And now that a company has come in and is investing money in the fleet whilst slashing prices they are worried. But what can the OFT do? Insist First retake over the depot? Surely if it rejects Stagecoach another company would be sought or the town would have no bus service.

And who would take it? Surely Arriva would be an even bigger issue for the OFT as they already run a lot of services in the area, whereas before this Stagecoach only ran an hourly 113 to Preston.
