• No action has been taken against the three coaching firms run by Clayton Jones in South Wales — despite some 700 complaints about the way the company was operating local services.
The firms, Drysilver, CF&IE Jones trading as Clayton Jones Coach Tours, and Shamrock Private Hire Services, appeared before South Wales Traffic Commissioner, John Mervyn Pugh, following complaints from National Welsh, Cynon Valley Transport and Taff Ely Transport.
The complainants were concerned that there had been over 200 complaints since January when Clayton Jones had given assurances to the then-Commissioner, Ronald Jackson, that services would operate to schedule.
It was said that there had been a total and utter disregard for timings and services had not run over the registered routes and it seemed that Clayton Jones was totally incapable of keeping his word. Jones undertook to do everything in his power to run the services properly in the future.
Allowing the three firms to start again with a "clean sheet", Mervyn Pugh said that if undertakings were broken Clayton Jones could say goodbye to being a regular operator.
