Not necessarily, any bus operator in the UK etc.. can bid for the Northumberland, if Northstar gets a big financial backing there could bid and win those routes in Northumberland, or Northstar could gain running Sunderland services from the Wheatsheaf depot, Stagecoach could lose areas in Tyne and Wear etc…., too much ifs and buts, it will be a canny few years yet.
