RE: JPT Bus Company
JPT have announced a few route changes and new routes, which will take place in April.

The 157 is a new route running between Hollin and Manchester via Middleton, Rhodes, North Manchester General Hospital and Rochdale Road, which will see JPT return to Hollin during the day Mon-Sat after losing the 129 (still serve Hollin with the eve/Sun 164). Route should compliment the 156 route too, which will resume a full service via Langley.

Another new route is the X81, although there are no details of the route yet. Given the numbering, it could be some kind of competing route to First's 81/81A.

JPT have gained the Sunday evening 98 service from First and also a journey on the 270 between Wythenshawe and Trafford Park (possibly the current GB Coaches journey). They will also be bringing back the night bus service on the 17.
