Not quite.
Bullocks sold all of their commercial bus operations to stagecoach retaining the 147 and NHS contracts along with many schools etc. So stagecoach knew bullocks were retaining the 147 etc.

Goodwins sold their bus operation because they wanted to concentrate on coach work. They even suggested very publicly that the bus operations were effecting their reputation as a coach operator because often bus passengers would leave poor feedback if a service they were operating was late due to circumstances beyond their control - which effected coach bookings etc. So they sold out to Rotala only to start again.
They must have a good working relationship with Rotala though as they often loan them buses.
