OFT Investigations
RE: OFT Investigations
I would understand Stagecoach redeploying their new buses at Wigan if instructed to sell it again. I wonder what the OFT would think if they force Stagecoach to sell it, and the only bidder is Arriva?

I have a theory about why the OFT seem to have it in for Stagecoach. When Nicholas Ridley deregulated buses, he had a vision of hundreds of small bus companies competing for business, just like Newsagents do. Conversely, Brian Souter's vision was that his company Stagecoach would be the no 1 bus company in Britain. Well, 1994 briefly and 1996-2010 aside, Stagecoach has been no 1, meaning the score has become Souter 1 Ridley 0. So maybe this is why the OFT do not appear to like Stagecoach?
