Synopsis

Shuttle Buses, based in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, celebrates thirty years in business in 2020. During that time, it has grown from running two Ford Transit minibus to a modern fleet of fifty-five buses and coaches operating throughout south-west Scotland. Over 150 vehicles have been operated over three decades and twenty manufacturers have been represented in the fleet. Traditional suppliers like ADL, Leyland, Mercedes, Optare, Scania and Volvo are joined by less common buses from Bedford, CarInd, Fiat, Talbot, KingLong and Talbot in what must be one of the most diverse fleets operated in the UK in recent times. Almost every vehicle ever owned is pictured in this collection, at work and in less frequently photographed situations. Written by the co-founder and managing director, the informative captions give an operator's perspective of each type; mistakes that have been made over the years; and the company's success stories.
