Arriva and DB for Sale

RE: Arriva and DB for Sale
Business wise Wythenshawe is toast- the only way another firm would entertain it is if they wanted a ready made depot to gamble on Andy Burnham's franchise plans. I feel Arriva have (had) plans to grow the profitability of Runcorn, trams and bridges have seriously affected their businesses.

DB have visions of selling as the whole (as Angela has ordered), but in reality Stagecoach will cherry pick, but personally, I feel, Go Ahead, Transdev and Rotala will fight for the remnants.

I would not discount a modern take on the late 80s/early 90s ESOP arrrangement either if DB are forced into splitting the company,

Please DO NOT take the above as read- they are only my own views based on today's news although I've had a heads up on part.

Seems like Merseyside is keeping to form in the industry!
