Arriva have been slashing services for a while now. They're rumoured too to be considering selling their UK operations. So if arriva walked out, big question for macc is who'd take over macclesfield's services?

Could it just be a case of lots of management buyouts? Given how much drivers are on, the management will be on a reasonably large wage. They could easily buy out but again, it would lead to dropping less profitable routes (if there are any 'marginal' routes left by the time they sell up).
