On 1 January, the company will run limited services to a number of towns and cities across the country including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Stirling, Kinross, Halbeath, Dundee, Aberdeen, Aviemore and Inverness.
Scottish Citylink has also announced that it will once again run special coach services for people travelling home from the Edinburgh Hogmanay celebrations.

Scottish Citylink Operations Director Simone Smith said: “Last year was a tough festive season for everyone so it feels great to be back operating at pre-pandemic service levels and, most of all, to be helping people visit their family and friends.
“As always, we would recommend that customers book their travel in advance wherever possible, and we look forward to celebrating an enjoyable festive season this year with our passengers.”
