If that was ever to happen again neither would be winners

Can't see this happening, I'm sure the agreement with First not to run into Skem still stands with Stagecoach as Arriva did a deal with the Kirkby routes with them. Incidently didnt one of Arriva's bosses say Skem depot's future was Knowsley? As we know Skem is now history, they ran competing routes after the OFT's 3year ban on Arriva competing with GTL there
