[2] Cumfybus was founded in 1986 by Marshall and Patricia Vickers [3] As time went on, depots were opened in Aintree, Southport, Kirkby and on the Wirral (initially at Birkenhead before moving to Moreton in 2012).
In July 2013 Cumfybus opened a depot in Bolton following it being awarded tendered routes by Transport for Greater Manchester in the wake of the collapse of Maytree Travel.
[4] In March 2019, following the expiry of, or unsuccessful renewal bids for, some of the tendered contracts, the company closed Bolton depot.
[clarification needed][7] Some equally old double deck vehicles are based at Southport, with one stored at the former Aintree depot, which closed in April 2024 and is used for the remaining school services in Liverpool.
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.
