All that means is that the Traffic Commissioner has granted Stagecoach Manchester permission to operate up to 150 vehicles at a time from that depot, as they have been issued with 150 Operating Discs.

They don't have to operate the full 150, it does allow for spares. However, the company could have 1000 buses at the depot as long as only up to 150 are in revenue earning service at one time. What can happen (and is allowed) is for a bus to go out with no disc on it to replace a bus that has broken down, and the disc taken from the broken down bus and placed into the replacement vehicle. You don't tend to see that happen anyway (although I have).
