Potentially, but there's no plans to consolidate the number of Manchester depots, Eccles was increased in size not so long ago buy buying adjacent building & flattening it for extra parking.

It would be a good move by Rotala if they could now buy Arriva Manchester's Bolton & Wythenshawe ops, it would consolidate their position in those parts of GM. Guess that will be dictated by who buys Arriva Group & for what reason.
