If you were looking for places to live with good public transport links (no driving), where would you be looking for
1. Daily commuting access to Edinburgh and Glasgow
2. In Dunfermline to have access to Edinburgh.

1. Livingston or Dunfermline.
2. Like what area of Dunfermline? I would say either up St Margaret’s Fauld or in the Woodmill area for easy access to the train stations

Am I right in thinking you can get the bus to Glasgow or Edinburgh from Halbeath Road? 🤔 definitely get a Glasgow bus, less sure of Edinburgh

Aye ye can get the bus direct to Glasgow from opposite EEP - X27.
Unfortunately there is no longer a direct bus to Edinburgh. The X52 was halted just a couple of weeks ago with Stagecoach stating it was underused. It went through Duloch. It was a handy alternative for me - instead of getting the train - in heavy rain. The X55 leaves the bus station or a 19 to Halbeath P&R for a direct Edinburgh bus coming from the north.

1. Falkirk. Livingston`s stations are both in crap locations and the trains are incredibly slow.
2. City Centre, Garvock, Whitefield road way.
The cancellation of the X52 has been a shocker. Stagecoach never promoted the service and even made it hard to find on their app (the app doesn`t consider Duloch to be in Dunfermline). I complained a few weeks ago to Stagecoach as the £7 return was supposed to be accepted on the 5 but the app and website don`t give this option and instead push you to buy a more expensive day rider. I`ve gone back to the train. I`d genuinely love to see someone come in a tear Stagecoach a new one.

Thanks folks.
Never great to hear about bus services being cancelled..... my travel to and from uni would have been a lot different without the 55 back in the day.
Duloch looks quite nice, just perhaps a wee bit too far out.

Stirling is a good call, bus and train stations close together, two park n’ ride facilities, good shopping centre, modern sports village with fine pool, cinema complex - and hourly X22 service to Dunfermline via Alloa, suitable for home games !!!

My oldest one lives in bridge of Allen (going through on Saturday) it’s just in the edge of Stirling, has its own train station and is really nice place, lovely centre, nice pubs, cafes shops etc plus great sports facilities at the uni

True enough that it might not win in terms of actual live ability but transport wise it`s a sound choice. Stirling is probably preferable but the travel times aren`t as good.

Worrying that you know Lana Wolfs whereabouts……have you been featuring in her website?

😂 Got to make living somehow.
No, the reason for being aware is the house was "unique" and not because of her method of making money. Definitely loves the royals.

"Quite popular with OF footballers is it not?"
Terry Butcher moved there and then ran a local hotel for a few years in retirement if memory serves.
It is generally an affluent area, likewise nearby Dunblane.
