Have had word today that Veolia are planning to close their flagship depot in treforest which is where most of teh services in the vallies and cardiff operate from. Was told by management a few days ago that the penclawdd depot was being closed with the council having to put the services back out for tender including the gower explorer services.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12900079I know Veolia have lost all of their National express contracts to Edwards coaches who have also started running buses from Beddau to Cardiff & Pontypridd following requests by local people because of the problems with Veolia
I can think of a few operators who may be willing to step into take these services some of which are a goldmine particulary during the summer season . One such operator is likely to be South Wales Transport (Neath) although there was word about stagecoach expandng their south wales operations westward.
