Abellio don't like local commercial buses. Look at Surrey. I can see them keeping their options open but not wanting to conclude any sale until franchising is confirmed and they know they can get work from the franchising.

By a well connected enthusiast on Facebook but I have personally checked it out with a few industry friends and got the same answer from 3 different sources.
Abellio are very pro-franchising (see a report on their website they did re Manchester being franchised!) so I would suspect it is a move into the area before franchising happens. Just wondered if anyone had heard anything inside.
