A new bus interchange facility has been opened at the railway station in Dyce.

The £426,000 development, designed and built by Aberdeen City Council, includes a dedicated bus access road, turning circle, connecting paths, bus waiting facilities, cycle racks and landscaping.

Other features include a new bus-only access road and turning circle to the west of the railway line on land owned by Aberdeen International Airport between Foinavon Close and the railway station.

In addition, the new facility will allow bus services to access the station with ease, providing a direct bus link from Dyce Railway Station to Aberdeen International Airport, the heliports and the industrial estates across Dyce.

Councillor Ross Grant said: "This is a great new facility which will be a help to commuters and people travelling and working around Dyce.

"Along with other major projects including the AWPR, the Berryden Corridor, Dyce Park and Ride and the Third Don Crossing, Aberdeen City Council is investing in improving transport around the city for its residents and visitors."

The interchange facility was funded by a regional transport partnership for Aberdeen City and Shire Nestrans.
