I hadn't seen the article but I had heard about it.

I was rather surprised when I saw the news this morning I must say. Surprised there hadnt been any rumors actually as it mentions they have been working for the past month to 'preserve the business'.

Arriva are taking over a number of the routes:

Thanks for collating all that together.
I would expect more changes to come over the next 6 months whist it all settles down.
