News, debate and discussion on Wales' Bus Operations.

Quote:It is with regret we propose that Arriva Buses Wales’ Aberystwyth depot, New Quay, Lampeter and Dolgellau outstations will close on the 21 December 2013, subject to a consultation period with staff.

The period of instability regarding public transport funding and potential forthcoming changes to the Concessionary Fares Scheme, together with spiralling fuel costs has resulted in an unsustainable financial pressure on our Aberystwyth operations. A recent network review has led us to believe that current services in this area cannot, despite our best efforts, continue.

Services 20, 40, 40C, 50, 585 and X94 would be affected by the closure, with the proposed last day of operation being 21 December 2013. Due to contractual arrangements service 585 would continue to operate until 15 February 2014. We have notified the local authority of our intentions.

The proposed closure may unfortunately result in staff losses, and we are currently in consultation with the 46 staff who would be affected.

Padarn Bus will close tonight after 2 people were arrested in an investigation of alleged fraud... shame for such a large operator to go so quickly however no doubt there have been things going on in the background for months if not years...

84 jobs will go and numerous services will cease, including school contracts.
