‘Scene’ in Scotland, ‘West Coast Motors’ (WCM) and ‘Stagecoach’ (S/C) on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk

 

‘WCM’ has become one of the largest independant operators on the West Coast of Scotland with over 200 buses and coaches being operated.

 

Oban is only one of many locations where their operations can be observed.

 

I was only there briefly so here is what I saw.

 

Other blogs looking at different elements of ‘WCM’ were published on 29th. June and 24th. July 2016.

 

 

 

Seen in the joint ‘WCM’/Scottish ‘citylink’ livery.

Considering that Scotland is the home of ‘Stagecoach’, there wasn’t a lot to be seen.

 

Based and seen in Fort William.

Look closely and you will see the fleet number alongside the word ‘Stagecoach’ on the cove panel. Something I have not seen before.
