I’m pretty sure at the time it was announced Transdev were buying Rosso, they stated on Twitter that they were looking forward to expanding further into Manchester and when asked about the subject of proposed franchising said the idea of franchising didn’t worry them.

I would have thought Oldham would have fitted nicely into the transdev business under the Rosso arm so to speak.

Transdev’s UK bus operations are the only ones, in their large worldwide portfolio, that don’t operate in a franchised/regulated environment, so of course they won’t be worried about it potentially happening in GM.
