Scottish Citylink

I have noticed a lot of passengers on Highland Citylink services are day trippers to Luss and Hillwalkers between there and Inveraray. I wonder if there is scope for a short run to Arrochar.

Tyndrum short workings would fit in lovely there always said that especially at 8am from Glasgow that's why Ember are so busy in that trip as there is a large gap by Citylink

I'm sure driver availability is preventing a frequency upgrade, and I'm not sure WCM would allow another operator such as McLeans to do South Argyll runs from Glasgow (given it's WCM home territory + 2008 incident) but it's best to fill it in before Ember moves in,

What happened in 2008?

What happened in 2008?

WCM pulled out of Scottish Citylink contracts after I believe Stagecoach were awarded runs on the 926 and 976? Either that or they were awarded them last minute after WCM pulled out, since I think there was a dispute over the Inverness services as well. WCM ran it's own 926/76 commercially in response running 5 minutes ahead at reduced fares, and lost all other Citylink work. WCM regained the services barely after 2 months and it's why WCM use dual-branded vehicles on the Argyll services, also I believe why there are 5 journeys to Campbeltown instead of 3 a day.

It's a nice run to Campbeltown on the 926
