Former Bus Services
Bus services were operated mainly in East Manchester, with the majority of services running between Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester via Ashton New Road. Mayne operated a diverse fleet of distinctive red and cream liveried single and double deck buses acquired singly or in small batches. One of the largest purchases was a batch of five East Lancs bodied Dennis Tridents bought new in 1999, striking in appearance compared to contemporary buses of the time. All buses carried the brand name Mayne.
Following the sale, the 37 bus vehicle Maynes fleet in Manchester, was transferred to Stagecoach Manchester's Hyde Road depot, with Mayne services becoming integrated into Stagecoach Manchester, and the Maynes fleet undergoing a repaint into Stagecoach colours.
A small number of ex Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company, East Lancs bodied Scanias were retained by the company for use on schools contracts.

Famous quotes containing the words bus and/or services:
“In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
