A TROSSACHS councillor has said fixing the current C60 bus route is a key priority in addressing the issue of a continued service that will provide a transport link between Killin and Callander.
A series of public meetings has been conducted by Stirling Council since Kingshouse Travel announced it was to cut the service.
Councillor Evelyn Tweed said: ‘Local residents have made their views known and it is clear that by far the most favoured option is to replace the existing C60 service by fixing the issues that have led to its planned termination. However, there are a number of obstacles standing between where we are now and reaching that goal. ‘I understand the primary reason for the discontinuation of the service to be that there are now no local bus drivers available to run it. I am aware of a number of local residents who are willing to train as passenger carrying vehicle drivers and I therefore gather that officers are in discussions with Kinghouse Travel about possibly delaying the termination of the service.
