I've been told this (rumour I think it is) by a fairly reliable source. If I get any updates I'll keep you guys posted! (:

Such a sizeable sum would go some way to enabling First to raise their much-cherished £100 million. If OL and QR are being checked out, we may not be far off seeing the return of GM Buses reunited as one company!
