A federal judge ordered Virginia Stage Lines not to cut bus service in southern West Virginia citing incalculable public damage. The injunction blocks reductions on routes from Bluefield to Huntington and Charleston to Logan, plus 10 intermediate stops, with service required in both directions weekdays.
