Oakwood Travel (Classic Bus North West)

RE: Classic Bus North West
The 12 did call in at St. Annes, but it only terminated at the square. It didn't penetrate further south, where the 7 and 11 of BTS go. Doing this would've made the 12 much more than just a tourist bus. They could've promoted it as a faster link to the town centre in Blackpool, coming off the prom to serve the town centre bus stops, then back on the prom at Talbot Square. And it would've been quicker during the day.

It's easy to look back, but if the 12 and 22 were doing ok (I have no access to figures so cannot comment), they could then have run another service to Mereside Tesco, the number 6, re-creating the old Blackpool Transport 6. Centreing themselves on Tescos at Mereside would be better than trying to branch out to Manchester.
