Even with a Young Scots concession card, it seems to be costing a lot of money for my offspring to take the bus to Inverness (£22.50 return on the day).
I cannot find the web site for buying tickets in advance - followed various links and I still can't find the right routes.
Can anyone please help me understand how to save money using the buses? (pathetic huh?)
The train is cheaper, but takes an hour and a half longer and that's quite apart from the recent strikes!
Gorden Bennetts!! That's expensive. Can't help you with your query though I'm afraid, but sure some other orger will.

Easy to do and cheaper to buy in advance.:)
Our son always buys his tickets on line Edinburgh to Thurso if he books well in advance can get to Inverness for anything From £1-£5 then up to Thurso can be about £16 or more The state of some of the buses they should be paying people for travelling on them!!:roll:

I have been trying to book tickets online but it keeps coming up that journey planner cannot find anything for this route?? (Castletown-Inverness)
You're right I tried it out and it won't give Castletown. Maybe the buses only run via Halkirk? You'd best check it out by telephone.
Some buses go via Halkirk but most go via Castletown and Wick. Try putting in Thurso as that will give you both and I don't suppose makes much difference to the fare.
Edit - just tried it on the Citylink website. It found Castletown to Inverness, no problem. Don't bother with Stagecoach website, it's hopeless.
It was the citylink website i was on and i also put in Thurso but no joy? [disgust]
