Electric coach firm Ember has announced a new city route and an increase in the number of inter-city services it operates.

Ember is to launch a new "short bus useful" service from Dundee city centre to the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc on the east side of Dundee. 

The E10 service, which begins on January 11, will run over 40 services per day in each direction, with three stops along the way.

Ember confirmed it is also increasing the frequency of its Dundee to Glasgow and Edinburgh services to 21 services per day (in each direction) on each route - offering an average of an hourly frequency throughout the day.

The increase in inter-city services will also take effect from January 11.

Ember's overnight services between Dundee and Edinburgh will now call directly at Edinburgh Airport.

Kinross is also becoming a pre-booked stop, meaning that buses will only call in there if someone has booked at least 10 minutes ahead, Ember said.
