I hope that someone down that way has OCD and pays for the partial repaint and re-applying of the fleet numbers.

With effect from 01 December 2014, Oakwood Travel Services Ltd has been renamed Catch22Bus Ltd to consolidate the bus services operated within the increasingly recognised trading & brand name.
The name change was introduced to coincide with the company's new financial year and has been recognised by Companies House, there being no other changes to the legal entity.
Also on November 3rd they started operating a new service 6 operating between Grange Park Estate and Blackpool Town Centre, via Layton operating every 15 minutes.
