Bus firm takeover saves dozens of jobs

THE “vast majority” of jobs at a bus company have been safeguarded by another firm that has stepped in to run services.

McGill’s Buses said it had taken over 13 contracts previously run by Henderson Travel, which employs about 150 people.

Hamilton-based Henderson Travel ran services across the west of Scotland, including school contracts, but it is understood the company ceased trading earlier this week.
