Sumburgh - Shetland (LSI):
By Bus:
A
regular bus service runs to and from Lerwick. However, if flights are delayed it does not wait. The last flight to land on a
Sunday arrives at 1730, and the last bus to Lerwick departs at 1745. As often happens, my flight was late, and the bus pulled away just as I exited the
terminal. The only practical option then is to take a taxi, or cheaper if going to Lerwick, to hire a car.
Route:
Airport - Gruntness Pier - Sumburgh Hotel - Scatness (5 mins) -
Hestingott - Exnaboe - Quendale - Robins Brae - Levenwick (15 mins) - Sandwick -
Cunningsburgh (30 mins) - Fladdabister - Quarff - Gulberwick (40 mins) -
Shetland Hotel - Viking Bus Station Lerwick (50-60 mins).
Timings:
Buses leave the airport Mon-Fri at 0740, 1055, 1235, 1345, 1650 & 1945.
Saturdays: 1055, 1345, 1500 & 1710. Sundays: 1055, 1515, 1645 & 1745.
Buses leave the Viking Bus Terminal in Lerwick Mon-Fri at 0600, 0900,

low prices. It is usually cheaper to hire a car than take the taxi to Lerwick
and back.
