I think the next few weeks even months should see them continuing as normal but if what some of their drivers are saying is correct the next few months could see some interesting developments, but at least it's good news for the drivers and depot staff who still have jobs

Especially for those loyal staff that have kept things moving this week despite all the uncertainty.

RT59JPT seen heading down the M60 past Droylsden about half an hour ago, could this be linked to the saving of JPT/sale of vehicles?

Rumours are that Stagecoach have bought JPT for £1. This would tie in with JPT vehicles receiving fuel and servicing at Middleton.

Given that JPT buses have been seen at Stagecoach's depot nearby it doesn't take a genius to work out what's going on.

I'd say £1 is about what JPT's fleet is worth.

All current JPT services, contracts and staff are expected to officially transfer to Stagecoach's Middleton depot this coming Monday. No vehicles are expected to be included. Official announcement I would expect either on Monday or before weekend.

Lucky I'm going into Manchester tomorrow, need to get as many photos as possible. Explains the Enviro300 bombing it down the M60 earlier then
