A North Manchester based coach and bus company J.P Executive Travel have invested in some brand spanking new additions to their growing fleet after receiving a £250,000 loan. It comes after the announcement that the company have been awarded the contracts to run an extra 5 routes in the North of Manchester by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive.

New buses were needed to cope with the expansion plans so J.P Executive Travel splashed out on a brand new double-decker and a single-decker coach to operate on the new bus routes. These new high quality vehicles will provide passengers with a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.

The family run bus firm was set up by Peter Walsh 35 years ago and was originally a coach hire company. Now Peter’s wife, Joan, and son, Mark, have taken over the day-to-day running of the business. Managing Director Mark said, “As we take on more work it is essential that we continue to update our fleet in order to ensure that our customers can travel in modern, comfortable vehicles.”

This year alone J.P Executive Travel has spent £400,000 on new vehicles so as to maintain a very high standard of service across all their routes. In total the company have 35 routes in operation across the North of Manchester, Bury and Rochester, and Managing Director Mark is confident of adding a few more to his list.
