Presumably the Metro liveried eVoRas at Bootle will also be repainted and transferred away if Arriva don't win the Sefton Franchise.

It depends if they have the money to fund new buses; the same for West Yorkshire. as Arriva is no longer bankrolled from DB. I Squared Capital will get a payment for handing the depots and routes over and may have the view of we can then use that money for dividends.

The City Region are supplying the buses for these operations anyway so no incoming operator will be supplying any new buses as it stands.

Are they sure they'll be all built in time? surely some older vehicles might have to loaned until they are all built.
