I vaguely remember a company called Crosville (not 'the' Crosville) competing with First in Weston-super-Mare. I'm not sure why they ceased operating or whether they fell into the cowboy category.

https://www.cardiffbus.com/80-years-route-30 Its certainly the oldest surviving joint municipal route in GB, almost all municipal operators having being privatised. But what about other joint routes, here or abroad?

Then there was the operator which decided to compete with Newport Transport on their services to Bettws, one of largest housing estates in the city. IIRC their vehicles were reposessed while in service with passengers on. Many off the Traffic Commissioners' decisions are published online...

All AI generated content is probably of a similar quality. Just remember this whenever you're presented with it. I used to say the same when mistakes in human-written articles were pointed out but it's on a whole new scale now.

Stagecoach South Wales 172 Aberdare-Bridgend is extended to Porthcawl on Sundays.

It was a combined depot and bus station under one roof but since your visit the maintenance work has been relocated to other depots and the site redeveloped with only the passenger area under cover.

How come nobody's come forward to build and operate a private, tourist-oriented railway?

Possibly, but you're not likely to do as many miles as you would on interurban or rural routes.

How about Chester-Corwen-Dollgellau-Aberystwyth-Carmarthen-Swansea-Brecon-Cardiff (about 250 miles) on a £13 TrawsCymru day ticket?

Or you went to University (not you-knee) and your favourite radio presenters are retired or have died.
