The ‘Go-Ahead’ group’s ‘Go North West’ subsidiary came into being when they took over part of ‘First Manchester’s operations in the city.
This was in 2019 when ‘First’s Queens Road depot together with 163 buses and the services they operate were acquired.
When the ‘orbits’ brand was introduced in 2020, Matt Harrison, Marketing and Communications Manager at Go North West, said:
“Here at Go North West, we wanted to make a big statement with the launch of Manchester’s Orbits.
We’re adding a touch of quality, creating a better all-round experience and a more productive environment for our customers to relax and enjoy. We can’t wait to send these buses into Orbit!”
The front cover of ‘Buses’ magazine for August 2021 introduced you to the
‘Go North West’ ‘orbits’ livery.
Here are a couple more ‘orbits’ branded buses plus a non ‘orbits’ branded bus.
