On the day that I was there, the most represented of the independant operators in the area were ‘Jim Stones Coaches’.

Locally based, the company operates an immaculately kept fleet that is known for its use of ‘quirky’ registrations.

The buses are painted in shades of blue which wether it is coincidental or not is the colour that ‘Leigh Corporation Transport’ used nearly 50 years ago.
