Western Buses Limited (T/A Stagecoach West Scotland) Alexander Dennis Enviro 400
Holiday bus….
Stagecoach have a small fleet of deckers in Ayr, mainly for the service to the Craig Tara Caravan Holiday Park at Heads of Ayr. At one point this used to be a Butlins holiday camp with its own Railway Station but that was culled in the 1960s and since then Western have provided a bus service linking the resort with Ayr itself.
The Butlins camp was rebranded in the 1980s as WonderWest Wonld in Ayr. It closed in 1998 as a Butlins holiday camp and transferred to its sister company Haven who re-opened it in 1999 as a static caravan park, re-purposing some of the original Butlins’ facilities. It’s since went from strength to strength, welcoming thousands of visitors each year to explore this beautiful part of Scotland.
Seen here is 19263 (MX08GOK). The Manchester registration reveals this to be an ex-Stagecoach Manchester bus originally but it’s been repainted in the new livery. I’m still not sure of this livery but this bus doesn’t look too bad in it.
