- delete fails WP:CORP. Just a local bus company with no broader significance. LibStar ( talk) 15:21, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Significant regional company . Rightly or wrongly, we have always been very inclusive for transportation, . DGG ( talk ) 18:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- DGG - Hundreds if not thousands of bus company articles have been deleted and I don't see why this should be any different, Ofcouse if you can find any indepth and reliable sources/coverage I'd happily withdraw. – Davey2010 Talk 18:37, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
- hundreds have been deleted, and hundred kept. I have always !voted delete myself for ones running one or two routes.

- because hundreds have been kept is not a reason for keeping as per
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

- DGG - Nope sorry to disagree but most have been deleted with a few being kept, With all due respect you !vote Keep on any transport article without even looking at the article or the sources (I'm not having a go but I'm just saying it how it is), As I said tho groans aside if you can provide indepth coverage I'd be more than happy to withdraw however a company running more than 2-3 routes isn't a reason to keep. – Davey2010 Talk 18:48, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Only real coverage seems to be in the Accrington Observer, and there's not much even there. -- Andreas Philopater ( talk) 20:17, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: It's only available offline and I don't have access to it right now, but I recall seeing a lot of coverage of this company in Buses magazine over the years. Perhaps someone with a complete archive could check this out, because the online sources certainly aren't sufficient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:630:D0:ED2B:E164:B2F1:6A5E:745F ( talk) 15:09, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and GNG. Just not enough sources to establish notability. -- HighKing ++ 20:53, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
