Jim Stones Coaches of Leigh to Cease Trading

Jim Stones Coaches of Leigh have announced this morning they will cease Trading on 18th April 2020 unless a Buyer is found, The following Statement was posted on their Facebook Page this morning.
We regret to advise that due to their poor health Joan and Jim Stones wish to retire and the business is available for sale until the proposed date of closure, and final day of operation, on Saturday 18th April 2020.
In addition to this the future of public transport in Greater Manchester is uncertain.
Our buses have served Leigh for over 33 years and we must emphasize that we are not going under. If a sale is not achieved our drivers will receive their entitlement and we will help them find new jobs.
We have made TfGM aware of the situation and will continue to keep them informed of any potential sale or closure of the business so that we can, between us, minimise any impact on our customers.
Thank you to our brilliant team and wonderful passengers for all your support over the years.
Jim Stones
