im alone betty

Ive been visiting Scotland for many years and seen lots of changes with the bus scene. This is Strathy on the A836 road heading West from Thurso, a part of Scotland less well travelled by most and away from the crowds ( good enough reason to go ). The further West you head the more remote it becomes and is well worth a visit over a few days. At the time of this picture Rapsons had just become part of Stagecoach, the vehicle is P937SSK a Optare Excel new to EYMS operating the very long ( and infrequent ) service 73 to Bettyhill & Tongue. Afaik the vehicle ended its days with Stagecoach at Chesterfield where the breed seemed to accumulate ( and die ) from allover stagecoach empire. The scene is typical far North West Scotland, in the distance are the Orkneys.
