Arriva has announced that it will be purchasing Midland (Liyell Ltd) from D&G group, with the company merging into Arriva Midlands. Unlike Wardles, this acquisition will see the Midland name phased out in favour of the Arriva brand.

I wonder if the sale will see any vehicles moved around prior to the transfer?

Been speculation about this for several weeks.

Whilst D & G will shrink back to a single depot in Crewe, it has been probing possible expansion back into its original territory of north Staffs in recent months, and the proceeds of the sale could be a handy 'war chest' for investment both there and at South Lancs.
