It sounds from the article that the head teacher is exaggerating the case a bit, though you can never really tell from articles.
One plus side could be a fuller service for the public without some of the peak time gaps if Fairbrothers chooses to amend their registrations pronto and give up with the Penketh High runs ... though it does sound like they intend to compete instead.

The article seems very exaggerated. A Ofsted report is linked which if read makes no mention of bus services being a issue, but this is the kind of misleading "click bait" journalism you can only expect from the Warrington Gaurdian. The head teacher simply uses the Ofsted report to back up his case and appears to be shifting the blame on to Fairbrothrers to cover his own backside. I don't think using Springfield will necessarily improve reliability, their just as likely to get stuck in a traffic jam or breakdown as Fairbrothers. I think to call safety into question as well is uncalled for, Fairbrothers might not have a nice new set of eco-friendly Optare Versas but to claim that safety is a issue is ridiculous.
