Go Goodwins is an English bus and coach operator based in Eccles, Greater Manchester.

History

Go Goodwins was founded in 1976 by Alan Goodwin as a coach charter business.[1] It progressively grew and has operated contracts for sporting organisations including Manchester United Football Club and the England & Wales Cricket Board.[2][3][4][5]

In 2010, it began operating bus services under contract to the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive with five Optare Solos in Altrincham and Sale.[6] In 2011, Goodwins took delivery of three Alexander Dennis Enviro200s for tendered routes in Altrincham and Sale.[7][8] In October 2015, a MOT test facility opened.[9][10]

Go Goodwins operate a heritage bus division with several AECs.[11]
