I won't go into detail but he made some very interesting comments regarding GMPTE/tfgm and hinted that Stagecoach were the ONLY interested party and had another operator shown any interest the sale would have gone to them. Money talks and Stagecoach clearly paid a bit for the company but I don't think he went to them and begged them to buy.... I'm a little surprised as I understood from (then) contacts st Stagecoach that relations between Stagecoach and the Dunstan family were always good after Mike's dad retired from GMT/GMB - he was Stockport depot manager for many years. No idea about relations with GMPTE/TFGM but wouldn't have thought they would be anywhere near as bad as with certain Operators in that area. Notwithstanding all that, Stagecoach would logically be the only interested party allowed to bid as Bluebird ops were deep in First territory. |
