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.

Some of the new timetables from 24 October are now available to view via Traveline. Lots of stops added to the M9 and M92 between Perth and Aberdeen; the M9 is also serving Cumbernauld all day

Does Anyone Know Why? I Understand BODS is being rolled out over scotland as a mandatory thing soon (provisional date 2028), is this just to be prepared?

I did a Tayinloan/Gigha day trip last weekend, and noticed this. We were completely full after the Kilbowie Roundabout, but about half the bus left at Arrochar, and after Inveraray we were down to single digit passengers. It would be good to do a short run just ahead of the longer distance bus to keep space for the Mid Argyll/Kintyre passengers.

Yeah, working now. Strange that it wasn't at 05:15. That's when I then went to bed!

The 900 timetable is now up on its website and they had reduced the service back to every 15mins, from the service changes in October
I think that was inevitable with the 903 being added to the corridor.

900 going back through the Airport through the night again as well as the AIR so it’s every 30 minutes through the night, the AIR timetable on the website is wrong through there's only one section from Edinburgh to Glasgow the rest only show Glasgow to Edinburgh
