A priest is suing a coach firm for pounds 25,000 for breach of contract because some of the 103 teenage volunteers he took to Lourdes were 'ill for a week'. Father Hugh Cullen of Llanelli, Dyfed, said one of the two buses provided by Glantawe Coaches of Swansea broke down on the M25, they missed two ferries, broke down again in Bourges and were eight hours late. They also broke down on the way back. The company said the matter was being dealt with by its solicitor.
