Strathtay's busy Tayway outes from Dundee, east of lonifieth and Camoustie. Last month, Stagecoach rought in Leyland Nationals om other group companies to ompete on one of Strathtay's lost lucrative city services, nder the new fleetname Perth 'anther. A second competing ervice was launched this month, and Stagecoach has registered a minibus service in Perth and an inter-urban service to Crieff and Comrie.
