History


Cumfybus was founded in 1986 by Marshall and Patricia Vickers when a minibus was purchased to service nursing homes in Southport.[3]


In July 2013 Cumfybus opened a depot in Bolton following it being awarded 10 routes by Transport for Greater Manchester in the wake of the collapse of Maytree Travel.[4]



Operations


Cumfybus operates numerous commercial and tendered local services throughout Merseyside and in parts of Greater Manchester; it has also previously operated services in parts of Lancashire.[5] A few school and college services are also operated. The company also operates 'Merseylink' accessible dial-a-ride services on behalf of Merseytravel, using Optare Aleros. As at September 2013 it operated 32 routes.[6]



Fleet


As at September 2013 the fleet consisted of 80 buses predominantly Optare Solos.[7]



Hybrid buses


Diesel-Electric Hybrid Buses were introduced for the Liverpool city centre CityLink C1-C5 routes in May 2012.[8] These came in the form of 13 Hybrid Optare Solos of the original design (not SR). These look very similar to the Yellow Solos that they replace but they have the extra box on the roof which houses all the electrical equipment.



Livery


The standard fleet livery is all-over yellow, with multi-coloured fleet names. A few vehicles carry other liveries, including white, silver, or overall advertisements.



Depots


Cumfybus operate depots in Aintree, Moreton (Wirral), Bolton and Southport.[2]
