It would prob be First Chester & Wirral

It would have to be. It would really upset passengers round here if the buses had manc branding!

I think it would have been better had they been left on first Pottieres lincence as are 60032-42

It's because its now part of First Manchester division hence First Manchester branding, First Potteries has been dissolved with Stoke moving to the First Midlands division.

I hadn't realised PMT had gone. That's a big part of UK bus history gone with Potteries Motor Traction, just like Crosville itself.

60032 to 60042 are still on First Pottieres Lincence based at Wrexham out stn not sure if these will ever have first manchester legals

RE: First Chester & Wirral
It has been said on here before that the School contracts in Wrexham are up for renewal in 2014 (After 12 years) and it might well be that the Bluebirds run under the PMT license until a decision is made in 2 years’ time, i.e. If they bid and win they would be transferred or if they don’t bid/don’t win then there would have been no need for the transfer anyway. That is what is generally thought.

Initially of course when Chester was moved onto the 'First Manchester' license most of the Bluebirds, except 1 or 2, did receive 'First Manchester' legals for a week or so (see here), but these were changed back to the 'First PMT' ones and placed on one of the windows for some odd reason, must have been some over reactive staff in Chester who went around changing the legals on everything in the depot!

and last time I was over in Hanley last year the buses there still had PMT legals so the school buses are not the only ones
