Arsonists are suspected of starting a fire at a bus depot in Cornwall which destroyed 35 vehicles, police said. | |
A third of bus company Western Greyhound's fleet was torched in Summercourt, near Newquay, at about 01:00 BST on Monday. | |
Among the vehicles destroyed were two new £100,000 coaches and four of Truro's six park-and-ride buses. | |
No-one was injured in the blaze but there has been widespread disruption to public transport in Cornwall. | |
Devon and Cornwall Police wants anyone who may have seen "suspicious activity" in the area of the depot to contact them. | Devon and Cornwall Police wants anyone who may have seen "suspicious activity" in the area of the depot to contact them. |
Western Greyhound managing director Mark Howarth said more vehicles were to be brought in to restore services. However, he added it would take "a little while to get organised". | |
He said other local companies were also helping out, with First Devon and Cornwall planning to accept Western Greyhound's season tickets on its buses. | |
