Stagecoach South West
The displaced Enviro 200s from Kilmarnock are now located at:
Dumfries: 36140/41/47/48/52
Stranraer: 36142/43/44/45. 36145 was temporarily allocated to Dumfries to release Optare Versa 25228 for repaint but has now been replaced by 36152.
Ardrossan: 36146/49/50/51
The Enviro 300 transfers have displaced several Optare Versas including 25201/02/19/21/35/36. 25227 is at Dumfries for MOT prep and 25228 is at Kilmarnock for repaint.
Dumfries & Galloway Council SWest Trans-liveried Optare Versa 25244 has been transferred to Dumfries depot (from Stranraer) and swapped with SWest Trans-liveried Optare Versa 25245 which is now at Stranraer. The latter is better suited at Stranraer depot and it is seat belted for use on that depot’s school contracts.
TransBus-bodied Enviro 300 27512 is currently on loan to Dumfries depot from Stranraer but is temporary and will be returning to Stranraer within the next few days.
