Ah that's fair play then. Be surprised if they touch up here GNE is a bit of a basket case for GoAhead since it struggles / doesn't really make a profit. Can't see them wanting to expand it further.

Can't see it. Arriva Midlands is a basket case aswell you'd be stupid to buy it on it's own no doubt at an overinflated price.

Local independents of your likes of EYMS is what they'll target imo. There's a few down that way. Comfybus, Centrebus even Wellglade maybe.
