JPT Bus Company

RE: JPT Bus Company
Just to add to the list of ex JPT vehicles currently in use.
I have photos of the following in service under Stagecoach all based at Middleton.
Plaxton Primo’s
49892
49893
49896*

B10L
21073*

Enviro 300
27625

Olympians
14071
14072

Presidents
16968*
16971*

Those marked with an asterisk carry Stagecoach fleetnumbers alongside the JPT numbers; the others carry just their JPT number.

I have photos of all the above (excepting two of the three Primo’s) on Flickr as well as other JPT changes including several on suspended tow to Wigan and PT51JPT at Wigan if anyone is interested.

Interesting to see 16972 on the P01 list as I have not seen any reference to this bus having returned to service and it was at Wigan minus some minor panelling, large front upper deck window and at least one side window.

Not all of the condemned JPT’s buses were off the road at the time of takeover, from what I can understand Stagecoach checked the whole fleet the week before and it was they who removed them from service due to a variety of factors, some possibly only due to tyre condition.
Indeed 16968 was taken to Wigan on suspended tow but has returned to service faster than most of the stock that was driven over to Wigan.

W472BCW JPT 530 has been allocated Stagecoach number 16967, has anyone any info on its current whereabouts and condition.
