A 76 year old local coach company has closed just weeks before back to school travel plans kick in. Bucks Council has confirmed to Bucks Radio that they have two home to school transport contracts with Heyfordian Travel, affecting three schools. As a result of the announcement that the company has ceased trading, these routes will be retendered and they anticipate no disruption to students.
From the Heyfordian Travel Limited website:
It with the utmost regret that Heyfordian Travel Limited will be cease trading as of today Tuesday 1st August 2023. We are so sorry after 76 years of trading that unfortunately it has come to this. We just faced too many headwinds with inflation, rising costs, driver shortages and having massive interest charges on our bounce back loans that it has become impossible to continue.
