I think it's inevitable there will be changes in the future, not just with liveries and 'names', but routes and depots.
Virgins deal with CYBG included a lot of clauses, some of which are in the public domain and place time constraints on use of buildings, staff redundancies etc.
Stanley agreed certain things when they were bought out too. Hence the lack of competing services for a number of years.
Being honest, I think we will see depot closures, route consolidation, fleet disposals, staff reductions and deals with other operators. Scarbrough operated by Transdev maybe?
I will predict this all happening in 3-5 years time, depending on the terms agreed in the contract.
