The Travel Shop at St Andrews Bus Station is only open:
Monday to Thursday 10:00-12:30 and 13:30-16:00
Friday 10:00-12:30 and 13:30-15:00
Stance 1 - 99 - Dundee
Stance 2 - 95, X58 and X61 to Leven - via Crail, Anstruther, Largo etc - but check Stance 3 as well...
Stance 3 - X24 to Glasgow, X59 to Edinburgh and 787 to Edinburgh Airport - but check Stance 2 in case the bus is there...
Stance 4 - 90/90A/91/91A - local services within St Andrews - all go to the Community Hospital and Morrisons (but the X58 is quicker)
Petheram Bridge Car Park - the Moffat & Williamson 63 and M65 to Cupar and on to Glenrothes and or Newburgh
Sometimes a departing bus will not find a stance available - in which case it may pull up at the marked "Drop Off Zone" while the driver gets out to call for any waiting passengers...
St Andrews Bus Station can get quite busy, sometimes there are more buses than will fit on the stances.
Often arriving buses will drop passengers at Stance 5 and then wait away from the stances until their departure is due.
Often a bus wanting to wait on Stance 2 or 3 will find that there is a bus already there and will have to use another stance instead...
If you are travelling to Leven then the X58 is by far the quickest service (35 minutes travel time) - if you miss the X58 then it's usually worth catching an X61 (1 hour 5 minutes travel time) but the 95 is much slower (around 1 hour 40 minutes travel time) and it's generally worth waiting for an X58 as long as there is one due within the next hour...

The hourly Moffat & Williamson service 77 to Balmullo, Tayport and Newport now departs from the same stop as the 63/M65 in Petherham Bridge Car Park.
Another useful Moffat & Williamson service is the 64 to Strathkinness, Ceres and beyond - this uses a stop outside the St Andrews Students Union as its terminus - and the 77, 63 and M65 all use this stop too - so it's probably best thought of as the main Moffat & Williamson stop in St Andrews.
Typically (midweek, mid-day) there are now 3 sensible direct buses to Cupar every hour - the X59, the X24 and now also the 65 - if the expresses are having problems then the 63 may be your saviour - it departs from the stop in the car park along the footpath at the other side of the bus station from the usual stances.
