I wonder if the operations could be sold , its an area that will need some form of public transport.

I wonder whether this is shot across the bows of the councillors of both Cheshire councils .

Yes, it seems that Arriva inherited North Western when they purchased British Bus, then purchased MTL and have subsequently closed most of North Western.

Apart from depots in Bootle and Runcorn, and routes either to Warrington from the west or to Skelmersdale or Wigan, Arriva North West will just be a glorified MTL.

This admittedly is also due to Bolton definitely and Wythenshawe likely lost by Arriva due to franchising.
