Arriva seem to be an easy target on here. The negativity for them is astounding, only matched by the impression that GNE can do no wrong. I made a couple of points earlier on in this thread and was surprised nobody picked up on them. Either nobody disagreed with what I said or the points that I made were widely off the mark. Which was it?
The issue is DB aren't investing in Arriva, the seem to be doing the usual tactic of sucking as much money out of them as possible to then dump them on someone else when there isn't anything else to gain from them.
It's all well and good having a basically infinite pot of money but if they aren't willing to spend it, the only way is down.
Plus, just because the parent company is in a relatively good financial position doesn't mean Arriva can't go tits up
As to the comments quoted above, where is the evidence that DB are sucking Arriva dry? If it’s your opinion, then say so, or provide the evidence, don’t just make a statement purporting it to be a fact.
