Stagecoach South Scotland is teaming up with Now Ayrshire Radio to bring festive cheer to communities across Ayrshire with a special Christmas bus tour on Friday 19 December, running from midday to 4pm.

The festive bus will visit Kilmarnock, Ardrossan, Saltcoats, Stevenston, Irvine, Troon, Prestwick and Ayr, giving local residents the chance to meet the Stagecoach team, enjoy Christmas music and pick up some festive treats.

The event will feature a live DJ playing Christmas favourites, a special performance from Amanda Jean, and the distribution of festive goodies for customers and passers-by.

Colleagues will also be on hand to answer questions and remind customers to check Stagecoach’s Christmas and New Year timetables, which operate between 24 December and 3 January 2026.

Fraser Smith, Commercial Director for Stagecoach South Scotland, said:

“We’re really looking forward to meeting customers across the county on Friday afternoon it reinforces the point that we operate right at the heart of everyday life in Ayrshire.

“It is also a wee thank you gesture to show our appreciation to our customers and to give something back at Christmas.”

The initiative is part of Stagecoach’s ongoing commitment to engaging with the communities it serves while helping customers plan their journeys during the festive period.

Residents are encouraged to watch out for the Christmas bus on social media and pop along to say hello if it’s visiting their town.
