Scottish Bus Group's operations in Oban had previously been operated by Highland Scottish, but were transferred to Midland Scottish in the run-up to privatisation in 1991. Midland was taken over by GRT Group, who decided that the operation was too remote from Midland's other depots to be financially viable.
Prior to privatization in 1991, Scottish Bus Group's operations in Oban were handled by Highland Scottish. However, these services were transferred to Midland Scottish before the company went private. GRT Group then acquired Midland and decided that the Oban operation was not financially viable due to its remote location from their other depots.
