Adieu Shamrock

A fateful day in Dorset as Shamrock Buses ceased trading at short notice yesterday 6th July.  Several pieces of tendered work had been lost or were about to be lost (eg bus routes 32, 22, 111). These were the icing on the cake, three of the five public bus routes that fitted between and around some of the not inconsiderable amount of school runs that were being operated. Their loss left the main thrust of the Shamrock operation as peak time only, no doubt unviable with full time labour costs to bear. Whilst one could hope it is but 'au revoir' this time perhaps it is 'adieu'.   Shamrock, you will be missed.
