Bare in mind they have also just lost the 169 night time tender... And not heard of them winning any... When JPT made the announcement about their second depot (which feels like a lifetime ago!) I'm pretty sure they said at the time they were slowly moving away from the tendered services and were concentrating on the commercial side of the business - whether that still applies or not I dont know but that's the risk with tenders. |

RE: JPT Bus Company
if they was planning to sell out i dont think they would try and compete with other companys they would work at making what they got stronger For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

Ye I don't get what happened to JPT. Now I see large quantities of Olympians on the 118 with some Tridents. Did they loose too much money on the 17 that they had to sell assets? |

RE: JPT Bus Company
no they tried to expand, and sold newer buses to buy multiple old buses... |

RE: JPT Bus Company
simple math in the bus world for when you need extra buses (what JPT Did) 1 Nice new Enviro 400 = 2/3 Plaxton Presidents = 3/4 Olympians + a ALX200 = Aload of junk that no one wants to use |

RE: JPT Bus Company
Surely they could have secured finance or expanded a little slower? |
