M Travel - Metroline1511 - 19/08/2017 22:11
It occurs to me that I have rarely if ever noticed a thread on M Travel on here.
They run or have run occasional tenders. Examples are routes 276 & 328.

I occasionally see them now but evidently only on school journeys.
Any information on any regular routes of theirs would be welcome!

M Travel currently have a dozen or so routes around the Greater Manchester area, ranging from public services to schools. Their fleet mainly consist of post-51 plate Dennis Darts.
In Oldham, they run the 406 and 418 between Monday and Saturday using the same Darts and the same drivers almost everyday.

Don't know if they still do it but they operated a service between altrincham interchange and the retail park just on the outskirts of the town centre (broadheath) number 1.

They no longer operate this - it finished when all the altrincham timetables were re-cast. Now part of the 280-281 by goodwins (soon diamond)

They used to run a commercial football service from Piccadilly to old Trafford on match days utilising vehicles that would have been sat in depot doing nothing, not sure if they still do it.
