There was a bit of joshing on this thread regarding grocery companies. Possibly convincing evidence that life imitates art, and all that, was a report I read last weekend that KKR & Co Inc, the owners of Trainline, are seriously considering buying part of Asda from Walmart, now that Sainsbury have been rebuffed. So maybe a left-field bid for Arriva is not out of the question. Very much doubt it, but I guess the lucky buyer will be revealed in due time, after the bank holidays are over. If no buyer comes forward, DB may put Arriva on Ebay. If no serious bids within 7 days, Shpock or Gumtree, according to my Source

Lol, it's just speculation, but we will see who the buyer is, it could even be me depending on Gumtree

The only difference would be, I would own the bus company

I'd love to have seen him on the rank at Victoria Station.

TfL seized Prince Philip's Metrocab as it was Euro3 and not ULEZ ready, but I've seen him in a blue TXIII on a private plate not far from Victoria Station
