North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited photographic line up (photograper unknown)
Information taken from ‘The Yelloway Road’ by Judith and Peter Deegan. Based on the dates shown in the fleet list therein I have assumed that the two vehicles at the far right are LJ 8798 and TE 8291. By deduction the photograph was taken around 1950/1951 (KNE 674 was new in 1950 and FV 1071 left the fleet in 1951).
From left to right (dates shown relate to the year in and the year out of the fleet. Those with no 'In' date were secondhand acquisitions):

ENE 804 Leyland TS8 Burlingham C33F (1938-1956)

William Makinson (Manchester) Limited END 418D was a Plaxton Panorama bodied Bedford VAM new in 1966. In 1968/1969 the Makinson business (together with the associated business North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited) was bought by Yelloway Motor Services Limited of Rochdale. Whilst no vehicles were involved in these takeovers this coach was leased for a few months along with a similar coach bearing the North Manchester fleetname (GNE 941E).

In 1968 Yelloway acquired the related businesses of North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited and William Makinson (Manchester) Limited based at 2 Moston Lane, Harpurhey,Manchester 9. Both were primarily involved in the operation of excursions and private hire although there were two express services operated by NMMC to Blackpool and to North Wales. The Blackpool service became part of the 'Fylde Coast' pool but the North Wales service continued with slightly revised timings as reflected in this 1970 timetable.

In 1968 Yelloway acquired North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited and the related William Makinson (Manchester) Limited business. The Makinson company was operated until 1973 when it was merged into the NMMC business. In 1975 NMMC was then merged into the main Yelloway business. This leaflet shows the range of excursion destinations Yelloway and its subsidiaries offered which took the coaches to some rather distant places all within the day reaching destinations in Scotland, Wales and eastern and southern England.

Both were primarily involved in the operation of excursions and private hire although there were two express services operated by NMMC to Blackpool and to North Wales. During the mid 1950s Yelloway together with Ribble, Standerwick, North Western and Lancashire United formed the 'Fylde Coast Services' Pool. One of the points of the agreement was that any relevant service subsequently acquired by one of the pool members would actually be purchased jointly, each participant paying a varying percentage of the purchase price. The pool services were all numbered 'X something 9' in the numbering system first inspired by Ribble and the NMMC service became X19. However, this was renumbered X29 the following year because North Western already had a service X19 operating from Manchester to Barnsley.

In 1968 Yelloway acquired the related businesses of North Manchester Motor Coaches Limited and William Makinson (Manchester) Limited based at 2 Moston Lane, Harpurhey, Manchester 9. Both were primarily involved in the operation of excursions and private hire although there were two express services operated by NMMC to Blackpool and to North Wales. During the mid 1950s Yelloway together with Ribble, Standerwick, North Western and Lancashire United formed the 'Fylde Coast Services' Pool. One of the points of the agreement was that any relevant service subsequently acquired by one of the pool members would actually be purchased jointly, each participant paying a varying percentage of the purchase price. The pool services were all numbered 'X something 9' in the numbering system first inspired by Ribble and the NMMC service became X19. However, this was renumbered X29 the following year because North Western already had a service X19 operating from Manchester to Barnsley. Over the years some of the different pool services were tweaked a little with certain pick-up points and routings adjusted to give improved service or better loading options. This summer 1976 timetable shows how the X29 had emerged to start at Holinwood but, in the main, covered many of the points served as in the service acquired in 1969. By this time the express services of Ribble, Standerwick and North Western had come under the control of National Travel. Lancashire United was absorbed into Greater Manchester Transport in 1976 with its express service interests dispersed to other express service operators.
