Rotala have some routes in Redditch and quite a few in the West Midlands. However, as Rotala are small in national terms this takeover may well be cleared without fuss.

Despite the 200 new deckers for Leeds and Manchester ex-Olympics, and a few buses for London - some for contract gains rather than fleet replacement - there have been few new buses otherwise recently. I wonder when these will resume. Apparently South Yorkshire is due some and another 100 double-deckers are due for Leeds.

Leeds are due around 100 new DD & 20 New SDs,Wales are due about 10 new Enviro 200s,South Yorkshire are due around 60 to be split between rotherham & sheffield (im guessing there new streetlite is the first of this order to be delivered) plus glasgows ment to be getting more new buses,i could see manchester getting more buses plus if metro have there way the likes of halifax & huddersfield could see some new buses as well
