Yes that is Cumfybus that is in the old RedRider yard in Moreton. They have been there for a few months now their old depot has been fenced off and some by the looks of it some sort of work will be taking place there. I have a sneaking suspicision that the old site might be part of the Wirral Waters development

Well that will make them ideally located for the 901 then.


RE: Cumfybus - M113 YKC - 05/08/2012 13:54

Hybrid Solo YJ12 GXN was unusually on the 57C/58C/144/145 yesterday - first time in service? - along with Solo M710SE MX08 DHL and Solo M850 X182 NWR. YJ12 GXN went onto the 130 yesterday evening, too!

A hybrid Solo was unusually on the 157 this morning.

On the subject of hybrid Solos, YJ12 GXF now sports a back-end all-over advertisement.

VOSA info also confirms Cumfybus have won the following from October:

133 (Waterloo - Kirkby Admin) - Ex Stagecoach
162 (Penny Lane - Bootle) AM 162s, currently run by Ace Travel.
231/232/233/234 (Maghull Circulars) - Ex Ace Travel


RE: Cumfybus - Harryn9000 - 07/08/2012 18:40

so stagecoach gave up 133 then very good route that when most ppl was moaning about lack of buses in crosby hope they run it well


RE: Cumfybus - buses7675 - 07/08/2012 18:46

I don't think they gave up as such, but were underbid by Cumfybus as it is a Merseytravel contract route so, usually, the lowest biding operator wins the contract.

Could be a bit of a bus war going on here as i was informed by a driver last night that ace were supposed to be getting the 135/235 aintree/bootle circulars but now it transpires that cumfybus have taken the 135/235 and are going to run it commercially themselves so ace are lauching an application to retain the maghull circulars and run them commercially so its just a case now of wait and see.

I managed to get a photo of YJ12 GXN on the C2 yesterday - the latest hybrid Solo to enter service:

Also, I managed to visit this company's Southport depot. Here are some photos:
