It has no website and the Sightseeingbus.co.uk website says 'coming soon'. On another note, the boss of Sightseeing Manchester has been advertising for 1 tour guide based in Chester which leads me to believe, a registration will soon be in place for a tour in Chester. It is interesting to note that the registration has all the vehicles based in Darwen. Isn't there meant to be one operating centre in each traffic area in which your service is registered and the operating centre should be where the buses are normally based? Birmingham and Leeds tours are not in the North West traffic area nor are they near the operating centre? No one with a brain would make a bus in Darwen run NIS to Birmingham everyday for essentially 5h work to then come back. It just doesn't happen surely.

Where's the extra buses for these services?? I know he's bought another open top Trident - which is still in the previous operators livery in his yard, and he's just acquired a former Stagecoach open top Olympian again still in Stagecoach colours.

As to the operating centres. Are the Manchester vehicles driven too and from Blackpool for use in Manchester or are they stored locally in Manchester?
