The operation consists of two depots in Chester and one in Rock Ferry, Wirral. One of the Chester depots is that of the former Chester City Transport, acquired in 2007; the other two depots originally belonged to the former Crosville Motor Services, and were purchased (along with the then Ellesmere Port depot) by Potteries Motor Traction in February 1990. This explains their geographical separation from the traditional PMT operating area, centred on Stoke-on-Trent, which makes up the remainder of First Potteries, and is now known as First Staffordshire & South Cheshire. (This split used for marketing purposes does not match that required for licensing purposes, which places the south Cheshire operating centres in the North Western Traffic Area alongside Chester and Wirral.) The company also operates eleven Blue Bird AARE 60-seat school buses in the Wrexham area. Wrexham depot is classed as an outstation of Chester depot, although a separate operator's licence is held for these operations, as Wrexham is located in the Welsh Traffic Area. |
