Rotala - Prestonbus

RE: Rotala - Prestonbus
There is no working relationship, other than Rotala's Diamond Bus North West bought what was Go-Goodwin's original Little Gem operation along with one depot building, vehicles and a number of routes in the Trafford area. Go-Goodwin's under another contract supply or supplied maintenance services to both Diamond Bus North West and Preston Bus, not sure if this is still the case as the Bolton depot taken over from First has quite a large workshop similar to what an old main works would have been like. Also Go-Goodwin's from time to time have loaned vehicles from their school fleet to Diamond Bus North West and Preston Bus for operation in service, in the past deckers have been loaned on subsequent weekends before Christmas for usage on service 132 Trafford Centre - Wigan which can get particularly busy on Saturdays in the run up to Christmas, Preston Bus also loaned deckers and a Dart SLF saloon has also been borrowed on a few occasions and also some Optare Solo's that are still owned by Goodwin's. That it.
