Breaking news Friday 13 March 2015

Western Greyhound ceased trading this morning and made all of its drivers redundant. No Western Greyhound services will be running.

First Bus are in urgent discussions with Cornwall Council Passenger Transport Unit and with the Traffic Commissioner about providing replacement services.

There will be some buses running from Tregony - first bus today at 10:05 to Truro. It will be free of charge because the service will not be registered with the Traffic Commissioner. Please ask the driver for details of return journeys.
