North West Buses

Hello and welcome to my North West Buses Site where I hope to be able to give you up to date information on both major and independent fleets in the area

Recently, the following have been changed

10th August 2008 - First ManchesterManchester Independents [Ashalls / Bullock], Stagecoach Manchester

31st July 2008 - ArrivaBlackpoolHolmeswoodCumbria Independents, Lancashire IndependentsStagecoach North WestTransdev East Lancashire, Warrington

29th June 2008 - FinglandsPreston, Shearings

Unfortunately, due to a serious family illness, this site will not be updated as regularly as I would have hoped for during the summer, as it is going to take a great deal of my time. Please bear with me during this period and I will try to update it as often as I have spare time. Thanks.

12th April 2008 - Halton

12th March 2008 - This is the start of a radical change to the site. There is a new look and all the individual photo pages have been replaced by the one photo gallery. This, in turn, removes most of the background music, so a new page has been set up to try to retain some of the tracks. The photo gallery is already open and includes a new section [Arriva North West] and some new photos. I hope to update the fleetlists over the Easter period.

1st January 2008 - I have also put in an Arriva file which lists vehicles at the depots in the area [i.e. Bolton, Manchester, Skelmersdale, Southport & Wythenshawe]. This was after requests made some time ago. I just hope I can keep it reasonably accurate!!! The rest of the Arriva North West & Wales fleet is well documented at www.dartslf.com/fleetlists .

1st February 2007 - Rossendale [official website link]

May I also point out that if anyone has difficulty accessing the files, please email me at the address below and I will forward them to you as I have no access to the individual email addresses of viewers signing the Guestbook.

If any of the links do not work, please advise me and I will try to correct them. Thanks

If you are able to help me keep this site as up to date as possible, please e-mail me at maljoe32@btinternet.com

If you wish to take a look at my photographic site please go to album4103.fotopic.net where you will find over 20,000, mostly transport related pictures, taken over the past 30 years or so

For those that are interested, this is the list of music that you will find on each page. If you just want to listen to the tracks, and have a reasonably up to date Media Player, just click and they should play!!!
