  Scottish Citylink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scottish Citylink Coaches Ltd is a long distance express coach operator in Scotland and the Republic of Ireland (where it operates simply as "Citylink".).
Scottish Citylink Coaches Ltd was formed in the reorganisation of the Scottish Bus Group in 1985 to co-ordinate and manage the long distance express services operated by the other SBG subsidiaries, particularly the Western Scottish and Eastern Scottish services from Glasgow and Edinburgh to London and the south.
Citylink service numbers, timetables and routes have also been sacrificed in favour of Megabus where the two brands overlap, in some cases to the detriment of Perth town centre, as most services now instead serve the out-of-town Broxden Park and Ride facility, which has little to no onward connection to the town centre.
