RE: JPT - Wright Dart 40416 - 15 Apr 2014
If anyone on here has plans on visiting/riding on JPTs vehiclies I'd get into Manchester quite quick, in fact try and get over this week as from what I've read on other forums by Friday that will be it, JPT will be no more.
A tragic end to what was once a good and reliable bus company in the Manchester area
RE: JPT - Y961 XBU - 15 Apr 2014
I wish people would stop posting idle Gossip thats not confirmed...
Onto what is confirmed tho JPT have bought Layland Olympian H159 BKH with the Fleetnumber 501 and it has entered service on the 118 service today (Manchester to NMGH) It is in a White and Light Green Livery with LED's. The Bus also has strange Green JPT Fleetnames but it does look smart.
RE: Fairbrothers - Y961 XBU - 15 Apr 2014
Fairbrothers have bought Ex Arriva North West DLA 4078, very poor choice there by the manager as these Buses are very well known for all the wrong reasons

11 Liverpool - Old Swan via Tue Brook (Change 18/4/14)
Service Withdrawn
38 Liverpool - Halewood Okell Drive via Halewood Shopping City (Change 9/6/14)
Service will be re-timed and routed so it will only run from Liverpool - Halewood Shopping City, it was always late and no one ever used the Bus past the Shopping City anyway, One thing not mentioned in the timetable is the 38E is Withdrawn (was only 1 single trip anyway)
Heres a Timetable: http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travelling-around/timetables/AllTimetables/38%20Liverpool%20-%20Halewood%20%28from%209%20June%202014%29.pdf

Heres a Timetable: http://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/travelling-around/timetables/AllTimetables/320%20St%20Helens%20-%20Ashton-in-Makerfield%20or%20Wigan%20%28from%2022%20March%202014%29.pdf
500 Liverpool Airport - Liverpool City Centre (Change 12/5/14)
Before the change this was just 1 late evening single trip now its a night service!

When I was on holiday in Blackpool last month the 68 was a mix of Tridents and Enviro 400s.

I did manage to ride a Versa on the 65 though which was a nice surprise!

Stagecoach
Gilmoss are in the process of receiving ex-Preston Optare Versa 25228-34, replacing 7 Pointer Darts (including 34743-5) to Chorley.
3 Tridents are in the process of transferring south from Fife - ex-Rennies 17111 (V477 KJN) and 17113 (V113 MEV) being the first 2 confirmed.

Stagecoach Manchester's purchase of JPT has been cleared by the CMA.
RE: North West Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 31 Aug 2014
(31 Aug 2014, 4:04 pm)AIG20 Several Ex-Stagecoach London Dennis Tridents are currently being repainted into "Magic Bus" livery at Cumbria and North Lancashire's Carlisle Depot before being transferred to Manchester. These include:
17519 (LX51 FNY)
17522 (LX51 FOC)
17561 (LV52 USF)
Images owned by "Lee Wardle".
I wonder why the centre exits have not been removed?
They are said to be stopgap vehicles.
RE: North West Bus Operations - Kuyoyo - 09 Sep 2014
