Maytree Travel was a bus operator based in Bolton in Greater Manchester.
History
[edit]The company was formed in 2008 by owner Gary Hawthorne, who took over the Bolton operations of Tyrer Bus, who first started operating in Bolton in 2007.[1] The company had over 35 routes and ran in the Bolton and Wigan areas. Several of its services were run on behalf of Transport for Greater Manchester,[2] including Bolton's Metroshuttle service, which Maytree ran from January 2010[3] until December 2012.
On 1 March 2013, Manchester Community Transport acquired Maytree for an undisclosed figure, with Maytree becoming a trading subsidy of MCT.[4]
Despite the takeover, Maytree Travel services were suspended on 4 April 2013 with replacements for tendered services obtained by Transport for Greater Manchester.[5][6]
