Campaigning to save the X34 and X36 buses from being axed is being intensified by councillors after the services were given a stay of execution.
The service, from Irvine and Ardrossan to Glasgow, had been due to finish next month, however the Scottish Government extended their Network Support Grant nationally which meant Stagecoach could extend the service until October 1.
Councillor John Bell told the full North Ayrshire Council meeting on Wednesday: “This gives us a stay of execution to keep campaigning. I have had many letters from constituents pointing out the difficulties this will place on their working and home lives. One said it was a pivotal form of transport and the only viable form of transport if you live in Beith. A day ticket on the Stagecoach bus is £6.30.
