I've had sight of a rather grim letter to FSW staff from the management. Helston outstation is planned to close to fund an improved pay offer (the previous one was rejected).
The letter paints a completely dire picture of the financial position for FSW, although mentions that Somerset is a stronger performer, while Cornwall is heavily loss-making and First Bus is not prepared to prop up loss-making parts of the business. Further cuts and closures will be required if the improved pay offer is rejected.
Sounds to me like it's back to 2010/11 when First was considering pulling out of Cornwall.
