Arriva Burton Sold to Midland Classic?

RE: Arriva Burton Sold to Midland Classic?
This will make Midland Classic seem like the 21st century Stephenson's. It would look like the opposite decision to when Arriva took over Midland, previously Midland Choice Travel.

I wonder whether this will encourage competition from Trent Barton or even National Express West Midlands? West Midlands Travel ran a few services in Burton in 1994, but this was in retaliation to Stephenson's with all their routes in the West Midlands.
