Other Works Services
When Stott's appeared on the scene in Greater Manchester in the 1970s/1980's, many factories and mills were still operant back then and Stott's had worked a number of work contacts to provide transport for employees. The decline in industry throughout the late 20th century meant many of these contacts expired and were not renewed as many factories and mills shut down, however there is still one contact operant this present day. Scott Mills in Greenfield has a contract worked by Stott's in the afternoons, usually the route number is the '125' service, which has been working since the existence of Stott's. The 125 service to Scott Mills is one of the very few works services still in operation; if any are at all.

Famous quotes containing the words works and/or services:
“Artists, whatever their medium, make selections from the abounding materials of life, and organize these selections into works that are under the control of the artist.... In relation to the inclusiveness and literally endless intricacy of life, art is arbitrary, symbolic and abstracted. That is its value and the source of its own kind of order and coherence.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
