They cover such a huge swathe of the UK with bus and rail that there are bound to be concerns that whoever gets it will end up with a monopoly which needs breaking up.

I would think DB would want to sell the lot in one go, but the quoted €4bn price may put off some suitors and as a result, there may be elements or divisions hived off separately - if DB get that desperate.

I was just thinking that, we could have a company come in from elsewhere in the world but a £4bn price tag might put them off.

I do hope they sell area's separately though, would be for both Go North East and Stagecoach to expand their profiles in the NE

Ticket prices may increase but would be worth it.
