The couple had been taking their new car for a drive on the B792 road near Torphichen, West Lothian, when Jones’s vehicle collided with them on January 8 2019.
One of the passengers on the bus Jones was driving, 78-year-old Agnes Marshall, suffered serious injury and others were also hurt.
Last month, prosecution lawyer Ashley Edwards QC told appeal judges Lady Dorrian, Lord Pentland and Lord Turnbull that their colleague Lord Doherty hadn’t properly considered the circumstances of the collision.
Ms Edwards said that if Lord Doherty had carried out a proper examination of the facts of the case, he would have given Jones - who has previous convictions for motoring offences - a longer prison sentence.
