Some jobs at Western Greyhound could be saved

158 staff and 14 bus routes are affected by the announcement Western Greyhound has ceased trading.

ITV understands the management teams of Western Greyhound are in discussions with other bus operators to see if any jobs can be saved.

The company website has been suspended and bus drivers remain at the Summercourt bus depot in Cornwall to try and find out more about their future.

Cornwall Council is aware of the sudden closure of Western Greyhound bus company and is working hard with the industry in attempting to secure alternative services as quickly as possible.

We will keep the public up to date through our website www.cornwall.gov.uk/buses, and the press and media, but it is unfortunately inevitable that there will be disruption over the next few days.

One school contract is affected and alternative provision has been put in place.
