The boss of a bus company which suddenly stopped running services has confirmed the firm has gone into administration. Wesley Goodwin, owner of Little Gem Buses, blamed soaring costs and the rise in working from home for the firm's demise.
Mr Goodwin said 23 Little Gem staff had been found new jobs with Diamond Bus. Last Friday, Little Gem announced several services, including a number of school buses, in south Manchester, Trafford, Tameside and Stockport were being axed with just 24 hours notice.
New operators have since been found for most of the affected routes, Transport for Greater Manchester said today (Friday, April 28).
