DB are selling Arriva AS A WHOLE!

That's the entire Group - UK Bus, UK Rail, European Bus operations and European Rail operations - as a group.
If they cannot find a buyer for the entire group, they will be floating shares in the Group on the Stock Market.

Dont think so.....

Both articles mention one or more investors or an IPO.  There is nothing to suggest that the business will be sold to just 1 company.
