Glenvale Transport Limited
T/A Stagecoach in (PRESTON - Lancashire, GILLMOSS - Merseyside, ROCK FERRY - Wirral, CHESTER - Cheshire)

Not too sure about the legality of the "trading as" bit is to where the bus is allocated and running from, it's the Glenvale bit that's the important bit.

I believe 'trading as' is meant to show that where branding and legal operator name are different, people can work out that it is the same company on the same licence.

To anyone who uses the legal lettering 'Glenvale Transport' doesn't exist. None of the registered routes are operating and Stagecoach are running lots of unregistered buses. It kind of allows 'Glenvale' to trade as 'Stagecoach'.

I think by and large, anyone who uses the legal lettering, will know the situation. That said, I do wonder why don't Stagecoach change the names on their Ops licence? Surely that has to be better than faffing around using old companies names which no longer have any relevance.
