Stagecoach Announces Service Changes Across Ayrshire

Stagecoach West Scotland has announced timetable changes across Ayrshire and Glasgow from Sunday 16th November 2025, aimed at improving punctuality and reliability across its network.

For most services, only minor adjustments have been made, however, several routes will see more notable changes.

The seasonal Service 97 between Ayr and Craig Tara Holiday Park will end for the winter, with the last day of operation on Monday 1st December before returning in March 2026.

Service 12 between Ardrossan and Stevenston will now run every 70 minutes on Sundays.

On the Irvine to Beith corridor, Service 25 has been revised and will now leave Beith at 55 minutes past the hour instead of five minutes past. The route to Irvine will travel via Chestnut Avenue, Hawthorn Avenue, Mains Road and Reform Street before continuing through The Strand into Irvine. Meadowside will no longer be served, and the following stops will be withdrawn: Eglinton Street, Strand, Reform Street, Mains Street, and both Meadowside stops.

The X36 from Ardrossan to Glasgow will see the weekday 7:30am service from Buchanan Bus Station depart five minutes earlier at 7:25am, with other minor adjustments to improve timekeeping.

Service X77 between Ayr and Glasgow will also see a revised timetable and the introduction of a new X77K service, providing extra journeys via Kilmarnock. Sunday frequency will increase to every 30 minutes.

Evening journeys on Service 52 from Ayr to Bellsbank and several coastal services, including the 58, 358, 60 and 360 between Ayr, Girvan and Stranraer, will run a few minutes earlier or later than before.

The 347 between Ayr and Rankinston will now follow the same route through Drongan as the 42 and 42A, with customers required to use stops on the opposite side of the road.

Service 7 from Burns Statue Square to Castlehill Mount will be withdrawn and replaced by the new hourly 3B route operating Monday to Saturday between Kincaidston, Whitletts and Dalmilling. The 3B will no longer serve Belmont Road or Dalmellington Road between Castlehill Roundabout and Burnbank Road.

Service 6 will now call at Ayr Morrisons between 9:05am and 2:45pm, Monday to Saturday, before continuing to the Lorne Arcade.

Other routes including Services 1 and 9 between Burns Statue Square, Masonhill and Doonfoot, the 14 Ayr–Troon–Irvine, the 10 Kilmarnock–Dundonald–Troon and the 1 between Kilmarnock and Priestland will also be adjusted slightly.

Service 11 between Ardrossan and Kilmarnock will start earlier on Sundays, departing Ardrossan Chapelhill Mount at 6:35am and Kilmarnock Bus Station at 6:20am.

The 28A Irvine local service will no longer serve Irvine Tesco on Sundays and will instead terminate at Dickson Drive.

In Kilmarnock, the X76, X71, X78 and X79 will be slightly retimed, while the new X77K will also boost links between Glasgow and Kilmarnock, operating every 30 minutes on Sundays.

Service 30A will now include Littlestane Road on its route to Greenwood Academy.
