But imagine pulling into Middleton bus station on a 41 and being unable to load or offload a wheel chair passenger because the ramp is at the middle door. Rotala famously brought in a batch of dual door deckers when they took over south lancs many years ago. They set about refurbing and painting them for the Trafford centre services only for TFGM to refuse them to be used in the Trafford centre due to the centre door and ramp location so they were quickly moved on to Preston bus.

Trafford Centre bus station is run by Arriva ( or was it never been TFGM as it Peel holding who owed it)
