:09:50. > :09:55.company which is expected to go into administration.
:09:56. > :09:58.Big Wales football fan Liam Williams was looking forward

:10:09. > :10:11.Or at least, that is what he thought.
:10:12. > :10:14.But since hearing the company he had booked with, Silcox Coaches,
:10:15. > :10:17.intends to file for administration he is now worried he won't make it
:10:18. > :10:22.I probably won't see this happen again in my lifetime.
:10:23. > :10:25.Wales against England in a European Championship.
:10:26. > :10:28.It is not great with the uncertainty but hopefully we'll have some good
:10:29. > :10:31.news with regards to a replacement company, but at the moment there has
:10:32. > :10:39.not been much communication with the company at all.
:10:40. > :10:41.As well as worried customers, Silcox coach drivers stood around
:10:42. > :10:47.The company has been operating in Pembrokeshire since the 1930s
:10:48. > :10:51.and currently employs around 100 staff.
:10:52. > :10:55.But over the bank holiday weekend it came to light the company may soon
:10:56. > :11:02.This is Silcox's main yard here in Pembroke Dock and as you can
:11:03. > :11:05.see behind me a number of coaches are parked up.
:11:06. > :11:09.Earlier on today more than half a dozen blue Edwards coaches turned
:11:10. > :11:11.up here as the company prepares to take responsibility

:11:20. > :11:22.on buses to get to school, the council says it has had
:11:23. > :11:27.to act quickly over half term to find a solution.
:11:28. > :11:29.We are fortunate that with our own team and some
:11:30. > :11:32.of the teams from both Edwards Coaches and the other
:11:33. > :11:35.operators in the area, they have pulled together very well
:11:36. > :11:39.in helping us to make sure we have service continuity for next Monday.
:11:40. > :11:41.There has been no official comment from Silcox Coaches yet,
:11:42. > :11:43.but the Confederation of Passenger transport UK says it wants
:11:44. > :11:47.to reassure customers that it's carrying out a full review
:11:48. > :11:50.of the company's situation and will give an update on Monday.
:11:51. > :11:54.So for people like Liam the wait continues, but it's hoped this
:11:55. > :12:00.won't be the end of the road for this football fan's dream.
:12:01. > :12:03.Time to find out if there's more sunshine on the way tomorrow.
:12:04. > :12:17.Wales is definitely the place to be at the moment. The whole country
:12:18. > :12:22.that skiing in sunshine today and more sunshine to come tomorrow.
:12:23. > :12:31.Tonight the skies remain clear so it will turn quite cool. Tomorrow
:12:32. > :12:33.morning try again and sunny the most diverse but some cloud likely in the
:12:34. > :12:53.far south-east. Further west, plenty of sunshine.
:12:54. > :12:56.Note that -- lovely in Northern Ireland and sunshine for the South
:12:57. > :13:02.of Scotland and North West of England. Temperatures up to a warm
:13:03. > :13:08.18 Celsius in Belfast but much cooler on the East close, only 13
:13:09. > :13:13.Celsius in Skegness. A fine afternoon in Wales tomorrow. A few
:13:14. > :13:21.fair weather clouds and plenty more sunshine and pleasantly warm. The
:13:22. > :13:25.pollen count is on the rise. Tomorrow night a bit of a change.
:13:26. > :13:30.Cloud will spread westwards bringing spots of rain with it and also some
:13:31. > :13:35.missed until fog but staying dry in the south-west. Saturday not quite
:13:36. > :13:39.so nice. Some missed but that will lift and a few showers breaking out
:13:40. > :13:47.and they could turn heavy in places with thunder. Sunday will be the
:13:48. > :13:51.better Dave most of us. Drier and sunnier. Warm as well. A few
:13:52. > :13:57.thundery showers breaking out during the afternoon. It looks like there
:13:58. > :14:01.is more warm weather to come next week with the risk of a few heavy
:14:02. > :14:05.showers. That is all from me. Good night.
:14:06. > :14:08.We'll have updates from around 6.25am
