Maytree Travel - Bolton

RE: Maytree Travel - Bolton
No no, go there at night and a whole group of services are operated by Optare Solo's with Tyrer Bus lettering in the Leyland Area, if I aren't mistaken Tyrers of Adlington have no Solo's, and plus I've also seen them dead traveling over from Colne along the M65, at least one diagram also operates into Preston from Leyland (these signtings have been on Saturdays).

I also understand that a sub base is operted at Todmorden for contracts there won from First West Yorkshire.

The one concern I have, is how can they be winning all these contracts at a profitable price, and that if fuel costs where to go up or a considerable number of better contracts where lost would either company be viable, and as Tyrer Trawden has a shareholding in Maytree could not one bring the other down.

My suspision is that this is a possible outcome, presumably the only thing of value is the actual contracts.

These presumably in the case of Bolton would be split between SLT as Nicolas suggested and First Manchester depending on what it is and where it is exactly, maybe the 597 could go to Jim Stones. If the outcome at Trawden and Todmorden was similar probably First West Yorkshire, Transdev, Pilkingtons and Stagecoach and various others would perhaps mop up.

However I guess we wait and see as they have upto now survived quite a fair while.
