It said that the 65 bus, which travels between Glasgow City Centre and Halfway in Cambuslang, was no longer sustainable. Passengers are advised to use the alternative services available. Chris Coleman, Head of Network at First Bus Scotland, said: 'Removing a route from service is never an easy decision, nor is it one we take lightly. 'Sadly, service 65 is no longer viable due to low passenger demand on the route. For passengers who currently use service 65, there are a number of alternative services available for them to use to get to their end destination. 'Details of these can be found on our website.' Instead, First Bus is reinvesting the funds into increasing the frequency of other services and improving timetables across Greater Glasgow. The company has invested more than £3m in bus, driver and timetable resources since April. This should improve the reliability of services. More than 30 per cent of their routes are said to be experiencing improved reliability already. Moment man swearing on bus is put in his place by fellow passenger First Bus said this will "hugely benefit" more than 63 million journeys in Glasgow annually. Elsewhere, Scots holidaymakers will now be able to travel directly to and from the UK's busiest airport as a brand new transport link launches.

Belgian club Leuven dismiss former Wales manager Coleman
June 12 (Reuters) - Former Wales manager Chris Coleman has been fired by OH Leuven six months after joining them, the Belgian club said. The former Wales defender was appointed in December by Leuven, whose owners also control Leicester City, and he led them to an 11th-place finish, enough to qualify for playoffs for a potential spot in European club competition next season. "In those playoffs, the performances remained below expectations. That is why the club is now opting for change with a view to next season and is ending the collaboration with Coleman," Leuven said in a statement. Coleman, 55, took Wales to the European Championship semi-finals in 2016. He also managed English clubs Fulham, Sunderland and Coventry City, and Spain's Real Sociedad.

Habitat for Humanity keeps building forward despite growing fiscal challenges
Habitat for Humanity continues to build forward amid a growing number of challenges. "Last year, we helped 139 families achieve homeownership," said Chris Coleman, CEO of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. "The cost of our materials are increasing so it's hard to predict exactly how much it's going to cost us to build a home. And then there's just uncertainty at the federal level about funding and what impact that could have on us." Locally, the proposed federal budget cuts could result in a funding loss of $4 million to $5 million per year. "If you look at the cost of housing which has skyrocketed, our family's incomes haven't. They've stayed relatively flat. The American dream of home ownership gets further and further out of reach for families" said Coleman. "So, we need to double our efforts. We need to work with our partners like we have here today with Apple Ford." Kelly Gulbrandson is community relations director for Apple Autos. "This is the first time we have employees from our stores here to help finish a home for a family. We get to come in and kind of make all the magic happen at the end, which is so rewarding," Gulbrandson said. That magic also comes from AmeriCorps volunteers. Two of them are working on this homesite. Last week, a federal judge issued a temporary block on the Trump administration's cancellation of hundreds of millions of dollars in AmeriCorps grant funding and thousands of workers in about two dozen states, including Minnesota. The decisions being made in Washington could alter Habitat's plans but for now, community support is helping hammer away at home insecurity. "We just keep on working. Roll up our sleeves and we figure out how we can help out families," said Coleman. Apple Autos is hosting a "One Day to Restore" event on Saturday, June 21, at all three locations to collect household donations for Habitat for Humanity Restores.
