Campaigners who fought to save a bus route from the axe are preparing to herald the start of the new service.
The 101/102 Dumfries to Edinburgh route was due to be scrapped in August last year by Stagecoach West Scotland but was given a stay of execution until this month.
Campaign group, Stand Up For Our Buses, fought the decision before Lockerbie-based Houston’s Coaches was awarded the route in January which they will take over on Saturday, April 1.
