Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I think I understand now. So even though the ex JPT services are running on stagecoach Manchester licence and JPT vehicles are carrying Stagecoach legals they are continuing to carry JPT fleetnames, and the stagecoach vehicles are carrying 'JPT Service' notices to keep the brand, in this case JPT, going incase they are forced to abandon the takeover.

I seem to remember when Stagecoach first took over Bullocks a lot of the Maynes vehicles were used on Bullocks services with signs in the windscreens saying for example 'Bullocks 42' and 'Bullocks 157' so I guess this was similar. The brand or trading name has to be kept going until the takeover is cleared.
