| "Ember Core Ltd" - operator of long distance electric buses in Scotland Posted by Mark A at 12:20, 9th August 2025 |     |
Ember, already connecting several destinations, have recently launched a four-times-a day service between Scrabster and Inverness (with the first of the day being at 03:47, which with a half hour change at Inverness, feeds into the 07:55 LNER service to Kings Cross).
A recent account of this service from Bluesky, positive about the on-board experience, and indicates that their service arrived into Inverness with the battery cheerfully ¾ full. (On the less positive side, off the boat from Stromness, which arrived late 'cos weather conditions, if I have it right, they had a hasty five minute walk from the ferry to the ferry terminal to pick up the bus - the boat having long ago moved from its previous pier at the ferry terminal and while I think buses called at the new location for some time, they seem to have moved back to the terminal building - but clarification is needed on that.)

Ah, Stagecoach serves the ferry too and *do* go to and from the boat, the boarding point being 'Beyond the gates' - the road as far as the ferry terminal is public, so, it's suggested that it's an issue concerning fees and charges. It will not be the only place where friction, for foot passengers, is built into transport interchanges.
