Anyone know what the cheapest Campbeltown - Glasgow returns are ?

Not seen these £2 and £5 tickets for a long time.... Were these just a one off ?

Weren't the £2 tickets a special promotion? - you needed a code from certain newspapers (Daily Record was one if I recall correctly) - and I think that was only for one month (June?)
-however you do see the £5 single and £6 return on the citylink website if you look well in advance, got one of these for my mum last time she visited us.

The bus from Glasgow to Campbeltown is sold out tonight. I've never not been able to buy a ticket on the day in 20 years of using the bus, so very surprised and disappointed.

Just as well I don't have to be in Campbeltown tonight.

Oh wait. I do. Thanks Citylink.

EDIT:

I asked the question of both Citylink and West Coast Motors: "Is there no way I can get to Campbeltown now?" at around 2.30pm

Both sets of staff misinformed me that the next bus was at 7am, when in fact I could have got the 4.30pm bus to Lochgilphead and connected with the Campbeltown bus.

Finding out that a bus that never used to be sold out is sold out is disappointing. Being told wrong information twice when you call up two different offices is unforgivably bad customer service. I did note that the West Coast Motors staff member was considerably more polite and apologetic than the Citylink one.
