If that was to happen here then you may well get independents tendering for the route s they operate now. It will interesting to see what happens.

Aye, not sure that would be a good system though mind as you'd just end up with them taking the piss. Like only realistically Ashington could run the routes to Berwick, Darlington could only run the X75/X76 and so on.

Who knows tbh. It'll be a bit of a complex one to fix without giving Arriva and GNE a nice pay off for their shareholders though as they're the two that win from the above.
