Stagecoach & National Express merger

Go North East would almost certainly lose out on the coaching side as the new National express/Stagecoach company would likely keep everything in house. I could see one of the Newcastle depots and Sunderland sharing the work up here
I think Hartlepool and Shields depots/network would very likely be sold off or closed with Go North East most likely to buy them. If they don’t sell and close them then Hartlepool would likely lose services and merge with the Teesside network and Shields doing similar with the Sunderland network
