Please post about P&O Lloyd here[/php]

I've noticed for a while from the train line between Lostock Gralam and Northwich it's possible to see a debranded Stagecoach decker parked up in a club car park. Does anyone know who it belongs to and whether it's still used?

I thought it would be interesting to have a thread regarding the status of the latest ex-London vehicles to transfer to the North West

As many will already know, there are a significant number of services that have ended or changed due to Jim Stones and MCT closures and withdrawal of services around Wigan by Diamond Bus. I have seen some information about this in various threads on this forum. However, given the extent of the changes, I would be grateful if anyone could provide a comprehensive list of new operators for existing, and amended, services from April. Thanks in anticipation.

Not seen this anywhere else, but Roy Johnson told me today that coach operator Derrick Ball ceased operations in January 2020, the owner deciding to retire. At least half the fleet went for scrap, no purchasers being interested in some elderly, but mostly well-kept coaches.

Just to inform you Halton Council have now updated all the Bus timetable but for the evening and Sundays service's covered by Warrington Own Bus here is the link https://www3.halton.gov.uk/Pages/publict...ables.aspx

Hi all just thought I would start a new thread as I'm sure theres gonna be much conversation going on over the coming months if not into years if the buses in gm land are brought back into public control

Following the release of the Forthcoming bus service changes agenda for the upcoming GMCA meeting on 17th of January 2020, Has revealed some shockers of changes proposed to the subsidised network in April 2020.

The areas to receive the worst cuts to services is Oldham and Saddleworth with a lost of a quite few connections and it all to save TFGM money and cut vehicle usage down.

Theses are the proposal put forward for Oldham and Saddleworth

151 Mandley Park - Cheetham Hill - N.M.G.H - Moston - Failsworth - Hollinwood - Curtailed
Proposed new route N.M.G.H - Moston - Failsworth Tesco

343 | Hyde - Stalybridge - Mossley - Lees - Oldham - Route Change and Curtailment
Proposed new route Grotton to Oldham via Cooper Street - Austerlands - Waterhead. Partly replacing the 418 service but no changes to the Sunday Service which will continue via Lees

353/354/355 | Uppermill - Mossley - Heyrod - Ashton/Carrcote - Uppermill - Stalybridge - Ashton - Withdrawn
Officers are purposing to withdraw these services and replacing them with a extended 356 service

356 | Greenfield - Uppermill - Denshaw - Route Extended
Proposed new route Oldham - Moorside - Denshaw - Diggle - Uppermill - Mossley - Stalybridge - Ashton partially replacing the 407 and 353/354/355 services.

403 | Shaw - High Crompton - Rushcroft Circular - Major Revisions
The officers are proposing to revise this service to partly replace the 418 and create it to serve Oldham as Oldham - Shaw - Buckstones - Cowlishaw - Shaw - Oldham serving Royal Oldham Hospital

407 | Oldham - Denshaw - Withdrawn
This route is proposed to be withdrawn and partly replaced by a extended 356 service

418 | Oldham - Royal Oldham Hospital - Oldham - Lees Circular - Withdrawn
The officers are proposing to withdraw this route.

Theses all only proposals at the moment that will drastically affect the already disconnected bus network in and around Oldham. and will no doubt lead to further decline in passenger numbers.

This is where you will now find information that was previously posted on the VOSA Bus Registration Search thread. Thought I'd start a new thread whilst:

1. The organisation from which this information is collated has changed.

2. Start of new year thus making certain weeks easier to find (hopefully).

I intend to create a fresh thread for this every 12 months (starting January) if I can remember.
