Pennine Blue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pennine Blue, later known as First Pennine, was a bus company serving the Tameside area of Greater Manchester, England. It was an independent bus company running services to/from Ashton-under-Lyne in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its depot was based in Dukinfield.
The company was taken over by PMT in the mid-1990s and would adopt the PMT livery to its services, which resulted in the change of the name from Pennine Blue to Pennine, as the livery changed from blue to yellow and red. The company would change to First Pennine in the late 1990s when FirstGroup bought PMT and its subsidiary Pennine.
In the early 21st century, First Pennine would become part of First Manchester. Although, officially the services in Tameside are First Manchester services, First have registered the services as First Pennine.
