Stagecoach are inviting local authorities, community groups and customers from across Ayrshire to give feedback on new bus timetable proposals.

The changes are planned to begin on Sunday, August 13, after the company noted a significant change in demand for bus services.

Ayr Town Hall will host a feedback event on Friday at 1pm, while Henrietta Street Hall in Girvan will be the venue on Tuesday, June 13, at 11am.

Stagecoach will also be at the Carrick Centre in Maybole on the Tuesday at 2.30pm.

The proposed changes will affect services one, eight and nine in South Ayr, with some of the services merged to combat low demand.

An additional service 14 bus has been introduced due to traffic congestion in Prestwick at a cost of £120,000 per year.

While the service will become more frequent, the service will no longer serve Monkton or Irvine.

There will also be considerable changes to Stagecoach services 2 and 3, services 42, 43 and 43A and the X77 service.

Managing director of Stagecoach West Scotland, Tom Bridge, said: "We have seen some big changes in our customers' travel patterns in the last two years because of things like internet shopping, working from home and traffic congestion in our towns and cities.

"We have to adapt to these changes and that is why we are consulting on these proposals.

"We want our customers and other local stakeholders to help us shape a network of services in South & East Ayrshire that best serves the current and future needs of local workers, students, job seekers, retired people and visitors."
