Within a few weeks R&M Coaches, another local operator, also sold out to Western Greyhound which brought one more vehicle and an office near Newquay bus station.
[2] This left one other independent bus operator in the town, Pleasure Travel Minicoaches, but this went out of business and the contracts were also taken on by Western Greyhound.
Further contracts were awarded in 2001, and double decker buses were added to the fleet to operate school routes relinquished by First Devon & Cornwall.
After that many more routes were added to the network including some from Plymouth Citybus and DAC Coaches in the south east, and Hookways in the north.
In the same year the ex-Western National bus station in East Street, Newquay was closed on safety grounds and replaced by a new and larger terminal at nearby Manor Road.
Western Greyhound's town centre shop was also moved to the Manor Road site where it became the bus station enquiry office.
[18][19][20] Western Greyhound's services were taken over by First Devon & Cornwall, Plymouth Citybus and Stagecoach South West.
[22] From 2008 until September 2013 Western Greyhound operated the Truro park & ride service under contract to Cornwall Council.
