Travelling during COVID-19

Helping you to plan ahead and stay travel safe

It's more important than ever to stay up to date with travel advice. From Tuesday 5 January, mainland Scotland moved from Level 4 to a temporary Lockdown, with new guidance to stay at home except for essential purposes. Some islands remain at Level 3. Visit gov.scot for more details. 

You can find out what level applies to any area of Scotland via the postcode checker on the Scottish Government website. You can help keep Scotland moving by: 

Reducing the need to travel:  Work from home if you can and stay local for shopping and services.

Planning ahead: If you need to make an essential journey, check your travel options in advance. 

Choosing active travel: Walk, wheel or cycle where possible.

Staying travel safe: Help ensure we have a safe public transport system, available to those most in need.
