magicbus

Magicbus is the brand Stagecoach applies to local "no-frills" bus operations in the UK, usually operated on routes with strong competition from other operators. The name was first used in Glasgow the late 1980s, where ex-London Transport Routemasters were used, but that operation was sold to Kelvin Central Buses in 1994. Today, most Magicbus vehicles are older double deckers cascaded from normal service work in Britain. A number of tri-axle double deckers reimported from Stagecoach's former operations in Kenya and Hong Kong are also used. The Magicbus brand is used for some Manchester city operations by Stagecoach Manchester, and also in Glasgow and Ayrshire by Stagecoach West Scotland. The Ayrshire Magicbus operation partially uses minibuses branded as "Magic Mini".
