I think your right. They will need to offer something special to make the mark. Don't forget Finglands are already pretty cheap and the fleet is quite modern. I don't think a batch of shiney new buses will be enough.

Personally I think whoever took over Bluebird was destined to do OK. Bluebird had all but gone to the dogs in the year or so before the takeover with many passengers switching to JPT and First but Stagecoach seem to be doing ok.

Wilmslow road is another story though
