Last week Premier Bingo, who had halls in Alloa and Cowdenbeath, ceased trading. I was reminded that, for a time in the early 1990s, the Bingo ran a free service from cardenden and lochgelly, to the hall. It was operated by Kelty coaches, but it ended mid 1990s. My mum used to use it.
A post I put on a Facebook group about it, brought a response that in the 2010s Bay travel of Lochgelly ran a Bingo bus from Perth, to Premier bingo Cowdenbeath, but the contract later passed to Star Travel of Cowdenbeath. Whether the bus operated post covid is unclear, but Star travel closed down in January 2023, after the owner retired.
Moffat and williamson used to have a contract for one, from Anstruther, to the Mecca in Dundee, but it ended early 2000s. Halls of Kennoway ran two from Levenmouth to glenrothes, one to buzz bingo, the other to club 3000. They also ran one to club 3000 in kirkcaldy. Halls have ceased trading years ago, and indeed only the one to kirkcaldy runs, operated by bay travel. Btw buzz bingo glenrothes is now b&m.
So, what bingo buses used to run, or do run, where you live, and who operates or operated them?
