CalMac Winter 2026/27 timetable consultation.
As part of its planning process CalMac need to consult with Communities before publishing timetables, and we now have an opportunity to comment on the Winter 26/27 timetable.
A copy of the winter timetable for Gourock / Dunoon can be found here; https://dunooncommunitycouncil.co.uk/files
Note this is the timetable for winter 25/26 against which comments are required.
The guidance notes are
Guidance on Timetable Requests
Requests for changes will only be considered if they meet the following criteria:
This consultation process is therefore primarily intended for minor adjustments, such as small timing changes. Dunoon Community Council work with CalMac throughout the year to ensure connectivity, but any suggestions from our Community are welcomed. The deadline for comments (which should be e-mailed to transport@dunooncommunitycouncil.co.uk) to DCC is Monday 6th April.
Can we remind everyone that with 2 ferries and up to 4 trains per hour it is not possible to have connectivity on every ScotRail service – the timetable only shows connecting services and has to allow for those whose mobility may be impaired to transfer from train.
And this is not inviting comments about the overall level of service – we all know its not good enough, and so do CalMac. We will be in communication with the Community about that in the next few weeks.
