But who would be able to buy it? In our area, the "competition people" who not allow Stagecoach to buy everything -- maybe one depot, perhaps.

First have been tending to reduce some of their bus operations.

Transdev seem to largely avoid "big city" operations.

Rotala - are they big enough to afford all of the Arriva bus operations ?

Go Ahead ??

Anyone else ??

And in any case, potential buyers will want to see if/how the city region mayors want to control / franchise bus operations in their areas.
