on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
It is three years ago since I last visited the ‘Capital of The North’ and at that time I thought the future of transport there was settled for years to come.
Little did I know.
The ‘Go-Ahead’ group took over some of ‘First’ groups operations in the City, ‘Rotala’ took over ‘First’ group’s operation out of Bolton, ‘Transdev’ seems to be much the same,’Arriva’ seems to have gone into decline whilst ‘Stagecoach’ has blossomed.
Every other bus seems to carry ‘Stagecoach’ colours and the variety of liveries that the company uses helps make Manchester the colourful city it is.
The electric hybrid livery using green on the standard livery layout to highlight the buses ‘green’ credentials.
As these buses come up for re-paint, I have noticed many re appearing in fleet livery or as pictured below in ‘magic bus’ livery
