In the last two weeks, Shearings group and David Urquhart Coach tours have both entered in CVAs or similar arrangements.
So both companies have pulled the plug on their businesses, stating that the Covid-19 epidemic was the major reason.
One area this will hit is the heritage lines; in high summer the two coach companies usually disgorge 10-15 coaches onto the Ffestiniog Railway!
That is a lot of punters...will other parties take on these roles in any form?
I realise spacing etc will a major issue, but at this stage I am just looking at the effect these two companies going bust.
Oh and in the case of Ffestiniog, they also get a number of coach excursions coming from cruise ships!
A new world, with new challenges?
