Yeah, it could if it wanted. But it isn't going to and for one simple reason, that being that Brian Souter himself recognised in a book that the Darlington saga did Stagecoach more PR harm than it brought any kind of good.

Let us not forget that Stagecoach is not the most recent to engage in dodgy practices. Arriva would have done exactly the same in Chester seven years ago as Stagecoach did in Darlington had Chester council not sold CCT to First as soon as they realised what was about to happen.
