Inter-city coach services are to challenge the train across Scotland from tomorrow (28 November 2005) as passengers benefit from more frequent services, faster journey times and excellent value fares.

The improved services follow the creation in September of a joint venture by transport groups Stagecoach and ComfortDelGro to operate the Scottish services of megabus.com, Motorvator, and Scottish Citylink.

The company hopes the new and more competitive coach services will also help to cut congestion by attracting Scots motorists out of their cars.
