I really hope this happens with Arriva, as I rely on them to get me to the pub. Non-alcohol nights out with the car just aren't as good. Parking near work in the centre of town is extortionate too, so prefer the £4 bus instead.
You'd hope this would be the case. Arriva NE seems to be in a death spiral at present, and if it's that evident to us from the outside you'd hope that people purchasing the business for a large sum of money would also see that.
It needs to happen sooner rather than later if they want to be successful, as when franchising inevitably comes around the powers that be certainly aren't going to look favourably on this current group of charlatans.
