It's likely that the name Claribels Coaches Ltd would now be classed as defunct, meaning that the name Claribels could be used again I would guess. With regards to Johnsons, as you say only the bus operations of Johnsons were acquired, although a few have since been lost to Stagecoach under tender (eg X20).

Claribel Coaches Ltd is still owned by the Watkiss Family. But there will be covenants in the Rotala sale documents preventing the Watkiss family from re-starting bus operations within a set period of time following the sale to Rotala most likely:

It's the address of the liquidators, The Timothy James Partnership Limited.
