What's the script with Wardle Transport? Why don't they use the conventional Arriva Midlands branding?
Because they kept it a seperate trading name due to the local people just like D+G done with soth lancs travel

Presumably Arriva tickets are valid on the service like staff passes/Arriva Midlands tickets etc?
Staff passes are but im not to sure if arriva tickets are valid,on another note ive seen wardles coaches knocking around merseyside quite a lot in the last 2 weeks.
Will this continue indefinitely, or has this segregation only been promised for a fixed period of 5 years for example?
Unsure but imo think it will stay as wardles as its a company that locals know and they think by changing things it may upset them but who knows anything can happen.
Ex Arriva Yorkshire Renown 3613, Y102 EWU, Was unusually on route X50 Yesterday, In Arriva Livery and Wardle fleetnames.
Arriva are in the process of divesting Wardle Transport to D&G, who used to run part of it anyway. This is due to be completed on May 9th.
Be intresting which buses go to D&G as well
