Arriva can run buses better than some of the bigger bus groups , namely First .

Its just arriva was given a pig in a poke with Northern , nothing they touched worked , Northern Eelectrification late , new trains late , Guards Dispute (Government inspired ).

If i was Arriva i wouldnt come back whilst Andy Burnham is Mayor of Greater Manchester , he was the biggest instigator of them losing the Franchise.
