RE: Sale of Local Authority bus companies
Surly at a time when we are constantly being told of budget cuts wouldn't local aurthoritys want to hang on to valuable assets like thier bus operations?

As for network Warrington. It does coke accross that they are short of cash given the way they rob passengers but I suspect that is down to current management. The need to go out and purchase brand new vehiches then flog them 3 years later as there no longer needed strikes me as slap in the face for hard up passengers - espically when other municipuls such as Halton and Rossendale happily make do with second hand acquisitions.

I would imagine NW would be gold to Stagecoach as it's a developed network in an area where they don't really operate.
Rotala I don't think would take an interest, and in any case they seem very slow to invest and develop there interests.
