Dial-A-Journey

This is a door-to-door transport service for people with mobility problems who are permanently resident in Clackmannanshire, Stirling or Falkirk Council areas who are unable to use ordinary buses. There is no charge to join the Dial-a-Journey Scheme.

Dial-A-Journey can be used for almost any purpose:

• Shopping;
• Visiting friends;
• Going to the theatre.

However Dial-A-Journey cannot be used to attend hospital appointments.

The fare you pay depends on the distance travelled and the number of people travelling. There is no limit to the number of journeys you can make. If you need someone to assist you, they pay the same fare as you. Journeys must be booked in advance. As demand for the service is high, it is advisable to give as much notice as possible.

For an application form, please visit the Dial-A-Journey website

Thistle Card

If you have a disability, you often need a little more time to get on and off public transport and to have a safe and comfortable journey to your destination. The aim of the Thistle Assistance Card is to help anyone who has difficulty in using public transport because of their age, disability or illness and who perhaps can't communicate
their requirements easily.

The card, which is supported by a wide variety of voluntary organisations in South East Scotland and by most bus operators, is credit-card sized and comes with a supply of peel-off stickers, which advise the driver of your disability and the help you need in an easy-to-read format.

For further information or a Thistle Card please contact Tel: 01259 450000 or ask for a card at Kilncraigs reception or at the Whins Resource Day Centre.
