I thought you were referring to the 200 Wilmslow-Manchester Airport but then I'm aware a new contract starts on that service in March and the contract has recently been re-awarded to GHA. I think that 200 service used to be operated by Starline Travel in the early 90s so would have transferred to North Western. However, I think that route then went to Selwyns who purchased the 'Airport division' of Starline off North Western which was mainly coach work.
