Blue Bus, Horwich

11th January 2007

Established in 1991 by two former Shearings employees, Blue Bus became the largest independent in Greater Manchester, ultimately taking over the Blazefield group’s Bolton operations and depot in 2002. In 2005, however, Blue Bus sold out to Arriva, although owner Roger Jarvis retained the licence and later revived the Blue Bus name for an operation in Lancashire.
