Man moves mountain for a bus

We read with weary incredulity that the humpy hill road in Catacol is to be dug up and smoothed out so that long-bodied buses will be able to use it without ‘bottoming’ over the peaks of the switchback. Do we really accept the principle that Arran can be reshaped to accommodate the proposed bus, rather than suiting the vehicle to the terrain? Truly, this is a mammoth no-brainer.

A link to the revised and grossly inconvenient timetables follow.
