RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Will Bus franchising be the winning formula , im still not convinced that all the bus operators are happy , but in the post covid world they may be forced into now to get any help with routes.

I think the franchising costs could go up if the bus companies all work together to up the value of the routes they presemntly operate or operators go bust and the amount of operators dwindle.

Stagecoach are one of the companies that did take an intense dislike to franchising.
