STAGECOACH SUPPORTS SOUTH AYRSHIRE COMMUNITIES FUN DAY WITH FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE

Stagecoach West Scotland, part of the UK’s leading bus operator, in partnership with South

Ayrshire Council, is proudly supporting the local community by providing a free shuttle

service at the hugely popular and award-winning South Ayrshire Communities Fun Day.

Set to be one of the biggest events this year, the event will take place from 11am to 4pm on

Saturday, 17 May at Ayr Academy and the nearby Riverside Sports Arena.

This free event is not to be missed. The fun zone features train rides, a climbing wall, a

funfair, and a zip line. There will also be a Nerf Battle Arena, along with military and

emergency services vehicles on display. Don't miss the iconic Stagecoach open-top bus and

the exciting new addition to Stagecoach, the Enviro 400EV double-decker.

Launching next month, this state-of-the-art vehicle will operate on service 11, running from Ardrossan to Kilmarnock. This highlights both the charm of classic transportation and the latest

advancements in technology, showcasing Stagecoach's dedication to investing in new

vehicles and promoting decarbonisation.

Attendees can catch the free shuttle bus every 30 minutes from Ayr Bus Station and Burns

Statue Square to the event, from 10.15am to 1.45pm and 3.15pm to 4.15pm.
