Have had reports today from a very reliable source (Omnibus Society North Western & Yorkshire Branch) that this company has ceased trading today. I'm sure there will be more details to follow.

Oh another operator (Classic Bus North West) where a tendering authority (Lancashire county Council) was a bit quick in cancelling some tenders then subsequently finding out that the company may have run into difficulties .

Unfortunately the proprietor of Classic Bus North West is currently on holiday, which hardly makes the situation any better. I believe the 22 service may continue to run as this is on a separate licence of Oakwood Travel based in Liverpool.

Classic Bus North West was the operating arm of Lancastrian Transport Trust who owned a selection of Blackpool Trams. More details in the Blackpool Tramways thread but enthusiasts have been wary of them after selling one of Blackpool's famous Boat Cars to a museum in America after people had put money into the trams preservation.
