Can't see it being Nottingham. NCT and Trent Barton have it sewn up, there's the council involvement with NCT and as a result, franchising isn't something I see happening. 

Not sure how feasible it would be, but tying something up in and around Grimsby/Scunthorpe and the demand responsive stuff they've got around there would tie in nicely with the EYMS work on the other side of the Humber.

Tie that in with the Stagecoach sale, potentially looking to get rid of some areas...
Although politically part of Yorkshire and the Humber, we all know Stagecoach there is part of the East Midlands division.
