Fife fans can ‘JET’ off to Comic Con Scotland this October

Fife fans heading to Comic Con Scotland this October can leave the car behind and ‘JET’ off to the action from Dunfermline, with Stagecoach’s JET747 providing a convenient link from Halbeath Park & Ride to the event.

Buses run up to every 20 minutes and stop at Ingliston Showground – right beside the Royal Highland Centre, where Comic Con Scotland takes place on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October.

The popular event brings thousands of fans together for a weekend celebrating film, television, gaming, comics, cosplay and more.

For families in Dunfermline and across Fife, the JET747 offers an easy way to get to the event without the hassle of driving and finding somewhere to park.

Customers can leave their cars at Halbeath or Ferrytoll Park & Ride, where parking is free, and enjoy a direct journey towards the Royal Highland Centre travelling on a zero emission, electric bus service, offering a quieter and smoother journey as they make their way from Fife to the event and back.

Fiona Doherty, Stagecoach's Regional Director for Scotland, said: “Comic Con Scotland is a fantastic event for families, friends and fans of all ages, and we want to make it as easy as possible for our customers in Fife to get there.

"Our JET747 service provides a simple and convenient way for people travelling from Dunfermline and across Fife to get close to the action, with buses running up to every 20 minutes.

"With free parking at Halbeath and Ferrytoll, customers can leave the car behind, sit back and enjoy the journey: whether they’re heading to Comic Con, the airport or simply making the most of the October holidays.”

The JET747 operates from Halbeath Park & Ride, just outside Dunfermline, with connections from local Stagecoach services across Fife. Customers can check journey times, plan their trip and track their bus using the Stagecoach Bus App.
