A bus full of angry passengers were left high and dry in Ardrossan when they were refused permission to board their ferry, despite the fact it was still in port.
Around 25 passengers arrived late at Ardrossan Harbour on a replacement bus service from Glasgow Central on Sunday. Although it was still nine minutes before the MV Caledonian Isles was due to depart, the gangway had been raised and Caledonian MacBrayne staff refused to lower it.
But this week CalMac blamed ScotRail for the mix up, saying the train operator should have told them the bus would be late. A replacement bus service has been operating on the route on a Sunday for several weeks. All the passengers had a wait of three hours for the next ferry.
