Shortage of buses/drivers perhaps?  I know years ago Western National subcontracted Torbay Buses (?) to operate two services in the Torquay area which Western National had the contract for at the time.

Short on buses. Apparently they're looking for 2 decent 2nd hand buses but until then Bus Link will be payed for it
