I believe it ran again for a while with passengers, couldnt compete with the car or bus apparently so closed again pretty quickly.

Great book on the subject: Nigel S.C. Macmillan The Campbeltown & Machrihanish Light Railway, David & Charles: Newton Abbot, you will probably be able to get a copy in The Old Bookshelf

A & P McConnachie's buses were the final nail in the coffin for the railway.

The railway company attempted to run their business with two second hand buses for a period of 5/6 months.
