I do agree in part.
I wouldn't be surprised if they have gained a tender somewhere so need to free up some vehicles.
Whats the betting that come March/April next year theirs another registration for them on the 17.
I always forget to check in when im in Manchester but how do JPT fair on the 112/113 services against Stagecoach?
Presumably Stagecoach feel no real threat as they are yet to 'turn up the heat' although they could be playing the waiting game.
i`d say there about even on the 112/113 services

Jpt get quite busy tbh, they are cheaper, but stagecoach run the late evening tender and are better quality... jpt seem to be a company for the elsewhere sacked, so quality in driving isnt the best... I can't talk my driving isn't perfect, but no customers hold on with me driving
RE: JPT Bus Company - M60lad - 13/11/2013 07:30
Actually if your talking about 112 then its JPT that run the late evening 112s and with them also running their 118s as well this means they've got a 30min service at night from Manchester-Moston Ben Brierley, infact at night there's only First and JPT that run up through Moston and Harperhey at night
RE: JPT Bus Company - jimbo - 13/11/2013 11:45
Im sure I saw somewhere that stagecoach put in a tender bid of like 1k to run it
RE: JPT Bus Company - Polo Mint - 17/11/2013 20:57
Ye I agree that it is 50/50 on the 112 at the moment. Hopefully the 2 companies can co-exist.

I wondered they have still BMC Falcon BU53PNV ex-Chester City Transport Park and Ride at JPT yard? or gone or possibly still in service?
