On 23/01/2009, Preston Bus was sold to Stagecoach with the routes operated by Preston Bus being rebranded as Stagecoach in Preston from 03/2009.
In 11/2009, the Competition Commission ruled that the takeover by Stagecoach had adversely affected competition in the area and ordered Stagecoach sell Preston Bus. Following this ruling, the Preston Bus name and logo was reinstated and the company was operated at arm's length from the main Stagecoach business. In 01/2011 Preston Bus was sold to Rotala. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Bus.
