History
Stagecoach was born of deregulation in the British express coach market in the early 1980s, though its roots can be traced back to 1976 when Ann Gloag and her husband Robin set up a small motor caravan and minibus hire business called Gloagtrotter. Ann's accountant brother Brian Souter joined the firm and expanded the business into bus hire. Robin Gloag subsequently sold his shareholding in the business and ceased any involvement in 1982 with the collapse of his marriage to Ann. The Transport Act 1980, which freed express services of 35 miles and over from regulation by the Traffic Commissioner, brought new opportunities for the Perth-based company and services were launched from Dundee to London using second-hand Neoplan coaches. For a while, they offered a very personal service with Brian Souter doing the driving and Ann Gloag making up sandwiches and snacks for the passengers. Successfully competing against the then state-owned National Express and Scottish Citylink, the company grew significantly between 1981 and 1985, when Stagecoach entered local bus operation with the acquisition of McLennan Of Spittalfield, near Perth. Its early success allowed Stagecoach to take advantage of the privatisation of the national bus groups. Several firms were purchased from the National Bus Company, Scottish Bus Group, London Buses and various city councils. The company consolidated its operations during the 1990s by purchasing management and employee owned bus companies, often ex-NBC and SBG firms where the owners were keen to make a huge profit on their sale. Stagecoach left the long distance express coach market in 1988 when it sold its operations to National Express.

A Stagecoach West Scotland vehicle in the UK Bus corporate livery. However, controversy was never far from Stagecoach. The company often found itself on the wrong side of the Competition Commission and faced sharp media criticism over its predatory approach to smaller operators. Bitter "bus wars" broke out in towns and cities throughout Britain as Stagecoach took on the local competition, often forcing the competitor to abandon traditional markets and sometimes causing the collapse of smaller operators. This was through aggressive pricing and timing, often running more buses on a route than necessary and just a few minutes ahead of the competition. In its hometown of Perth, Stagecoach successfully forced the dominant operator Strathtay Scottish to abandon local services in the town. Similarly, Stagecoach subsidiary Bluebird Buses replaced Highland Scottish buses on most city services in and around Inverness. Similarly aggressive tactics were used to force Scottish Citylink into a joint venture. Now that Stagecoach has completed the effective takeover of Scottish Citylink the biggest shock of all was to be Stagecoach’s actions in the town of Darlington.

Darlington Borough Council put Darlington Transport up for sale in 1994. Despite submitting a bid through its Busways subsidiary, Stagecoach lost out to Yorkshire Traction (which was eventually takenover by Stagecoach and rebranded Stagecoach Yorkshire in 2005). In response, Stagecoach Busways registered identical routes to Darlington Transport, and subsequently commenced operations running free buses across Darlington Transport's network. Yorkshire Traction withdrew its bid for Darlington Transport and no other interested parties stepped forward. Within a week of Stagecoach arriving in the town, Darlington Transport went into receivership and ceased trading. This would lead to reform in the regulatory framework for bus operation in the UK. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by United Nations. ...

Scottish Citylink Coaches Ltd On 13 September 2005 Stagecoach and ComfortDelGro announced a joint venture in the provision of express coach services in Scotland, ending intense competition between ComfortDelGro's subsidiary Scottish Citylink and Stagecoach subsidiaries Megabus and Motorvator.

Megabus operations in the rest of the UK are excluded from this agreement. Despite being a minority shareholder, Stageocoach appears to have assumed all but full control. Stagecoach staff have replaced much of the former Citylink management, while Stagecoach subsidiaries have began operating many of the routes formerly operated by subcontractors, albeit with vehicles in full Scottish Citylink livery.

The Competition Commission ruled on 23 October 2006 that the joint venture substantially reduced competition and that evidence suggested some routes were already experiencing higher fares as a result[3]. Though no firm conclusion was drawn, regulators are to consult the two companies about what they need to do to comply with competition regulations and they have indicated that this will likely lead to the forced divestment of some services to an independent operator. The ruling was criticised by Stagecoach as leaving vital services in limbo and jeopardising Scotland's intercity coach network, making it unable to compete effectively with rail and private car journeys[4]. The Competition Commission is an independent body responsible for investigating mergers, market shares and conditions and the regulation of UK companies. ...
One possible result of this ruling may be the return of National Express Group-operated express coach services on routes internally within Scotland, a move that would now be allowed following their loss of the Scotrail franchise to First Group in 2004.
