Only three days ago, another thread was claiming Stagecoach were publicly stating they would pull out of Chester in two years if they didn't increase profits. Now they are supposed to be declaring designs on an Operator which - forgive me if I am wrong - operates mostly contracted services in sparely populated North Wales and Cheshire. It seems to me that some people are still living in the 1990s and don't realise that the CMA stick their oar in every proposed take over by a "big" company, irrelevant of the reasons behind the deal or the share of the *local* market.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but wasn't it Chester that was making profit under First ownership with Rockferry being the loss maker! and would they really be risking losing more money on new or reborn routes such as the X8, you have to ask where these rumours are coming from and how true they actually are!
