Shuttle Buses by David Granger
Shuttle Buses, based in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, celebrates thirty years in business in 2020. During that time it has grown from running two Ford Transit minibuses to a modern fleet of fifty-five buses and coaches operating throughout south-west Scotland. Over 150 vehicles have been operated over three decades and twenty manufacturers have been represented in the fleet. Traditional suppliers like ADL, Leyland, Mercedes, Optare, Scania and Volvo are joined by less common buses from Bedford, CarInd, Fiat, KingLong and Talbot, in what must be one of the most diverse fleets operated in the UK in recent times. Almost every vehicle ever owned is pictured in this collection, at work and in less frequently photographed situations. Written by the co-founder and managing director, the informative captions give an operator’s perspective of each type, detailing mistakes that have been made over the years and the company’s many success stories.
David Granger graduated from Loughborough University in 1984 and joined the Scottish Bus Group as a Graduate Trainee, first at Western SMT and then with Clydeside Scottish. After a spell back at Western as Marketing Manager he was a co-founder of Shuttler Buses in 1990 and has spent the past 30 years as Managing Director, building the business from two buses to a GBP3m turnover.
