As you can imagine, there are loads of rumours flying about at DM. The CIA are going to buy it and use it to train secret agents. Richard Branson is going to launch his latest hot air ballon from DM. Spearmint rhino are going to convert it to the largest strip club in the world(yes please.... The latest rumour is that go ahead are having 368/193/498 without the DM drivers. Can a company buy/take a route mid term from another company without the drivers?

This must not be true. I don't believe any of this is true.

I know what's happening but I think a lot of people would be mad at me if I said, I know it makes redundancies as well Sad times You will find out soon but I can say it's not another London Company

I think we better wait and see for First London. Plus Go Ahead, why when they are so close to 25%. What happens if it reaches 25%?

So routes from West London would be run by Stagecoach from West Ham? Use a bit of common sense. There is nothing wrong with the way it is at the moment so why change it when it will affect a large number of employees (or as you prefer to call them....Servants)

But theres a lack of small operators operating the London Buses routes. Only one which i know are Sullivan Buses with one route with mini enviros. Plus the Australian Tower Transit is aroudn the corner taking over 3 garages. I personally would like to see 20 operators running the buses in London.

Can a company buy/take a route mid term from another company without the drivers? Theres no more TUPE so if the routes do change, the new company doesn't have to take the existing staff. Im guessing you guys would have to take some kind of redundancy pay or maybe transfer to another garage operated by First

The trouble that first got into seems to me directly because they didn't get the east coast rail line. It has all been downhill since then. It just goes to show that stagecoach were correct when they left London at the time. And now First. Who next ? DelGro, RATP dev, stagecoach, DB , all have major investments world wide. Go ahead is very reliant on the UK Market and it's rail concessions.
