I think that First Midlands is an enigma,it was cobbled together for administrative reasons purely geographically.
There is absolutely no correlation between Wyvern and Leicester,and not much more between Leicester and Northampton.
Unless things have recently changed,Leicester,Worcester and Hereford (City Services ) are quite good,with the rest probably a drag.
Any disposal would likely be piecemeal,not as a block.Places like Northampton and Kidderminster will perhaps be simply deregistered,not sold.
The rest would surely be attractive to neighbours Arriva and Stagecoach,but MMC andOFT may not agree.
