AN extensive review of the current Stagecoach bus services in Ayrshire was carried out recently.
The service 10 from Kilmarnock to Troon is subject to time changes.
The X4 service will be replaced by the X16 and the X16 will have a route change and will now serve the University of the West of Scotland and Ayrshire College campuses in Ayr for the first time.
As a result, the route will no longer serve Prestwick. From Kilmarnock Bus Station, the X16 will no longer serve Glasgow Road to the A77 but will instead operate via South Dean Road and Kennedy Drive to Grassyards Road and then join the A77 at the Grassyards interchange.
The journey times will be changed.
The X16 will now offer a 30 minute frequency between Ayr and Kilmarnock and will continue to operate hourly between Ayr and Hamilton.
Due to a delay in the installation of infrastructure on the north bound side of Kennedy Drive in New Farm Loch, Kilmarnock the Service X16 on route to Hamilton will proceed from South Dean Road to Grassyards Road and serve Kennedy Drive south bound.
It will then continue on South Dean Road and Grassyards Road to the A77 and onward to East Kilbride and Hamilton.
This diversion will be in place from March 3 until the north bound infrastructure is installed on Kennedy Drive.
Stagecoach have said the main focus of the changes was to improve the punctuality and reliability of the services as well as better reflecting demand and customer travels.
