RE: Cumfybus
Has cumfybus got more than one depot? It took me by surprise seeing their new services after only seeing them in Liverpool/Southport before now

Cumfybus has a Depot in Aintree, a Depot in Southport (Around the corner from Arriva Southports) and a Depot in Farnworth, Bolton (The former Maytree Yard)

I think NT06 GKA arrived at the same time (and probably from the same source).

Thanks for this saw it going past my window and originally thought it was one of the recent acquisitions from Holmeswood so decided to go for a ride and find out.

On the subject of the Bolton depot and Maytree, is the former Maytree owner Gary Hawthorne?? Still involved in Cumfybus's Bolton operation?

That has since moved (about a year ago) to the area of halliwell in Bolton.

RE: Cumfybus
Southport depot is run out of a yard on Russell Road shared with another business. Can't see them moving it to Aintree because of the costs plus the Southport operation is run by a bank of regular, mainly semi-retired drivers. I'll check though.

RE: Cumfybus
The Southport depot/outstation is still operational. Buses are running in and out of it on routes 15, 40, 701 and 715 at least.
