Still Game's Isa actress Jane McCarry celebrates revamped Stagecoach bus

She plays one of the most famous comedy characters on Scottish TV.

And the actress behind Craiglang’s nosiest resident was in recently Ayrshire to catch up on the gossip here.

Jane McCarry, Still Game’s Isa, joined competition winners to celebrate the first birthday of the revamped Stagecoach West Scotland’s service 11.

The bus service travels between Kilmarnock and Ardrossan via Irvine.

Eleven lucky Stagecoach customers and their guests joined the popular actress for the special trip on the number 11, finishing with an afternoon tea at Si! in Irvine.

The winners were selected after submitting their stories about their life onboard the 11.

Winning stories included a mum who was in labour on board, a carer who uses the bus for work, a volunteer DJ who uses the bus to get to his radio presenting job and a dad whose baby loves to peer out the window when he takes her on board.

Jane said: “It was great to read about the adventures folk have had on the number 11 and to meet the winners in person and get a chance to chat over a fancy tea.”

Jacqueline Rowan from Stagecoach West Scotland said: “We wanted to get our customers involved with the celebrations this year. Service 11 is one of our most popular routes so we knew there would be a story or two.

“We had over 200 entries to the completion so narrowing it down to the final 11 was a challenge.”

The special event celebrated a year since new buses were put on the route.
