If you're going to St Andrews expect high prices on just about everything.
Don't sit outside to eat it though, the seagulls will have it.
Looks online to still be possible. Don’t know how the fare compares to buying a train ticket to Leuchars separate from the bus fare to St Andrews though.
Rail tickets seem to be priced at £4.60 more for a single through to 'St Andrews Bus' compared with just to Leuchars. (Return rail tickets look to be priced at £9.20 more). Think a paper ticket bought on the bus is the exact same £4.60 for a single.
Only multiple journey Day Tickets (£8.50) rather than two-journey out-and-back returns it appears.
Is it possible to buy a ticket that covers both operators? Must be frustrating having to wait for a 99 when a 92 is ready to departdon't forget the hourly Moffat and Williamson 92 route, they offer a £3.50 evening pass after 6pm too,

Doesn't a through railbus ticket with the destination of 'St Andrew Bus' not achieve that? Or is it operator specific?
The frequency of the 99 means that this isn't much of an issue.
There is, or maybe was, don't know if it's still there an excellent bakery that does a doughnut which will send your cholesterol through the roof and is pure heart attack fodder....that's if you manage to eat the whole doughnut, a miracle in itself if you do.
I did this during a FoS week in Nov 22. As otehr have said, buses are very frequent. Bus stop in Leuchars is obvious right outside station, Bus Station in St Andrews is a bit tucked away but the buses also run down the main road out of town with a couple of stops near the Golf hotels etc. Though St Andrews was well worth the trip, both the town, the beach and the Golf courses (which you seem to be able to walk around, within reason)
The bus station is to the Western edge of the centreI'd assumed the bus from the station would deposit us in the town centre. Is it going to be confusing?
Seems to recall Moffat and Williamson 92 goes via Ladybank , rather than Leuchars.don't forget the hourly Moffat and Williamson 92 route, they offer a £3.50 evening pass after 6pm too,

It's a very small town! From the bus station, it's about a 3 minute walk to North st, Market st and South st. Right turn out of the station, cross about 50m up the road.
Fisher & Donaldson still exist and you still get those lethal doughnuts. You now also get an ice cream filled version as well
Glad to hear that you enjoyed St Andrews. My wife was at university there - starting fifty years ago - and we were married there in the Burgh Hall just over seventeen years ago. With the fine weather, I'm surprised that you didn't go for an ice cream! The two ice cream parlours mentioned upthread also do tea and coffee. If your short taster tempts you to go back for a longer stay in the future, I would recommend going in the university holidays and staying in one of the student residences. Agnes Blackadder Hall - fifteen minutes walk from the centre - has clean, functional en-suite doubles for £85 per night....with a superb and abundant breakfast included. The other place that does good-value teas, coffees, snacks and sandwiches is the Students' Union café in North Street, which is open to all comers. Avoid most of the hotels - including the Premier Inn. They are ruinously-expensive, catering mainly for super-rich American golfers and their families.
