Yet another Welsh operator will cease trading from Friday this taken from BBC Wales website
Quote:A bus service running from Aberystwyth to Carmarthen and on to Cardiff is to end after the company running it went into administration.
Ceredigion-based Lewis Coaches, which has 30 vehicles, is to stop its services on Friday.
The Confederation of Passenger Transport Cymru said 40 jobs were at risk.
It is the third bus company in Wales to collapse in the last two months.
More than 300 staff lost their jobs after Wrexham-based GHA Coaches went into administration in July, causing disruption on its routes across north Wales, Cheshire and Shropshire.
In June, Pembrokeshire firm Silcox Coaches, which provided school transport, local bus services and tours, ceased trading after 134 years.
'Great sadness'
Ceredigion council confirmed on Wednesday that Lewis Coaches, which is based in Llanrhystud, had also been put into administration.
It said the 701 commercial bus service from Aberystwyth to Carmarthen and Cardiff would end.
Which one will be next I wonder

On a tenuously related note, the only former NBC company to collapse has been National Welsh, in 1992. I'm pretty sure GHA Coaches has been the largest bus company collapse in Britain since then.

Any news on a replacement operator for the affected services?
