Great video plan to do some touring round Scotland later in the year. Think we have got used to the £2 fares in England now so to hear you paid £26 for a single journey was a bit shocked.
I did this route on the 22/10/24 about 8 days ago after visiting the most northerly point in Mainland Britain nearby - Dunnet Head. On google maps, I was so pleased I could get the number 80 from Brough Post Box down to Castletown around 10:55 and the 11:59 X99 from there. 54133 I had which was losing acceleration minutes from Inverness Bus Station but with a turn off and on the driver got it going. A pity theres no USB's but thankfully it ran 😊.
Hi Great video, as a long exiled Scot, it was nice to see the homeland again.Last time did the Thurso to Inverness run was about 30plus years ago. Regards Crawford
Ah nice. Yeah the X99 is a lovely journey by bus to Inverness I've done it a few times. My last trip on the X99 was actually 30th September in 2023 so U travelled weeks after I did.
Both the Far North Line and Dunnethead are on my bucket list. I plan to scratch them off next week. Given all the cancellations with trains at the moment due to industrial action or the weather I might be riding this bus to get from Inverness to Thurso. Good to have a back up plan. Thanks for showing this
Nice video, good to meet you on this journey 👍🏻

I wonder how that compares to the train
Hi mate, thanks for watching - appreciated. Yeah I was too, fairy expensive but as it serves local communities along route I didn't mind paying.
Not bad for a 3.5 hour trip I think.
Free with a over 60s Scottish bus pass which under 22s are also entitled to.
