Scottish Citylink 

On Scottish Citylink services priority is given to boarding 

those passengers who have a reserved ticket. In the case of 

Concession Card holders they may reserve their journeys in 

advance of travel at a charge of 50p per journey which then 

entitles them to the same priority as any other class of reserved 

ticket holder. Thereafter the driver will take passengers on 

board in queue order subject to there being any remaining 

seats available. Seat reservations may be made in advance of 

travel by telephoning 08705 50 50 50, by visiting 

www.citylink.co.uk on the web or by visiting any Scottish Citylink 

Travel Centre or agent. 

For all local and national public transport timetables and journey 

planning information, call Traveline Scotland on 0871 200 22 33, 

or visit www.travelinescotland.com. Lines are open 24 hours a 

day, seven days a week. Calls cost 10p per minute from BT 

Landlines. Charges from mobiles or other providers may vary. 

On 1 April 2006 the Scottish Executive's national transport 

agency, Transport Scotland, launched a scheme which 

gives older people and people with disabilities free bus travel 

anywhere in Scotland. People who live in the area covered by 

The Strathclyde Concessionary Travel Scheme will also be able 

to use the card to get cheaper fares on First ScotRail trains 

and the Glasgow Subway. For more information or to apply 

for a new entitlement card, please call 0845 601 6499 or email 

general queries to freebus@spt.co.uk. 

This scheme was originally set up in recognition of the 

difficulties and expense involved in travelling to and from 

hospital for people resident in remote communities. The 

scheme operates for people who live within Argyll and Bute, 

part of the NHS Highland area. If you are a patient travelling 

by public transport to a UK hospital for NHS treatment or 

appointments you may be able to reclaim part of your travelling 

expenses under this scheme. For further information, contact
