I can't see anyone else buying a large bus operator like Arriva. Maybe sell the services and buses to independents like A-Line, Phoenix, Stanley Travel etc, and close the depots??? I don't use Arriva, so would be happy to see them sold, and improved, so I can use the services!

DB have changed there mind of selling the bus side, it was originally up for sale as a whole unit and not separate divisions, floating it on the stock market instead, other members on here will know more

DB originally only wanted the rail side of Arriva when there initially purchased the company, it may seem that the rail side might be getting took off them.
