STAGECOACH has launched a new service connecting Dunfermline with Stirling.
It started on Monday and the X22 service calls at Oakley, Blairhall and Alloa and will provide journeys up to every hour, seven days a week.
The new bus service will enable students attending the University of Stirling to connect with Midland Bluebird’s Unilink service at Stirling Bus Station.
There have been calls for a better service between Dunfermline and Stirling for years and in February data suggested up to 400 students would use the bus.

Douglas Robertson, managing director of Stagecoach East Scotland, said: “Service X22 offers new and improved travel opportunities for commuters, students and leisure travellers between Dunfermline, West Fife and Stirling, including travel to Springkerse Retail Park, up to every hour.
“We look forward to seeing customers benefit from low-cost tickets, improved journey times and increased frequencies in the area.”
A new ticket has also been introduced which will offer those travelling between Alloa and Stirling a return journey for £5.50.
This can be purchased on board the X22 for return travel on the same day.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
