Looking at Merseyside (and and more so Liverpool) from a bigger angle had MTL of stayed things would of been so much different as remember it was 2 former MTL Managers that bought Gillmoss from Arriva following a TC ruling and with events of GTL this then gave Stagecoach a chance to get into Liverpool on a big scale!

when you look at what is and what could of been i do have to admit things would of been better with MTL in charge.

Im sure that Stagecoach would have found a way to slide into Merseyside eventually if hadnt been via Gillmoss it would have been someone else , Stagecoach are adept at looking for openings .
