DA Baracus Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Train to Aberdeen. Train from Aberdeen to Keith or Elgin. Bus from Keith or Elgin. Right, Buckie fans; tell us about pubs in your town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 It's a shame yesterday's posts have had to be culled (see the announcements board for further details) but I'd reckoned about 4-500 might head up for this based on the Elgin game a few years back. Anyone agree or disagree? Are there any shops or nice wee cafés to sit in that the missus can enjoy while I'm at the game or am I as well dropping her off at Aviemore or something?

Right, Buckie fans; tell us about pubs in your town It's two buses from Keith to Buckie (need to change in Fochabers, crossing the road to come back on yourself). Buckie is on the Elgin-Fochabers-Buckie-Dyce-Aberdeen Stagecoach bus 35 route. So if not coming at it from the Elgin end, get off the train at either Aberdeen or Dyce. travelinescotland.com is a good site for multi-mode journey planning.

I'd recommend dropping her in the Drouthy Cobbler in Elgin. Decent menu, Aspels Cider and Staropramen lager on draught, and some very attractive young barmen to keep her entertained. P.S. There's f**k all in Buckie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters bus. If not, check the times and prices going via Inverness rather than Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Aye she quite enjoyed the shopping in Elgin when we were there for the cup game. It's about 30 minutes to Buckie from there, aye? Shouldn't be too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've checked out it and you are correct re the two buses, but it still seems like the easiest route. It's only a few minutes wait in Fochabers. f**k getting the bus from Aberdeen or Dyce though. It takes almost 3 hours. Only a madman would do such a thing. Also getting the train to Elgin then the bus from Elgin to Keith is an option.

10menwent2mow Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Aye the Aberdeen to Buckie bus is a complete non starter. Takes forever. If you can get to Elgin it's only about 45 mins on the bus from there. Other way to do it would be train to Keith and then a taxi from there.

TheScarf Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yep, Aberdeen to Keith on the Aberdeen to Inverness line, then a taxi from there. It's only about 10 miles to Buckie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 No one come up with driving a car . Seriously hiring a car is cheap easyrent at Edinburgh airport about £12 a day. Get a transit for 50quid and pack the boys in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I've sorted our travel. We're getting the train to Elgin then the bus to Buckie. Straightforward enough (although two of us are coming from Dundee, so it's a very early train to Aberdeen first). Car is out because then someone wouldn't be able to have some beers.

Stellaboz Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Exactly. f**k going to watch us scrape a draw here sober. There must be a pub in Buckie or something, at the very least an off-license who do a nice, wee orange 2020? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
