Megabus marketing third party operators?

[telstarbox]

I was having a look around on the Megabus website and they now seem to offer routes for other ops such as:

London to Wincanton - "Operated by Berry's Superfast". This starts at Hammersmith rather than Victoria;

Oxford to London - "Operated by London Tube".

Is that a new thing?

It's always marketed Stagecoach services, e.g. the Oxford Tube and the X5, in some measure. I've not seen totally third parties like that, though.

Berrys has been on there for a short while and as have some Stagecoach routes.

Megabus offer tickets on Arriva Greenline, Oxford Greenline, Transdev Flyer and Airport Bus Express

Arriva's 757 (Luton - London) seems to have (I presume a quota of) tickets sold under both the Megabus and Easybus brands as well. I'm not sure if either of the others ran their own coaches as well at one time (before Covid?)
