PD1025479/2 - THE SKIERS LODGE LIMITED, ALASKA BUILDING, SITKA DRIVE, SHREWSBURY BUSINESS PARK, SHREWSBURY, SY2 6LG

By looking at it they have a lot of minibuses but also have a few coaches too.

Service 56: The running times are totally unrealistic. Chorlton Street to University Precinct, 5 minutes, and then just 20 minutes to/from the Airport, with no peak running time variation.

I wonder if the vehicles could finish up running a Telford-Manchester Airport, then go on to the Manchester shuttles then do a Manchester Airport-Telford, in which case poor punctuality on one service would affect the other.

RE: Easybus Manchester Airport
Is there actually a link between this operation and Easyjet?

Not really. One is owned by Easy Group, the other was owned by Easy Group and licences the brand name.

I work at Shrewsbury Business Park and the office they have is a small part the building which has many other with 'To Let' signs after the previous company moved to another building, I took a nose last week as a matter of interest. Parking is at a premium also so they would not keep vehicles onsite if at all.

I've been told his connection is on a 'freelance' basis and that it's in an advisory type role - Presumsbly it's doomed from the start

Easy group is owned by Stelios. EASY group owns EasyBus and EasyJet so they are both owned by the same group.
