Seems to have had a lot of bad luck when it comes to the vehicles bought for the service. Though it does make me wonder why you'd plan to launch a service then buy the buses to run it relatively last minute.

They seem like a complete shambles of a firm. Don’t know if they are coming or going. Launch a service then change the timetable only to stop running it before the change of timetable takes place. Very amateur.

He wont be allowed to operate any more routes any time soon. I have to agree its been a shambles. That facebook video, Big guys won? EH? Whitebus didn't even turn up most of the time, people cant wait over an hour for bus that not operating, they had no choice but to use 254 by First. What about this staff? he must have employed people and they all lost there jobs?

The owner has posted a video on his and the company's Facebook pages going through what happened, and explains the faults that each vehicle has. All of the buses appeared to have been acquired via the same dealer.

All from Drew Wilson Coach Sales in Carluke, seen a comment saying one bus was sold as a non runner and just patched up to get it running.

To be fair they did buy two more buses from another source afterwards but the damage was already done and those buses have had problems too.
