Souter’s firm bids for ferry route

“Brian Souter, the co-founder of the Stagecoach bus empire, is trying to take over the Caledonian Macbrayne ferry route between Gourock and Dunoon.” writes The Herald.

What caught my eye was the accompanying picture

Is that the only picture they could find of Brian Souter? Did they want him to look at least a decade younger than he is? Are they predicting the same future for the Caledonian Macbrayne ferry as Swebus? Stagecoach bought Swebus and then sold it at a loss in 1999. I guess the picture dates from time Stagecoach purchased Swebus which makes it around 14 years old!

    Last time I saw Brian Souter (just over a year ago) he did actually look very much like your photo…apart from hair-loss (you and me both bro) he hasn’t changed much… (unlike you and me both bro…)
