Passengers in Bolton, Wigan, Leigh and Manchester found themselves without a bus service yesterday when local company Maytree Travel pulled all their services of the road around 2pm yesterday afternoon, the firm had been trying to get insurance for their company as their current insurance runs out at midnight on the 6th of April but clearly they was unable to find an insurance company who would insure them and in turn that has lead to the company being shut down .
Now Maytree have shut down a lot of services are off the road, i have made a list of these on here regarding whats not running.
31 Farnworth - Manchester (Mon- Sat trips only)
95 Bury - Salford shopping city (Mon - Sat trips only)

510 Bolton - bury (mon-sun evening service)
519 Bolton - Johnson fold (mon - sat evening service)

Already theres been some movement with the sunday 273 service passing onto Rossendale who already run the other trips and the 680 timetable has been removed from the system so looking unlikely that will return
another blog post will follow when it becomes clear what has happened to all the services listed above.

This is a major shame and I hope all of the employees manage to find new jobs at Stagecoach, First and other local independent companies.
