If nothing else it certainly puts the pressure on JPT.
Interesting that rumours about stagecoach buying Bluebird were around a couple of years ago but nothing came of it, but it's a well known fact Bluebird have been struggling of late, so wonder if Stagecoach got the business for a song or is 2m a decent price?
