Hazlehead School Bus reprieve

With the withdrawal of funding for bus routes in Aberdeen, there was a great deal of community concern about the future of the number 52 Route which runs twice a day, on week days, between Mannofield and Hazlehead Academy.

With the support of our local councillors, the Community Council lobbied First Aberdeen to continue the service.  

On 5 April, First Aberdeen advised that they were introducing timetable adjustments to the 15 bus service to absorb the 52 service into that route and ensure continuity of service for pupils travelling to and from Hazlehead Academy.  The adjusted route will renamed the 15S.

The new timetabling will begin on Sunday 16 April.

The Community Council are delighted that First Aberdeen have retained this very important route and that our calls for it's continuation on grounds of safety were heeded.

We would like to thank our local councillors for their support and the residents who contacted us and shared information that allowed us to present the case for retention.
