    To be bought by American Coach company Greyhound. The major coup is part of Grehounds master plan. Spokesperson and owner Mr Greyhound went on to say, "We see the X19 to Doncaster as a massive route alot like the West Coast to East Coast shuttle in the US. As the bus only stops 4 times we could make the journey a pleasurable experience for all. If all goes to plan we will be painting the old red buses a shade of battle ship grey and painting the emblem on the side. This will make sure the standard of the coaches - as they are now to be called - are far better than the rubbish people get now.

    Id be scared. From what I know of Stagecoach and what I've exprienced first hand from Tracky's piss poor service it could mean some fingers are pulled out sharpish.
