arbroath and Dunfermline.

Xplore is urging passengers on its number 10 service to use stops on Balunie Avenue and Arbroath Road, due to delays on Baldovie Road, near Sainsbury’s.

This is in place until 6pm today (Monday).

Meanwhile, on Monday afternoon Stagecoach East Scotland reported delays on several services including:

  • 20/21 Dundee to Stracathro
  • 39 Arbroath to Perth PRI
  • 73 Ninewells Hospital to Arbroath
  • 57 Dundee to Perth
  • 59 Dundee to Blairgowrie

Services in Perth city centre have also been affected.

In a cryptic post on X, the operator said: “Working on a puzzle in Perth.

“Our services might hit a speed bump due to city centre congestion, but bring on that chessboard – we’re strategising to get back on track.”

A later post by Stagecoach said: “Due to heavy traffic around Perth, our services are experiencing delays of up to 45 minutes.

“We’re working hard to minimise the disruption, but the congestion on the roads is impacting our efforts.”

“We appreciate your patience and understanding during this busy time. Thank you

Meanwhile, congestion in Arbroath has also caused delays on services 30, 40 and 43/43A.

Stagecoach also had to cancel an X55 bus between Dunfermline and Edinburgh due to heavy traffic.
