Unite the Union has confirmed plans to take industrial action on Monday 26th May, Monday 2nd June and Friday 6th June 2025. As a result, there will be disruptions to our bus services on these days.

Stagecoach issued the following advice:
Industrial action will take place over driver pay for our employees based at depots in Ayr, Ardrossan, Arran, and Kilmarnock.
Regrettably, the industrial action will disrupt our services and inconvenience our customers. As we play a crucial role in helping people stay connected with their communities, we plan to operate a limited service with the drivers available to us.
We’re working hard to minimise the impact of this disruption, but unfortunately, the limited services we’re running will affect customers travelling in and around Ayrshire.
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Please see further information below:
