I'd like to think that this is an opportunity for a fully integrated bus/rail network in the Arriva operating area but I wouldn't hold my breath. Arriva had the Merseyrail franchise for a while but lost it, I suspect, because it was the major bus operator on Merseyside. The biggest competitor to the bus and train is the motor car, but the law doesn't see it this way.
