| Liverpool
Competition |
 |
| Since
deregulation, Liverpool has seen almost incessant competition between
Merseyside and a host of other operators. This came to a
head in the early 1990s when Liverline, Liverbus and Fareway were more
than nibbling at the market. The solution was easy - buy the
competition - North Western bought Liverline and Merseybus bought the
other two. Now Arriva owns everybody - they thought - until
the OFT forced them to sell MTL's Gilmoss depot recently. Confused ? - you will be. See below
for some clarification. |
