Dorset bus operator Yellow Buses will cease trading on Thursday evening after administrators failed to find a buyer for the business.
The historic company, which recently celebrated is 120th birthday, fell into administration on July 29.
On Wednesday (August 3), joint administrators Simon Rowe and Rachel Hotham of Milsted Langdon confirmed they had been unable to find a buyer for the bus side of the business, but had secured one for the company's coach services arm.
