Do you really think Stagecoach is going to react by just sitting there and doing nothing...
Same as above, plus it's already happened circa 2007 with both of them nearly getting into serious trouble for secret deals about them not doing it again and who runs what. I'm sure GNE won't want to resurrect 'Sword, Spear and Shield' for the sake of it.
