This is a long shot but elsewhere I suggested a Go Ahead Arriva ( provincial) merger. This would leave Arriva London to be taken over by First if they wished to return to London. This is only a suggestion please note .

This is only a suggestion please note . I would be surprised if any operator wanted to come into London at the moment given the perilous state of Transport for London's finances.

This is only a suggestion please note . Go Ahead is unlikely to be in a good position for a merger right now. Share value has almost halved in the last 6 months and the fallout from the Southeastern fiasco hasn’t helped. In addition they are now facing a £73 million lawsuit related to overcharging passengers on TSGN. If anything Go Ahead is a direct target for an all out takeover rather than a merger.

63313 in “Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee” livery: Wonder if we will see more buses across FirstGroup receiving Platinum Jubilee livery? Huddersfield have a few buses going for repaint at the moment so it’s possible

First Kernow has an Optare Solo SR 53865 (WK68 BSZ) in GWR Brunswick Green livery (complete with yellow front warning panel!). It meets the Night Riviera sleeper service in Penzance to transfer passengers to the Scillonian ferry service, then spends the day shuttling passengers between platform 1 and platforms 2/3 at St Erth as there are currently no accessible lifts at the station - these are due to be installed next year.
(Registration note: WK was originally allocated to the Truro LVLO, the K presumably standing for Kernow)
