Veolia Transport Cymru is a division of the Veolia Transport group (formerly Connex), part of the French multinational Veolia Environnement. Formed by the purchase of a number of smaller independent coach and bus firms, the company has its headquarters in Parc Nantgarw, mid way between Cardiff and Pontypridd.
History
Veolia has acquired a number of smaller operators in Wales, including:
- Bebb Travel: family owned business operating local bus routes around Pontypridd, coaches on behalf of National Express, plus private hire. Following the acquision of the Shamrock group in October 2006, Bebb Travel became the legal name of the new Veolia-owned company, on about 300 vehicles. Today, replaced by the Veolia brand, the Bebb has all but disappeared
- Pullman Coaches
- Longs
- Hawkes
- Shamrock Travel (incorporating Thomas of Barry)[1]
- Crossgates Motors: based in Llandrindod Wells, purchased after Veolia out bid Crossgates in a retendering exercise by Powys County Council.
