If Go-Ahead are not going to buy McGills, maybe Transdev or RATP can? Mind you, it might be the asking price of £100m that is deterring potential purchasers.

McGill's owners have also denied, on TV, that the company is actually for sale.
If it was for sale though, and the price is correct, then you are right, it would be a deterrent. A fleet of largely second hand london crap isn't worth £100Millon!
McGill's have also acquired Mercedes-Benz Citaro X439 KON, re-registered 7 UUC, and numbered G3316.
I don't know if this is to replace the, unidentified, fire damaged Citaro or not. Though I haven't seen which Citaro it is, you can rule some out. That is the old style Citaro styling, and the emergency exit sticker looks like an Arriva one. Unfortunately it might be either G3311, G3312 or G3313.
McGill's will take over SPT supported Service 100 from First Glasgow on 27 April.
