So again who ever gets it could say we don't want the lease that depot if First sold it to TFGM ( unlikely they would not sell it )

And what happens at Arriva and First at Bolton?

They have to make a offer and what happens to buses owned by Groups or banks may not be sold if owners don't agree. this is going to be an issue if Stagecoach don't keep there new buses and depot as tfgm will be forced to buy at any cost offered.

until we see how Arriva Bolton / First Bolton / Tyrer Bus / Atlantic travel / Vison bus / Stagecoach wigan / DNW get taken over we don't really know what going to happen. and DNW is also there group bus workshop so they may not go easy

I work at Hyde Rd..there is notice up telling us the depots are going to be be compulsory purchased...tfgm decide what services will be run out of each depot not the companies...the notice tells us routes could change at Hyde Rd including running services from other depots & companies...also that Hyde Rd could be operated by another company...dont know what the training school has got to do with anything ..that can be just moved
