Shetland Central, Shetland Islands: Transport
Transport
Shetland Central is remote by UK standards — there are no trains and bus services are limited. What keeps the islands connected is the nearby airport and ferry terminals, which link you to the mainland.
You'll need a car to get around here. There's a fuel station in the neighbourhood and roads are easy to navigate, which makes daily life straightforward. A cycleway runs through the area, though walking infrastructure is thin on the ground.
The nearest bus station and ferry terminals are just outside the neighbourhood. Ferries are how goods move and how you'd travel to Aberdeen or further afield. The nearby airport is a real advantage — flights get you to the mainland faster than other options.
You can rent a car locally. There are no subway or rail links, which is standard for Shetland rather than something specific to this neighbourhood.
