The Trossachs Explorer
The Trossachs Explorer completed its summer service in October 2025, marking a second successful pilot.
The popular service, which ran from 7th July to 5th October, welcomed almost 6,000 passengers and provided a more sustainable travel option to help reduce congestion, ease parking pressures, and protect the National Park’s special environment by reducing car numbers, one of the largest sources of carbon emissions.
