From time to time we like to share posts from other blogs that you may be interested in, and here's a real gem. Actually, it's more the opposite of a Gem* as it's a profile of late 80s/early 90s Manchester bus operator The Bee Line Buzz Company.
Stuart Vallantine has done his usual thorough job of covering the history of the operator and even includes a list of the routes they were operating back in 1987. You can read the post over at his East of the M60 blog here.
As a side note, does anyone have a list of the services Bee Line ran later in their life? Ian's photo here shows them operating the 197 (Manchester - Stockport) in 1992. They operated an 82 (Chorlton - Manchester - Oldham _ Rushcroft) around the same time. Does anyone have a full list?
(* Bad 80s bus pun - if you don't get it you will after you read Stuart's article).
