First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
I've read a newspaper article today that seems to suggest that neither Bolton or Oldham depots have yet been offered for sale at this stage, hence why no sale has yet been announced, although both are expected to be sold imminently, hence why nothing has yet happened, it seems therefore that we are talking about it being more mid term. This information follows the statement made by Rotala last week, which also suggests that they are interested in the remnants of First Manchester, and also have other operations that they are targeting and are also looking for a fleet in-between Manchester and Birmingham in order to bridge the gap between the two.

With this I guess the next couple of years will be interesting, along with the news that Stagecoach might be looking to buy some of the bus operations from Arriva along with Rotala also possibly picking at parts as well.
