Veolia Transport Cymru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Veolia Transport Cymru is a division of the Veolia Transport group (formerly Connex), part of the French multinational Veolia Environnement. Since its formation, Veolia has acquired a number of smaller operators in Wales. Companies acquired by Veolia Transport Cymru include: Bebb Travel, Pullman Coaches, Longs, Hawkes, and Shamrock Travel (incorporating Thomas of Barry).[1]. The most recent acquisition is of Crossgates Motors of Crossgates, Llandrindod, which Veolia took over after Crossgates lost all their work to Veolia in a retendering exercise by Powys County Council.
Veolia Transport Cymru has its headquarters in Penclawdd.
