Who mentioned a monoploy?
On a separate note, the title of the thread keeps changing.
I note there is no reference to previous ops within the title now - despite 99% of the thread being dedicated to the previous operator (as opposed to the VTEC thread, which maintains previous TOC details in the title).
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) provisional report into the Arriva Northern Franchise makes interesting reading. CMA have raised concerns in relation to the overlap of some Arriva Bus operations with the rail franchise.
Quite a large document so for those that don't want to read it all the pages relating to North East Bus Services are 133, 142 & 146.
