A recent edit claims that as of 2005 Stagecoach Bluebird is no longer part of Stagecoach East Scotland. If this is the case, the text about Stagecoach Bluebird should be removed from this article and a separate article created. —Deskford (talk) 21:55, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The process toward a split is to create a section within this article on the sub-topic, and when that sub-topic has enough reliable material, to split it out per WP:Summary style. SilkTork *^YES! 12:17, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging this article and Stagecoach West Scotland into a new article named Stagecoach South Scotland. It has just freshly come out that the management of the East and West Scotland companies is to be merged under the new South Scotland identity,[1], so I want to see whether there is appetite for such a move before someone out of the blue tries to rename the articles without consensus.

Looking at both articles, the ‘Operations’ and ‘Fleet’ sections of East and West Scotland could be brought over and simplified for the new company, however it is both articles’ ‘History’ sections that may cast some doubt: East Scotland has origins in the original Stagecoach company of 1981, while West Scotland’s longer, more unsourced section needs a good looking at.

Then, of course, there’s the issue of the operating area being a large chunk of Scotland as opposed to, say, the operating area of Stagecoach South. We don’t have an article for Stagecoach North Scotland, as the separate Aberdeenshire and Isle of Skye and Orkney Islands now operations operate under, so is there maybe a similar principle to follow here?

Keen to hear what other users’ take on the issue is. The more I think of the pros and cons, the more it seems like an increasingly complicated matter. Hullian111 (talk) 19:07, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hullian111, is this something you’re still interested in? Since no one has expressed an opinion one way or the other, it’s pretty much up to you. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 16:39, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think I’m going to stick this one out awaiting further consensus. I’m still not very sure whether merging the two would be a good idea, since the merger concerns two operators with large operating areas and with very distinct and extensive company histories (i.e. Western Scottish/A1 Service (West Scotland) and Fife Scottish/Stagecoach of Perth (East Scotland)). How would merging those operator histories work for one South Scotland article?

So far, the only place I’ve seen the Stagecoach South Scotland name used since November, beyond Stagecoach’s news releases, has been Buses magazine, which in the most recent issue has begun listing vehicle news under a South Scotland header. At this still early stage, is it even worth carrying out the merger?
