RE: JPT Bus Company
d 17 02/01/2014 Rochdale - Manchester Run by Jpt. Jpt journeys are withdrawn. 112 15/01/2014 Middleton – Manchester Run by Jpt. Daytime journeys run by Jpt are withdrawn. Partly replaced by bus 118. 113 15/01/2014 Middleton – Manchester Run by Jpt. Withdrawn. 118 15/01/2014 North Manchester General Hospital - Manchester Run by Jpt. Times changed with additional journeys introduced. This is a big change for jpt, appears stagecoach have suceeded in bullying jpt off the 112, and lets face it they never stood a chance with the 17 either. Any information in regards to this would be appreciated. |

RE: JPT Bus Company
Probably likely... I dunno I think they need a route nobody does... or make a new one, such a hard thing to do though |

They were once a decent small operator who focused on tenders around the Middleton area, theres no reason why they carnt do it again. |

RE: JPT Bus Company
I am shocked at the 112, I thought they were doing alright on the route. How long have they been operating the route? I know they duplicated the Bluebird route, who operated before Bluebird, GM North? Not so shocked at the 17, I have only seen a maximum of 3 people on board. JPT did not even match the competitors offer, let alone add something extra. Who offered to buy them? |

I think JPT were doing ok before the Bluebird takeover and then it's taken time for Stagecoach to settle in too that area but it's inevitable they cannot compete against the big boys for long. Just look at Finglands - running at a loss for the last 3 years. I hate to speculate about alleged takeovers but it was well dicussed on thier own Facebook page last year, nether the less with Stagecoach about to start dominating their stomping ground I carnt personally carnt see any larger company touching them now. |
