I feel so sorry for Western Greyhound lets hope the perpetrators are caught and given harsh penalties.
Lets hope that they are indeed caught, the only good point about the latest attack was that the 3 vehicles ruined were only Beavers, it could have been a whole lot worse.
Western Greyhound has been put up for sale. It remains to be seen whether any routes receive rival registrations from First in the west or Plymouth Citybus in the east, making it harder to sell the company.

There are rumours that Go-Ahead are about to buy the Liskeard operations of Western Greyhound. I saw this on Railforums and halfway down this page. http://www.plymothiantransit.com/2014/12...t-top.html
Further news is that the remaining ops, at Summercourt and Wadebridge, has been sold to Michael Bishop, associated with Velvet Buses and Buses Excetera.
Unfortunately, it seems Western Greyhound his finally come to and end http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-31866340
They are also due to face the TC
From what I have seen, most services in south Cornwall are or will be covered by First. Services in Wadebridge will be taken up by Stagecoach, and 1 route (or maybe 2) by Go Cornwall Buses.

As Cornwall Busways have lost their licence too, it seems that Cornwall will now be run mostly if not entirely by the big boys now. http://www.route-one.net/legal/cornwall-...-300-fine/
