Halton Transport

RE: Halton Transport
If an operator decides to withdraw a service, or close down, then another company can come in, with their own assets etc, and register new routes, replacing the previous operator, without reference to the CMA. The reason? There hasn't been a takeover; one company has decided to withdraw, and a rival has replaced it. It's not viewed as a takeover, and so Arriva can come in and take over the services, and the staff, as long as they don't buy the company, IF, and I stress IF, such a situation were to occur.

And as nothing official has been stated yet either way, the official line is that Halton Transport is still trading.
