    495 is at Stranraer, 503 is in the siding at Girvan.

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    A few more service changes have been registered today. The service 2A is interesting, new route to Citadel.

    Hope it's not more cuts, too much has been cut already.

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    there's a lot so I'd guess it's either holiday arrangements or another shake up.

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    That's likely the case but I hope there's changes coming, which is possible as many more registrations have appeared during both March 30th and 31st. Then again it could be that coronation thing, but I'll list it anyway. March 30...

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    Yes; the 358, 20:30 to Stranraer from Girvan was removed, however the Ayr to Girvan portion of the specific journey (58 departing Ayr at 19:20) was removed by Stagecoach themselves. There is also no Scotrail service from Ayr to Girvan between ~18:30 and ~20:30 so there is no alternative form of...

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    Hopefully they aren't removing another service; the last one they removed made it impossible to travel between Ayr and Girvan after 18:20 until 20:20.

    Most likely locals, though wouldn't be surprising if they stray onto short out of town routes

    More electric buses entering service in March: https://www.stagecoachbus.com/news/west-scotland/2023/february/stagecoach_all_electric_ayrshire I hear ayr depot is getting the 2 new Enviro200EVs and Kilmarnock's 71-plate batch.

    I remember it being mentioned on here but i believe it was rumours and speculation rather than actual conformation.

    Ayrshire coastline rolling stock discussion

    https://www.transport.gov.scot/media/51571/updated-zero-emission-energy-for-transport-forecasts-national-demand-forecasts-for-electricity-and-hydrogen.pdf I found a publication posted back in May 2022 suggesting that (page 125) In the 2020 decarbonisation plan, Ayr-Girvan was to be...

    I'm guessing Glasgow/Kilmarnock - Girvan/Stranraer will have 158's for a while once the 156's go. Electric services will probably stay 380's only for many years to come.

    I can't explain the first points but i do know the engines are now Cummins Euro 6. Only 3 buses remain with West Scotland.

    (Light-Hearted) Worst-Targetted Ads on This Forum & Elsewhere

    I see 2 ads at the bottom of your post, one about amazon rainforest and one about "directrelief". Additionally a lot of icons are showing as crossed rectangles, is the website broken? edit: and the site keeps asking me to accept or reject cookies, which is very annoying

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    That's probably the intention of the new timetable

    Stagecoach West Scotland

    My local route (58/60) was affected quite badly for months but the service here is finally stable again, although after the new timetable the 1920 from Ayr will be removed creating a 2 hr gap from 1820-2020.

    When I use the x16 (admittedly only throughout Ayr) I usually find it busy, I'm still surprised they're axing it.

    https://www.vehicle-operator-licensing.service.gov.uk/search/find-registered-local-bus-services/details/595464/ The website says the part that's cancelled is the section from Kilmarnock to Hamilton (which hasn't ran since pandemic I think) Hopefully this means the ayr to kilmarnock part is okay

    Scotrail fleet procurement competition - Class 156, 318 & 320 replacements

    There's a recent report from Transport Scotland about electricity and hydrogen demand forecasts, it also sets out "rail scenarios" and timelines for electrification and withdrawal/cascading of diesel trains. The plan is to transfer 158's to SW scotland by 2027...
