Just look how many companies, Stagecoach have put out of business, not only in the Manchester area, but the North West in General. If Stagecoach loses a contract to another operator, then Stagecoach will register it commercially.

Not surprising really as Stagecoach has the most modern fleet and is the most efficient of all the big companies. They were bound to take the opportunity to retaliate against First assuming this takeover is true as heard nothing yet from Stagecoach

Stagecoach have played a very clever pack of cards. They have never shown any interest in JPT over the last few years but have ended up with two comnercial services that I'm sure they will work on improving and a handful of well paid tenders. Stagecoach always seem to get criticised for taking over a company with critics claiming they are becoming to big but I carnt see them getting much stick this time as to the naked eye they have done it to save jobs and services.

As for the transfer, no nothing's been confirmed but given that JPT vehicles are being fueled up every night at Stagecoach Middleton depot I think it's pretty clear what's on the cards so to speak.
