Western Greyhound bus company ceases trading
A major bus operator in Cornwall has gone out of business. Drivers for Western Greyhound Ltd arrived for work this morning at the company depot in Summercourt to be told they were being made redundant.
Talks take place at Western Greyhound over the future of staff
Talks are taking place this lunchtime between trade unions and management over the future of Western Greyhound bus drivers who lost their jobs.
The Cornish bus company collapsed on Friday - and while some drivers have been taken on by new companies - others are still facing an uncertain future. A number of other bus companies have temporarily stepped in to cover the routes.
Philip Bialyk, the RMT South West Regional Organiser, says the staff members feel let down.
