As well as Go-Ahead and Rotala, I wonder whether RATP, owners of Selwyns, could be interested? They have National Express contracts, isolated bus tenders in the North West, many bus tenders in west London and commercial buses in Bournemouth among other operations.

Given the Labour Party’s love fir state owned business RATP would seem a great idea as it is a State owned bus company like most of London buses and National rail businesses. Might as well send profits back to Berlin, Paris or Amsterdam! (Obviously, you’ve guessed, not a lover of State owned enterprises especially the craziness of foreign owned ones!)
