I've said it before and ill say it again it will be the worse thing to happen if 3 large operators become 2 giant ones. Need new blood in the north east to shake it up a bit!

I can't see it happening myself. 
Mentioned previously the issues that the competition and markets authority would potentially have.

They investigated Arriva and Northern rail and the fact there was no competition in many areas of the north. 


Regardless of that, for one large dominant company, to take over such a network as vast as Arriva's UK market - yet another example of how flawed de-regulation is?

1000% agree. De-regulation was suppose to create competition  in the bus sector. but never happened on the routes I used ( well except when the OK travel 44b ran v northumbria 44) .

oh and just to add that was a great time to be a bus passenger. no fair rises.... extra buses on the 44 when it was running late. always got home on time!

Good I say as I don't personally rate them as an operator, will be interesting to see what happens.

Now that Arriva have Ticketer machines installed, if another operator using these ticket machines was to acquire an Arriva depot, would it just be a simple case of a 'software update' to get these onto the new operators systems?
