I think it will be sold off in portions due competition of local operators who may operate in the same area unless another operator takes over entirely.
With us in the North East we would be best off splitting Arriva's operations between Go North East and Stagecoach at an even split.
So for example Stagecoach would get Arriva operations from Stockton/Darlington/Redcar & Whitby. Go North East would get Arriva operations from Ashington, Blyth, Jesmond and Durham
Stagecoach Ops from Arriva
Darlington = Total of 107 Vehicles
Stockton = Total of 86 Vehicles
Redcar = Total of 62 Vehicles
Whitby = Total of 12 Vehicles
Total = 267 Vehicles
Go North East Ops from Arriva
Ashington = Total of 55 Vehicles
Blyth = Total of 53 Vehicles
Jesmond = Total of 78 Vehicles
Durham = Total of 88 Vehicles
Total = 274 Vehicles
