I struggle to see it as good news for Stagecoach, or more accurately, their customers.

I'd agree with that, but I'd be very surprised to see it sold on as a single entity. If they want a quick return for investors, then carving out and selling the most profitable parts of the operation off is likely the best way to achieve that.
