747 Aberdeen Airport–Peterhead
The 747 was an airport bus service which ran from Peterhead to Aberdeen Airport via Ellon. History The route was extended south starting on 21 January 2019 to also serve Montrose and Stonehaven, replacing the existing 107 service that operated between the two towns. The extension was added along with a new service, the 757, following public timetable consultations in September 2018. The routes were the first to use the newly opened Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. The new services operated on an hourly frequency and used Alexander Dennis Enviro200 single-decker buses. Passenger levels on services 747 and 757 were lower than expected. In August 2019, Stagecoach announced that it would withdraw service 757 completely and revise the route of the 747 to serve Balmedie. In April 2020, following continued low passenger numbers, the 747 service between Montrose and Aberdeen Airport was withdrawn. The 107 between Montrose and Stonehaven was reinstated, and the southern terminus of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route
The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), unofficially also the City of Aberdeen Bypass, is a major road that wraps around the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. The road stretches north from Stonehaven through Kincardineshire and crosses both the River Dee and River Don before terminating at Blackdog. The main stretch of the AWPR is in length. The AWPR also includes the A956 spur that links the bypass to the A92.
