RE: Jim Stones Coaches
Surely someone must be picking up some of Jim Stone's routes especially 584 to/from Crankwood, in the past I've walked it from Plank Lane to Crankwood Estate and its actually quite a walk so unless not that many people use it I can see it inconveniencing quiite a number of the residents round there who won't have access to a bus service anymore except in the evening when Diamond run the Tendered services. Surely someone like Tyrers or Diamond can pick up the daytime journies considering Diamond do the evening journies and Tyrers do Sunday Daytime journies. |

RE: Jim Stones Coaches
If they are tenders and are used well then TFGM will re-tender them out and someone like Tyrers or vision will pick them up. |

According to Coach & Bus Week, 12 routes currently with Jim Stones Coaches have secured new operators. Alas it doesn't tell us who will be running which routes. https://cbwmagazine.com/vital-leigh-loca...ces-saved/ |
