Many Welsh bus companies have disappeared from the scene in the turbulent decade since the Welsh Government announced a large cut in bus funding, as RHODRI CLARK reports

It subsequently froze the funding at the reduced level although inflation affected costs, which meant that operators had to deal with a real-terms cut in funding each year.
