Beleaguered bus passengers across Stirling are hoping for a fresh start after a new bus operator was announced for the region.
First Bus has sold its First Scotland East business and all of its routes in the area to the McGill’s Group, with the sale expected to be completed on September 19.
The move will see all depots in the wider eastern region – including those in Bannockburn, Balfron and Larbert – as well as all buses and 550 staff move to McGill’s.
