I must admit, when QL beagn expanding last year (winning 411, 465, 467, K5, & X26) I had a gut instinct that someone would make a bid. (had a similar feeling with NCP/NSL)

Let's hope the name stays intact for as long as possible...

I agree. Sorry, But I can't imagine a X26 bus branded with RATP . I would much rather to see it with an Abellio Logo ;D

Still not enough room to consolidate operations at TV and Epsom.

I would imagine, the x26 and 411 into Fulwell, perhaps the 71 into Epsom.

Then the 110 could be shunted into Twickenham.

Maybe some minor shuffling around, with perhaps the k5 swapping with the k4 ?

Interesting note about the ambition for a 20% increase for RATP dev this year. I would imagine more acquisitions will come through this year.

The release note says that are to be run as a standalone business unit ... so no consolidation or shuffling ... unless further management changes are made
