As of 5th May 2014 there are major changes to the regular service 35 bus through Newmachar. The service will no longer run all the way from Aberdeen to Inverness but will only run on the Aberdeen to Elgin section of that route. But, during the day the service will operate every half hour over the entire route, increasing the frequency of services on the Banff to Elgin section. And, all of the buses will operate via Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
The net effects of the changes are therefore:
- that if you want to travel further than Elgin you will need to change in Elgin, or it may turn out to be quicker to travel towards Aberdeen first and to cross the A96 in Bucksburn to catch the number 10 bus service through Elgin to Inverness
- services on route 35 may be less subject to delays and cancellations than they have been previously, as they will no longer be subject to traffic conditions between Inverness and Elgin
- getting to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary from Newmachar/Kingseat will be easier as the service will now be every half hour, rather than hourly
- getting to Inverness Airport will be easier as the bus which replaces the number 35 on the Elgin to Inverness section of the route is the number 11 which goes via Inverness Airport and runs every half hour during the main part of the day
