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
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

RE: JPT Bus Company
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?
