A Powys bus company has implored its passengers not to “abuse” its drivers just because they cannot speak Welsh or are not from Wales.
Lloyds Coaches issued a statement on its Facebook page, condemning any rude or abusive language and behaviour that drivers may be subjected to on account of not being fluent in Welsh.
It is understood that the Facebook post was made following a one-off incident rather than a succession of complaints, but the bus firm still felt the need to come the defence of its non-Welsh drivers.
The statement, made on October 18, said: “We're proud of our diverse workforce here at Lloyds Coaches.
“With our staff hailing from Blaenau to Bratislava, Machynlleth to the Midlands, our staff should not be abused for not being Welsh nor being able to speak fluent Welsh.
“They are here to get you to your destination, day in, day out, come rain or shine.”
