That way there is no competition authority involvement.

That the point I made about Stagecoach could take Oldham and move Middleton to a site round Hollingwood and then run them with First giving them over for them buying the buses or just routes. how many spare op discs does stagecoach have? with them just taking the Oldham road services and 409 and for HCT Manchester and Stagecoach to just take they want and rest being cut as TFGM cant fund them.
