Service Improvements from 09 January - G01, H1 and H2

Service Improvements from 09 January

Thursday 22 December

We are pleased to confirm that from Monday 09 January we will be introducing the following service improvements:

Service G01- Galashiels Stirling Street stance 8 for Heriot

On school days only, service G01 which previously operated a school contract will be open to the public.  This service departs Heriot at 0749, allowing residents in Fountainhall Village to access a direct morning journey to Galashiels at 0805.

This service also operates a return journey, departing Stirling Street Stance 8 at 1540 Monday to Thursday and 1315 on Fridays, back to the village.  This provides an additional journey between Galashiels Stirling Street stance 8 to Heriot (school days only).

Services H1 and H2 – Hawick town service

Due to the re-opening of Commercial Road, these services will revert back to operating via Commercial Road from both Stirches and Vertish Hill to Mart Street and Burnfoot.

This will allow customers to board and alight at Sainsbury’s bus stop for all businesses.  The H1, 1548 journey, which operates on school days only, Monday to Thursday from Stirches to Burnfoot for Mart Street will remain in place.

We urge all customers to use our journey planner available on the Borders Buses app or on bordersbuses.co.uk.
