The merseyside depots would need big operators to buy them as they wouldn't be sold off cheap due to the revenue they produce so stagecoach most probs would beable to take 1 or 2 which would most probably be st helens and speke then the other depots maybe go-ahead as they where intrested in GTL when they sold up.
Runcorn would suit the parent company of selwyns.
The likes of winsford,Macclesfield and chester probs D+G.
The welsh operations would suit stagecoach.
Operations else where then possibly transdev would look at some and maybe stagecoach.
London ops i think there would be big intrest in that.

This is all speculation and very hypothetical as there is no suggestion that Arriva is planning to sell its UK bus operations which, incidentally, are very lucrative. All we we do know is that there is a moratorium on fleet replacement within the UK.

Until the Brexit chaos is resolved you may as well cast runes if you wish to plan for the future, whether you run a bus company, manufacture cars or pick apples.
