RE: Arriva Buses Wales - Aberystwyth Depot
I thought this was to important not to be noted :

The bus company Arriva has announced 46 jobs are under threat as it plans to cut services and close four sites.

A depot in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, and outstations in New Quay and Lampeter in Ceredigion and Dolgellau, Gwynedd, could shut on 21 December following a consultation with staff.

That would mean the cancellation of buses 20, 40, 40C, 50, 585 and X94 from the same date.

Arriva Buses Wales blamed public transport funding and fuel costs.

"A recent network review has led us to believe that current services in this area cannot, despite our best efforts, continue," the company said in a statement.

"Due to contractual arrangements service 585 would continue to operate until 15 February 2014. We have notified the local authority of our intentions.

"The proposed closure may unfortunately result in staff losses, and we are currently in consultation with the 46 staff who would be affected."

Drivers were informed on Tuesday morning.
