37635 SV05 FXS Papermill

The Turquoise Line 19 has been increased from every 15 to 12 minutes and also rerouted via Papermill.

 

Papermill is a new housing development on the site of the old Donside Papermill. Had First got its way many year ago this would have been the site of its global HQ and depot but opposition from nearby Tilydrone residents halted plans.

 

The new Papermill service goes very close to Balgownie Drive (the flats evident in the trees behind). Balgownie Drive residents have repeatedly called for a bus service to be restored after First withdrew services in 2006 but have so far fallen on deaf ears. Although the 19 goes so close to Balgownie Drive there is the small matter of the a River Don that gets in the way.

 

Notably although the 19 now runs via Papermill there are no bus stops on the new stretch for it to stop.
