All very good! Bus driver very pleasant but took longer than should have going to Craig Tara.

There was no indication of which bus was the correct one to go to Ayr and another Citylink driver advised everyone that his bus was the 923. Whilst on the bus it came to my attention that I was in fact on the Glasgow day trip bus which did not stop at Ayr which meant I had to jump off the bus at a roundabout and walk into Ayr
