R&S Waterson Ltd (trading as Watersons Coaches), owned by Scott Wooley who also owns Globe Holidays Ltd, has ceased trading today.
Watersons operated service 36 (Barnsley - South Elmsall) and 249 (Pontefract - South Elmsall) both of which will not operate after today (though no such cancellations have been lodged with VOSA).
Replacement services - operated by Globe ?- start tomorrow. The 36 is replaced by a re-routing and re-timetabling of existing Globe service 39 (Barnsley - South Elmsall - Pontefract), whilst a like for like replacement for the 249 is also provided by Globe albeit with a slightly revised timetable.
One wonders if the Traffic Commissioner will look in to this? One operator ceases with no notice period with another operator under the same common ownership stepping straight in to replace...?
