Public transport in Ayrshire was today plunged into chaos — as bus firm Stagecoach West Scotland announced more than 100 cancellations to journeys throughout the region.
The firm issued a statement earlier today announcing that scores of journeys in North, East and South Ayrshire would be shelved due to “staff shortages.”
And to make matters worse, the crisis has unfolded at the very start of Scottish Bus Week, a national campaign which runs until Sunday and is aimed at "celebrating the bus" and the role it can play as a "solution" to the biggest challenges we face.
